You know, there is something about humans that really sets us apart from the other animals that inhabit this world. The thing that sets humans apart is that we are able to make use of tools to do things in the long term. At some point, our ancestors looked at the world around them and said that they were tired of being transient, of continuously walking back and forth chasing herds and weather, and decided that they could use tools and rocks and mortar and clay to make homes and with roofs and that this would be a much better way to live out their lives, and so it was. Then they decided that rather than leaving their roofed houses every day and going out into the wild, they could bring agriculture to them, and that such a thing would allow them to not have to risk life and limb for berries. And to accomplish this, they used those tools to change the land around them and to bring in the waters from streams to make their crops grow. Eventually, they also went out and caught wild creatures and somewhat domesticated them, which made the process of getting meat and skins and furs a whole lot simpler.
And of course, as with all great groups, we eventually turned that improvement to the world around us and to the self as well. If you want to make sure your smile is going to look its best, you may notice that this is the place and the time to begin orthodontic improvement.
But today, if you want to fix your smile, you are going to be able to do so with little hassle just by going to your local orthodontic office and see what they can offer you to make sure your smile will look its very best. Here are just a few things that they may be able to offer you:
1. Diagnosis
The first step in making sure that you are going to be able to have the smile that you want is the same as the first step in any sequence of medical treatment. In this case, you just have to go to your local orthodontist office and look and see what is causing your smile to look as bad as it is, and why your teeth are misaligned. This is the beginning of your treatment plan.
2. Surgery
In some cases, you are going to find that when your teeth are not looking their best, you are going to need to turn to surgery. Basically, if you are having issues with the way that your teeth currently look because they are overcrowded, you are going to want to make sure that you remove a tooth or two, as needed, to make sure that the rest have the space that they need in order to be able to better spread out and whatnot.
3. Invisalign
Finally, when it comes to the actual alignment of teeth, Invisalign is the most advanced treatment. They will be able to make sure that your smile is going to look its very best. The fact is that when it comes to fixing the smile, Invisalign will allow you to fix your smile while also taking advantage of a measure of discretion and comfort that you will not be able to get with other treatments.

Finding out why these orthodontic practices are highly regarded will give you a sense of what others value in their experiences at the orthodontist office, which will help you formulate your ideas about what elements matter the most to you in your experience at the orthodontist office. The opinions of your friends and family will hold a great deal of weight as you’re narrowing your choice of the orthodontists that you want to find out more about.
Next you’ll want to take your research online. You’ll want to find about the online presence of each of the orthodontic practices that you’re considering visiting. You should be able to find the location of the office, information about the range of prices for orthodontic services, and information regarding the kinds of orthodontic treatment methods that each practices specializes in. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who can provide treatment for both your kids and teens as well as your spouse, you’ll want to make sure that the practice you’re considering shows a wide array of services for all kinds of patients.

This option is not the most discreet choice of braces available today but it works for patients who aren’t concerned about their appearance during the treatment process. For those who need a more discreet form of braces, Invisalign braces are a great option. These braces are highly effective and incredibly discreet. For this treatment method, patients are given a series of completely clear plastic aligners that are 3D printed and computer designed specifically for their mouth.

Very often, kids fear what they do not know. Take, for example, trips to the dentist office. Often, this scares young kids, because they involve many things they aren’t familiar with; tools they’ve never seen before, strangers putting things in and poking out their mouths and unfamiliar sounds. The one advantage dentist offices do have, however, is that they begin visiting dentists at such a young age it quickly becomes a routine part of their lives, instead of something to fear. Unfortunately, this advantage does not exist when it comes to visiting the orthodontist office. Once kids begin going to the orthodontist, they are at least seven years old. In fact, they may have already heard stories from friends and siblings, talking about how scary it is and all of the things that can happen at the orthodontist, like getting braces. Many children will build up a healthy fear of the orthodontist office before they even begin their orthodontic care.
The fears, however, can be eased with fact. If you explain to you child exactly what will happen at the orthodontic office, taking them through the process step by step, you will go a long way in easing their fears. When the mystery of what is going on is taken away, their imagine will be calmed; instead of scary imagery, they will be imagining what is really going to happen. Of course, for you to be able to explain to your child what is going to happen at the orthodontic office, you have to know yourself. That is why today we are going to go over exactly what you will go through when you take your child for their first trip to the orthodontic office.
