Straighten Your Teeth Without Metal Wires
Traditional braces can be a real drag; not only are the metal brackets visible every time you open your mouth, but the metal wires can also poke your gums and teeth, leaving you in pain and generally fed up! Clear braces offer a comfortable, almost invisible alternative: removable plastic retainers that gradually move teeth into their new positions without embarrassing you.The brand name for these invisible non-metallic braces is Invisalign. For most patients, Invisalign is just as effective as traditional metal braces, while having a much smaller impact on daily life.
Treating Orthodontic Conditions with Braces
Issues with tooth spacing and alignment can cause serious problems if left untreated. For example, teeth that are crowded or awkwardly positioned can be very difficult to keep clean, which leaves them at high risk of decay. Meanwhile, conditions such as a pronounced overbite, underbite or crossbite can cause the teeth to wear down or lead to jaw pain.Every two weeks, you will change to a new retainer. Each Invisalign retainer is subtly different from the last, so that your teeth gradually progress to their new positions. You should wear the clear braces while sleeping, but remove them when consuming food or drinks other than water.
Advantages of Invisible Braces
Clear braces are much more comfortable than wire braces. There are no sharp metal components to irritate your mouth. You can remove invisible braces to brush and floss your teeth, so you shouldn't have any trouble keeping your mouth clean and fresh.
Invisible braces are at least as successful as wire braces at treating most orthodontic conditions. A few conditions might require attachments (small pieces of dental cement) to be applied to one or more of your teeth so that the non-metal braces can grip and rotate them into position. The attachments match the color of your teeth, so you can still enjoy all the aesthetic benefits of invisible braces.
Some of the biggest beneficiaries of clear braces are teenagers, who are already self-conscious about their appearance. But clear braces can also give a big boost to the confidence of adults; whether you are meeting important clients or going on a date, being able to smile widely without feeling uncomfortable is important for making a good impression.
