From Braces to Retainers: The Next Step Towards a Perfect Smile............!!!!

Orthodontic treatment is a process of moving teeth from one position to another. In doing so, the bone and gum tissue surrounding the teeth have to adapt and adjust to the new tooth position.

The teeth are held into place by many microscopic elastic fibers. These fibers are spread all along the tooth and attach the tooth to the gum tissue, the tooth to the surrounding bone, and the surrounding bone to the gum tissue. They are like tiny rubber bands that hold the tooth in place but allow it to move when pressure is placed on the tooth. If the teeth were not allowed to move, they would crack and break when we bite down on them. These elastic fibers are like the springs and shock absorbers in your car, allowing the car to go over bumps and dips with relative comfort.

After a tooth has been moved through orthodontic treatment, it needs to be held into place. This is where the orthodontic retainer becomes a valuable tool in someone's orthodontic treatment. Since the elastic fibers around the teeth have been stretched, they will tend to pull the tooth back to it's original position unless resistance is applied to that tooth. This is the role of the orthodontic retainer.

Wearing orthodontic retainers will help to maintain the beautiful smile your orthodontist was able to give you. Taking proper care of your retainers will ensure they will last many years to allow you to continue to smile with confidence.

Lingual Braces - Treat Your Teeth Unnoticeably !!!

Lingual braces are an innovative option of dental treatment. In this treatment, the braces are attached to the rear side of the teeth. This way they become completely invisible and non-interfering with person's look.

Braces are quite effectual and the treatment is also speedy. Lingual braces are generally suggested by cosmetic dentists when the patient faces problems like misalignment of teeth, uneven teeth, too much spacing, overbite, cross bite or overcrowding of teeth. The dentists may suggest braces for correcting certain dental problems. This will automatically bring about a better smile. Problems of jaws or excess strain on jaws can also be rectified by using these braces.

Today a lot more older people have to obtain braces for problems that occurred over time. These people are more reluctant to get these braces simply because people never have to know they have them.

Use Invisalign Braces To Make A Good Smile Great....!!!

Invisalign is a unique orthodontic correction option that is very different from traditional braces. Instead of wires and metal brackets, the patient uses a series of molded plastic trays to gradually change the positioning of the teeth. These trays are known as aligners and provide a subtle treatment option to those who don't like the appearance of braces.

The Full Invisalign treatment takes on average about a year long. But much like traditional braces it depends on the severity of the patient's condition. Many Invisalign certified Orthodontists and Dentists can help progress the treatment and improve your smile with the help of the invisalign technology. 

 

It is really up to the patient, in how long they will have the aligners in. The aligners are removable so it is important that the patient keeps with the consistency of the treatment and keeps their aligners in.

How does Invisalign work?

The Invisalign treatment uses a series of clear, snap-on, custom-fit, removable mouth trays to straighten your teeth. These almost invisible mouth trays apply a controlled amount of force, gently and consistently moving your teeth into proper position. The clear aligners are worn all day and can be removed while eating and brushing.

Invisalign braces are the perfect solution to misaligned teeth.  Invisalign aligners are practically invisible meaning that no one will even know you are wearing them. 

 

Patients now can happily say bye-bye to metallic braces and welcome the Invisalign Invisible Braces.