Paperwork comes first
This should be old hat for you; the orthodontist office is no different from any other medical appointment in that your first visit begins with filling out paperwork. There are many forms to fill out, but this is needed so your child’s orthodontist has all the information they need in order to provide the right kind of care. While your child will not be involved in filling out the paperwork, it is likely that they will be interested in what you are doing. Therefore, you should explain to them that you are filling the forms out so the orthodontist knows all about them. Let them know that the orthodontist needs to know this so that they can decide what is the best way to give your child the perfect smile they need and deserve. While you are busy filling out paperwork, it can also be helpful to encourage your child explore the waiting room, becoming more comfortable in this new environment. It is likely that the orthodontic office, particularly one that is designed with children in mind, will have books and games set out for the children to entertain themselves with. These not only work to distract your child while you get everything that needs to be taken care of done, they can also help them relax and forget all about their initial fears.
Introductions
Once you finish filling out the necessary paperwork, you and your child will be taken back to the exam room, where they will be introduced to the staff that will be handling their orthodontic care for years to come. Obviously, the orthodontist will introduce themselves and make an effort to get to know the child and let the child get to know them. Then, the rest of the team will be brought in and introduced. This includes the assistants and technicians; this is important, because they will be the people who are mist involved in your child’s orthodontic care.
Preliminary exam
Of course, at some point an examination will take place. The orthodontist will need to examine your child’s mouth, jaw and teeth. This will probably be the most fearful moment for your child. It can be helpful to assure your child that nothing is going to happen during this preliminary exam and that the orthodontist just needs to have a look around.
Smile for the camera!
Once the routine is finished, the orthodontist will probably want to take pictures, both regular pictures and x-rays. The normal pictures will most likely involve photographing your child smiling, with a neutral expression, and in profile. This is so they will have a visual track record as treatment progresses. X-rays will be taken for the same reason, and also to find out more about the structure of your child’s jaw and mouth. This should not be unfamiliar for your child, as it is likely they have gone through the process at the dentist. Be sure they understand that it is no different from the x-rays they have had taken at the dentist office.

There are many adults who go through life with crooked teeth, unhappy with how their smile looks. It is typical that if they don’t get braces during childhood or their teenage years, they never will. This means that they suffer their entire lives with the effects of having crooked teeth. Often, their self-esteem suffers the most, as they are ashamed of their smile and do their best not to show it. They will take strides to avoid others seeing their smile, such as hiding from cameras and putting off meeting new people for fear of being judged based on their smile. Of course, those suffering these effects frequently consider getting braces to fix their issues. However, they typically dismiss this issue because when they think about braces the image that comes to mind is one of a mouth full of metal. It simply does not seem worth spending months or even years being uncomfortable and more self-conscious about their smile.
What these people are not aware of, however, is that they have another choice. Having straight teeth does not require the you go through the hassle of traditional metal braces. Perhaps if more people were aware that there is an alternative, they would take the next step to straighten their teeth. This alternative, the one that could give them the smile they have always wanted, is Invisalign. We want those who may benefit from them to understand this alternative option and why they are, in a number of ways, better than traditional metal braces. So today, we are going go over the basics of Invisalign braces; if you are one of those suffering from crooked teeth, you will want to keep reading.
What are Invisalign braces?
A relatively new way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign braces will give you the smile you have always wanted. By using a specially designed system, Invisalign braces uses trays that will straighten the teeth. These trays are designed using 3D imaging technology, technology that simply wasn’t around when metal braces became the common way to re-align teeth. These trays are clear and they sit flush against the teeth. This means that they are nearly invisible; only the wearer will know they are there. Obviously, this a big benefit to many people. A fair amount of people put off getting braces because they do not want to deal with the cosmetic issues that metal braces bring with them; they worry they look juvenile, unprofessional and unattractive. This fear is not unfounded; because young people are usually the ones who get braces, there is a prevailing idea that those wearing them look immature.
