Clear dental braces allow individuals who are uncomfortable with the unsightliness of metal braces to still get the corrective orthodontic treatment they need. New technologies and better materials can now produce the same results as traditional orthodontic therapy.
People have two types of clear braces to choose from when they go to a cosmetic dentist. Each option has its own unique advantages over metal braces and is to be considered in the light of the degree that correction must be performed, the desired length of total treatment time, and the finances available to pay for treatment.
Removable aligners are clear dental braces a custom-fitted to your lower and upper arches. The aligners are built around 3D models that are made from impressions that are taken of your upper and lower arches. A computer animation sequence is then run that forecasts the correction of your bite in a series of 9-15 steps.
The corrective actions required in each step are then used to shape the aligner so it will exert just enough pressure on the teeth to begin moving them back into place--without hurting you in the process. As you receive a new set of aligners every 2 weeks, you are advised to wear the device for a minimum of 22 hours per day, taking it out only to brush and floss teeth or to eat.
Aligners give you several distinct advantages over metal brackets and wires. For starters, Invisalign aligners are completely transparent. It is nearly impossible for people to notice them, even when they are standing right in front of you.
They are completely removable, so you can take out your aligners for brushing and flossing your teeth, or to eat a meal. Aligners can be worn in your sleep without causing you discomfort.
The high level of customization brought about by 3D computer technology makes these clear dental braces one of the most precise and effective orthodontic treatments in the world of cosmetic dentistry.
By pinpointing the very smallest of problems with the computer, each corrective step can be planned and literally built into the very structure of the aligner.
Removable aligners are manufactured from special, medical plastic and feature comfortable, smooth edges that will never irritate your gums. You will more than likely experience noticeable results before you ever even before you complete the program.
Aligners take nearly as long as banded orthodontic treatments to produce final results, but the incremental precision in correction, total comfort throughout the procedure, and the virtually invisible secrecy of their presence makes Invisalign a clearly superior option to metal braces.
Most aligners cost approximately $6,000.00 total for full treatment.
Six month clear braces are a new orthodontic treatment that combines the basic design of traditional braces with superior grade materials and much more comfortable adjustment methods. There are several advantages these braces offers over metal brackets and wires..
As their name indicates, these clear dental braces require only 6 months to produce the results that traditional orthodontic braces takes 2 years to accomplish. The clear brackets and tooth-colored wires are practically invisible. Patient tray kits make adjustments convenient, fast, and comfortable.
The shape and size of the brackets and wires let you brush and floss much more effectively than metal equivalents.
