Tooth Positioners are better alternative to metal braces

Teeth that are crooked or ones that do not correctly fit together are more challenging when it comes to cleaning. They are also vulnerable to tooth decay as well as other types of periodontal diseases. Such teeth cause extra stress on your chewing muscles leading to periodic headaches, shoulder, neck and back pains, and even the TMJ syndrome. Crooked teeth impact negatively on your physical appearance, and they dent personal confidence and self esteem. Braces which use metal wires are the most common orthodontic tools which are used in order to correct the misaligned teeth; these dental appliances have worked very well for many people during the past few decades. However, as technology changes and CAT analysis is used in tests and researchers have been able to design a different type of brace, one of that is called a Tooth Positioner.
In order to address the cosmetic concerns of many people who use or have used wire-based braces in the past dentists have designed tooth positioner which is virtually invisible. These invisible aligners are able to do the very same job; even better than that metal braces do, the difference is that they don't look awkward and are very convenient to wear. One cannot notice easily that you are wearing clear aligners until he is very close to you.
Let us take a look at some of the advantages that tooth positioner had over metal braces:
  • Clear braces does not cause irritation because there are no metallic braces which will cause friction
  • The tooth positioner is virtually invisible so it can be worn at any time
  • That metal braces are very hard to handle because they're not as easy to remove as these invisible braces
  • Whenever you want to grab a bite or brush your teeth could simply take the positioner of that you are good to go
  • It protects the surface of the teeth which prevents Enamel wear from constant grinding
  • They do not cause white spot damage which is very common for people who use metal braces
  • They did not cost Enamel decalcification

Invisible clear aligners are just one of the alternative to those ugly metal braces which can transform your smile to your dream smile. This series of clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit comfortably over your teeth, gently guiding them into a new position.

Many adults would like to straighten their teeth, but fear the thought of wearing traditional metal braces. Thanks to rapid advances in orthodontic treatment in recent years, there are now a number of discreet alternative available like clear or invisible aligners

While many of these products are advertised as cosmetic teeth straightening devices, the health benefits of straighter teeth should not be forgotten. When teeth are properly aligned, with fewer gaps in which food particles can become trapped, they are easier to clean – which helps to minimise your chances of developing tooth decay and gum disease.

Invisalign treatment is available to both adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth in a discreet and comfortable manner. You will need to come into our practice for a consultation with a dentist, who will examine your teeth and gums and assess if this is the best treatment for your needs.

Thanks to the advanced technology behind Invisalign, your dentist will be able to show you what results you can expect from the outset of treatment. If you decide to go ahead with treatment, you will be prescribed a series of clear aligners.

Every patient’s needs are different, so the exact number of aligners and length of treatment will vary from case to case – your dentist will advise you of the number of aligners required and predicted length of treatment. On average, treatment takes between six and eighteen months.You should wear your aligners for about 22 hours a day, and change them fortnightly.

Clear Aligners Provide a Less Embarrassing Choice for Teens

For decades, traditional braces were the only orthodontic choice for moving misaligned teeth. Although they’re quite effective, they can cause discomfort and, for teens especially, embarrassment due to their noticeable metallic appearance.

In recent years, though, technology has produced an alternative to braces that’s proven effective for many types of patients. Besides being less cumbersome and disruptive to everyday l ife than braces, clear aligners have another advantage that appeals to teens — they’re much less visible.

Introduced in the late 1990s, clear aligners are a system of individual trays made of nearly invisible polyurethane plastic worn over the upper teeth. The trays are computer-generated based on the patient’s individual mouth structure captured in photographs and x-rays. Each tray in the sequence is incrementally smaller in size; the patient begins wearing the first aligner in the series for about two weeks, 20 to 22 hours a day. They then switch to the next tray in the series for about the same amount of time, and continue in this fashion until they’ve worn each aligner in the series.

Besides their improvement in appearance, aligners also have another advantage: unlike traditional braces, aligners can be removed from the mouth for eating or on a limited basis for rare important social occasions. Brushing and flossing are also much easier with aligners, which don’t pose the same access problems as traditional braces.

Clear or invisible aligners were once only effective with select types of orthodontic patients, which didn’t always include teens. Over the last decade, however, significant changes to design and additional implements have widened their application to more patients, especially teens. For example, we can now add tiny “power ridges” to the aligner design that give greater precision over desired tooth movement to create a more controlled and efficient force on the teeth. More recent aligners are also being produced with a thinner, more comfortable material.

A thorough orthodontic exam will tell whether your teen is a good candidate for clear aligners. If so, they’ll benefit from a more comfortable and less embarrassing experience while gaining a new smile for life.
