Invisalign Invisible Braces, The Best Way To Align Your Teeth
Invisalign invisible braces is a boon to those who have malocclusion or cross bites who are hesitant to have their misaligned teeth corrected using the traditional metal braces.
Metal braces are really cumbersome to wear and maintain. Gum tissue irritation is a common complaint of metal brace wearers. It is installed by the dentist on the mal aligned teeth and the process of fitting it causes pain on the patient. Since it is fixed on the patient’s mouth, some foods cannot be eaten by its wearer because it may ruin the braces or even destroy the teeth. Food debris that clings to the wire of the braces is very hard to remove and this can cause teeth stain and teeth decay. And the worst is being hesitant to smile because you wouldn’t want others to be distracted by the wires in your mouth. Thus, it’s no wonder why many especially teenagers rather choose to tolerate the defective positioning of their teeth than suffer the burden and embarrassment of wearing metal braces.
But the good news is invisalign dental braces can effectively treat malocclusion or cross bites more comfortably, more hygienically and more aesthetically than metal braces. It is made from smooth and clear plastics called retainer tray. It can be easily remove by the wearers just before eating and every time there’s the need to floss or brush the teeth. This way the cleanliness of the teeth and the retainer tray can easily be maintained. And what’s best is, you can freely eat what you want, just don’t forget to remove the retainer tray first before indulging on those crispy and sticky food.
Just like metal braces invisalign orthodontics braces should be worn daily for the whole 24 hours. But unlike metal braces there’s no need to regularly bring it to the orthodontist for fitting adjustments which involves tightening that can be painful. As with the invisalign braces, discomforts can be felt when wearing it for the first time but these are temporary. To avoid scratches on the gum tissue where it comes in contact, wax should be applied on the area.
During the initial check-ups, the invisalign dentist will thoroughly examine the patient’s teeth. Pictures will be taken and also teeth impressions or moulds, so that a 3D figure of the mouth can be generated. Then through advance laboratory technology, gradual stages of teeth alignment will be simulated and a retainer tray for each stage of teeth alignment will be made. On the average 18 to 30 trays will be used. However, the number of trays varies according to the degree of mal alignment of the teeth.
Since numerous trays will be used in series, the laboratory will send only one or two trays at a time to the invisalign cosmetic dentist. The dentist will then caution the patient to strictly wear the trays in correct order for two weeks for each tray. After this period the teeth will have move several micro millimeters already then the next tray in the series should be worn for a period of two weeks again. Then the third tray should be worn and up to the final tray in the series so that the desired positioning of the teeth will be achieved.
This system is quite simple and what’s best is you have the freedom to smile already even when your teeth is still in the process of correction. Only invisalign invisible braces can give you that benefit.