The Invisalign system has two trays, one for the bottom row of teeth and one for the top. Every two weeks, the wearer receives a new set from their orthodontist, a set that will pull their teeth closer to alignment. Typically, treatment will last between 9 and 18 months.
Why benefits do Invisalign braces have that traditional metal braces don’t?
We have already gone over Invisalign’s most well known advantage, and that is the fact that are very nearly invisible. With Invisalign braces, wearers do not have to worry about the whole world knowing that they are getting their teeth straightened. There is more than just invisibility that makes Invisalign braces a more attractive choice than traditional metal braces.
There is a not insignificant amount of pain associated with traditional metal braces. They are made up of many different bands, brackets and wires; these are required to pull the teeth into alignment. Unfortunately, they also crowd the mouth and rub against the inside of the lips and cheeks. This rubbing creates sores that can make simple things like eating and speaking difficult. The trays Invisalign braces utilize, on the other hand, are smooth and sit directly against the teeth. They do not create friction, and therefore they do not create sores. You level of discomfort with Invisalign braces will be considerably lower than with traditional metal braces.
It’s also more difficult to take care of your dental hygiene with traditional metal braces. All those parts we spoke about make the perfect hiding spots for food particles and bacteria; these areas are also very difficult to clean. That means that serious oral health issues such as tooth decay and cavities can occur. Once again, Invisalign braces fix this issue. The trays are removable. When it is time for the wearer to brush or floss, they simply take out the trays and proceed as they always have. There is no added risk of oral health issues.

Steel, titanium, gold, silver, ceramic, plastic; these are some of the materials used to restore and repair your teeth. Most of them are also used to provided cosmetic and functional improvements to your teeth and bite. What is common about these materials? They are very durable, some can be very expensive, all are relatively common in our lives because they have a myriad of uses, both exotic and common.
A common use of such materials is in the fabrication of dental braces. Dental braces which are used to improve the lives of humans by restoring, repairing and refreshing our smiles and correcting some dental functions. Crooked teeth and improper bites can be aesthetically displeasing and can also result in lower functionality, contribute to unusual and excessive wear patterns and cause jaw pain and long-lasting problems like TMJ (a serious jaw condition called temporomandibular Joint dysfunction, glad it can be shortened to initials, which occurs when the bite is out of alignment and results in severe pain within the joint and muscles controlling movement of the jaw).
These materials are used to craft a new look and feel through the use of orthodontic treatment. You can have a lasting improvement in your smile and your attitude after a short time of skilled treatment by an experienced orthodontist. Let’s begin with teeth, the basis for the improvements and the braces. Teeth are often not perfectly aligned and corrective efforts can make the alignment more perfect through the use of braces.
There are four basic types of dental braces. The types are called metal band, “clear”, invisible, and aligners. The type called metal band braces is one of the first braces used. In metal band braces, stainless steel brackets are cemented to the front surface of the teeth. A wire is used to connect all of the brackets and to deliver gentle, continuous pressure to each bracket according to an orthodontic plan developed specifically for your mouth and designed to accomplish movement of teeth according to your particular needs. The metal band braces are capable of correcting almost any degree of dental remodeling, including severe problems. They are in place for a period of eighteen to twenty-four months, and sometimes a bit longer.
The second type mentioned above is known as “clear” braces. Although the materials used are not really clear, these types of braces are not as obvious as the metal bands. The brackets are made of ceramic or plastic composites and a white wire is used to connect the brackets and provide pressure for the remodeling. Basically everything else is the same as the metal band braces including duration of treatment.
A third type is called invisible braces, or lingual braces. In this case the metal brackets and the wire are applied to the inside surface of the teeth and they are not readily apparent; in other words, invisible braces. There are two methods for installation of the invisible braces.
The first method is for a highly skilled and experienced orthodontist to place the components of the braces manually. A second newer method involves a prefabrication process. This process is known by the brand names of “Insignia braces” and “Incognito braces”. Rather than relying exclusively on the skills of the orthodontist for design and placement, the orthodontist prepares a detailed and precise set of measurements for you mouth, along with a personalized orthodontic plan to a manufacturer. The manufacturer uses advanced methods to produce an appliance engineered and customized to provide you with the results required for your unique requirements. The orthodontist inserts the appliance into your mouth and makes periodic, required adjustments.
