Sometimes adult and older teenagers are hesitant to get braces that are
much-needed to revitalize a smile or straighten teeth. Usually because they see
the only option for braces being the conventional wire and bracket braces. New
technologies, however, have been developed using clear or invisible braces that
can predict tooth movement and enable people who might not otherwise opt for
braces to undergo the treatment with an alternative that is barely visible and
esthetic. This can enhance self-esteem and physical confidence. Clear or
invisible braces are recommended for treating teeth that are either very
crowded or widely spaced apart, crooked teeth or teeth with an overbite or
overjet. Complex bite problems and certain misalignment cases that are more
severe require the treatment of more traditional orthodontics carmel valley.
Two types of clear and invisible braces are used in the application of
cosmetic braces. The first is known as inside braces, which are braces that are
attached to the back of the teeth and so become hidden from view. Custom
brackets are attached to the insides of the upper teeth and sometimes to the
lower teeth as well. They use computer technology to detect the movement of
teeth and make the necessary corrections. The brackets are fixed and removable
only by the dentist who put them in. Sometimes elastics are used with these
braces to accelerate the treatment.
The other type of invisible braces del mar is known as a clear
aligner. This brace is a set of removable aligners which are clear and provide
a treatment which is almost free of all irritations and discomfort due to
adjustment as the aligners are custom fit to one’s teeth. They are usually
almost completely invisible, resistant to getting cloudy from water and other
liquids and minimally invasive. There are no brackets, no wires that can get
broken or poke into the sides of the mouth and can be removed for eating,
drinking and special events and for brushing and flossing one’s teeth. Aligners
are usually provided in sets to correct problems in certain parts of the mouth.
Once the teeth have been re-aligned in that area; the next set is provided and
so on, until the desired results are achieved
