Did you know that October is National Orthodontic Month? There is no better time than the present to start your orthodontic treatment, with our special promotion of $1,000 your Invisalign Full Case! Now through the end of October you can take advantage of this limited time offer!
There are two major types of orthodontic treatments: conventional metal braces with brackets and wires, and clear plastic aligners, or Invisalign. The use of Invisalign is an efficient method for tooth movements that is just as effective as traditional metal braces, and has some added benefits that makes them even better than traditional braces! In addition, for the month of October.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The doctor will take an impression of your teeth and send it to the Invisalign center. A set of clear, computer-generated trays is ideally worn 24 hours a day with change-outs every two weeks. Most Invisalign treatments take six months to one year. All orthodontics, including Invisalign, will require some form of retention (the nightly wearing of retainers) to prevent the teeth from shifting back.
What are the Benefits of Invisalign as Opposed to Traditional Metal Braces?
The reality of active orthodontic treatment is that clean teeth play a crucial role – as clean teeth respond to the gentle force from orthodontic wires as anticipated – whereas teeth and braces that are covered in sticky residues and plaque cause increased inflammation in the mouth – making it harder for teeth to move.
One of its best advantages is that the trays are relatively invisible. Hence the name Invisalign. Some people simply don’t want anyone to know they are wearing braces. They also provide help for people who wish to obtain straight teeth while still feeling comfortable in social situations. Wearing Invisalign offers comfort because it does not affect your speech.
Braces are usually metallic, or typically silver color. You can pay extra for color or enamel color. Invisalign, on the other hand, is clear and invisible.
For irremovable braces, treatment time would be 24/7 for an average of 2 years, depending on patient needs. Whereas for the Invisalign, patients wear them for 22-24 hrs/day for 6 to 18 months, also depending on the patient’s needs. The maintenance for braces is to brush brackets and wires regularly while brushing teeth; water pick may be helpful. While, for Invisalign, you can use the proprietary Invisalign Cleaning system, or brushing and rinsing trays in luke warm water.
The follow-up visits for Invisalign and conventional braces are also different. For Invisalign, you can change aligner trays every two weeks; visits every 4 to 6 weeks. Not only are they invisible, they are also removable, no issues with food getting caught, no difficulty eating, and no discomfort from wires, which is a huge plus.
Making sure your orthodontic braces and appliances stay clean not only impacts your oral health but also contributes to the movement of teeth during orthodontic treatment. Teeth that are bogged down with remnants of food and plaque aren’t able to adequately move into the desired position in the mouth. Alongside with gradually increasing the difficulty of movement of teeth, bleeding and puffy gums are sure signs that proper brushing and flossing is being neglected – is also seen. It doesn’t require an expert to understand that sugar are the cause of dental decay and gingivitis, which if not taken care of will lead to periodontitis.