The final type of braces is known as aligners, and one of the most well-known is a brand called “Invisalign“. An aligner is made of transparent plastic and sets are manufactured specifically for your teeth and precise changes specified in the orthodontic plan. Multiple sets of increasingly aggressive aligners (up to two or three dozen) are made and provided by the manufacturer. During periodic exams, the orthodontist will place the next set on your teeth. Remodeling of the teeth is constant using aligners, but they must be removed while eating and after eating you must floss and brush your teeth. The user then replaces the aligner in the mouth.
A remodeling accelerator, such as the brand “AcceleDent Aura”, can be used to speed up the rearrangement of the teeth. It is used in addition to braces, and the time requirement is twenty minutes per day. Micropulses are transmitted through a mouthpiece to the teeth, and those vibrations cause the teeth to be moved more rapidly, often reducing the time required for braces by months.

You have always prided yourself on the fact that you do everything you can to stay as healthy as possible. With your health in mind, you make sure that you stick to a good diet, and stay in shape by working out on a regular basis. You also make sure to see your doctor frequently. Being health conscious also extends your oral health. You do all you can to make sure your teeth and gums stay in great shape. You brush regularly – at least two, but often three, times a day. You also make sure to floss every night before bed. You are even sure to stay away from sugary food and drinks that could contribute to tooth decay. You visit your dentist office twice a year in order to receive professional exams and cleanings. All of this diligence should result in not only a healthy smile, but a beautiful one. You should love the smile you have. Unfortunately, that is not the case for you. While it is true your oral health is in great shape, it is also true that your teeth are crooked. There is nothing you can do about this fact at home. All the brushing in the world will not give you the straight smile you so desire.
It Is not it getting braces had never crossed your mind. In fact, you have thought of it quite often. You have never gone through with it though because the idea of walking around with a mouth full of metal is not an appealing one to you. Continuing through life with crooked teeth seems like the better option. After all, there are many who would consider an adult having braces to look immature and unprofessional. The risk on your personal and professional life is too great.
Luckily for you, however, there is an alternative option. You can achieve the straight smile you have always wanted without having a mouth full of metal. This can be done through the use of Invisalign braces. Invisalign braces leave behind disadvantages center inherent in traditional metal braces. Of course it is entirely possible that you are not familiar with Invisalign braces. So today we are going to talk about exactly what they are and why they could be the right choice for you.
What are Invisalign braces?
Invisalign braces are a new kind of braces. They use a clear aligner system in order to straighten the teeth. These aligners come in the form of clear trays that slip over the teeth. When most people imagine braces, they probably think about all of the different parts that are involved; the brackets, bands and wires. The need for all of these parts are eliminated with Invisalign braces. The trays that make up the Invisalign system come in sets of two, one for the top row of teeth and one for the bottom. These trays are clear, giving Invisalign its most well-known, and popular, advantage – invisibility. The fact that the trays are clear means that only the person wearing them will have to know they are there. The worries of what having braces would do to one’s appearance and how others view them are eliminated.
3-D imaging technology is used to make these invisible braces; technology that was simply not available when metal braces became the standard of care. Treatment with Invisalign braces usually takes between nine and 18 months. The trays are switched out every two weeks, which means that eighteen to thirty-six pairs of trays will be used.
Why advantages do Invisalign braces have over metal braces?
The most well-known advantage that Invisalign braces brain has already been touched on, and that is the fact that they are inconspicuous to the point of being nearly invisible. However, that is not the only advantage that Invisalign braces bring to the table. Traditional metal braces bring with them a fair amount of pain. This happens because all of the pieces that are needed to straighten the teeth are affixed to the teeth and crowd the mouth. This crowding means that the pieces will rub against the inside of the cheeks and lips. This rubbing create friction which in turn creates painful sores. The sores can make it difficult to eat or even speak. The Invisalign trays, however, are smooth and sit flush against the teeth. Therefore, there is no crowding and no protrusions to rub against the soft tissue and create sores.
It is also easier to maintain proper dental hygiene with Invisalign braces. When you have a traditional metal braces, all of those brackets, bands and wires create the perfect crevices for food particles and bacteria to get caught in. Even with frequent brushing and flossing, it is difficult to get these areas clean. This is not the case with Invisalign braces. The trays are removable. Therefore, when is time for the wearer to brush their teeth or floss, they simply take out the trays and go about the chore as they always have. The process is not made anymore difficult or time-consuming. There is no added risk of serious oral health issues, such as tooth decay or gum disease, developing.

Getting braces has become incredibly common; at least among middle class 1st world countries, getting braces is almost a kind of rite of passage. Since early orthodontic treatment is the best way to treat malocclusion, or misaligned teeth, this is most often when it happens. There is no clear, all-encompassing theory of why teeth don’t grow in straight in all people, but most orthodontic scientists feel it has to do with genetics, meaning none of us have much control over it, at all. For something that we can do nothing to prevent, malocclusion (the medical term for crooked teeth) has a tremendous effect on our psyche, which is why braces have become so common. Although it does present actual functional issues, in some cases, mostly the problem with malocclusion is simply that it makes people afraid to smile, and that puts a serious damper on their self-confidence. Nobody wants to feel embarrassed every time they smile, and certainly nobody wants that for their kids, so people flock to orthodontists by the millions, every year.
But orthodontic treatment has changed quite a bit, over time. As with most medical treatments, it was once much more basic, and primitive, but now has reached a higher level of technological proficiency, and integration with new technologies, like computer software. Especially for adults, who typically would prefer not to have ugly metal braces on their teeth, advances in incognito types of braces have made this a better time to see the orthodontist than has ever been. Even for kids, though, smile correction has made leaps and bounds, and does it’s job better than it ever has, before.
One way that orthodontist’s methods have improved is in the area of diagnostics. The primary method for diagnosing malocclusions is x-ray, and this technology has improved a lot over the years. In olden times, the flat, negative photos that were obtained with x-rays gave the orthodontist only a cursory idea of what was truly going on in your mouth. Now, with conical CT scans, it’s possible for orthodontists to have a much greater level of accuracy and understanding of the bone structure of your teeth, jaw, and lower skull. These scans, which use x-ray to scan in a conical shape, give your orthodontist a 3D computer representation of your skull, that looks like CGI from a movie. With this, they can see exactly what is going on with your teeth, and exactly how best to fix it.
Once an assessment is made, your orthodontist may only find it necessary to treat you with spacers, retainers, or other removable tools, if your malocclusion is not severe enough to warrant braces. However, this is very often not the case, and braces are frequently found to be necessary to give you the smile you really want. Braces use interconnected brackets, which attach to the surfaces of the teeth, to maneuver your teeth into a better, more aesthetically pleasing position. They usually have to be worn for several weeks or months, and periodically adjusted, meaning trips in to see your orthodontist every couple of weeks.
A number of advances have been made in the world of braces, many of them geared towards adults seeking some form of invisible braces, for obvious reasons. Most adults do not prefer to have the same extremely obvious and prominent metal braces worn by children. To address this desire, orthodontic innovators have created several variations on the approach of braces, that doesn’t have such a negative effect on appearance. In some cases, they are very nearly invisible. There are braces who simply use different materials, the most popular being clear and ceramic braces, which blend in better with the teeth, and then there are lingual braces, which hide behind the teeth, by attaching to the backs of the, rather than the fronts. These are all great options, all still just different types of braces.
There’s also another option, that is an alternative to braces, called Invisalign aligners. Aligners are like clear plastic sheaths which fit directly over your teeth, one for the top row, and one for the bottom. They are basically invisible, like a clear laminated layer over your teeth, and have the added convenience of being removable. Invisalign aligners accomplish the same goal as braces, but by surrounding your teeth with a plastic casing, rather than attaching to their surfaces. Each pair of Invisalign aligners is custom printed using scans of your teeth, by your orthodontist. New aligners then have to be printed every 2-3 weeks.

Orthodontics – is it for adults? Braces have always been associated with children and teenagers. It was quite rare to see an adult person wearing braces. It was laughable!
