Correction of malaligned teeth without braces

INVISIBLE ALIGNERS

Everybody wants a perfect smile with beautifully aligned teeth. But sometimes to do that you need orthodontic correction of teeth. Many patients specially adults shy away from braces because of various factors. Now-a-days it is possible to correct the alignment of teeth without the traditional metal wires and braces. It is done by using Invisalign/ Invisible aligners.

They are not like traditional braces. There are no wires, brackets or elastics. Invisible braces are a series of removable clear aligners that move the teeth like traditional braces. These aligners are customized individually for the patients according to their treatment plan. The aligners are changed for every 2 weeks to get the desired result.

Advantages of Invisible braces over traditional braces-

·         No metal – These clear aligners replace the metal wires and brackets so no metal is visible during the treatment. Most people won’t know that you are having orthodontic treatment. So patients feel more confident socially and at the workplace. 

·         Comfort – If for any reason, the wearer of teeth aligners wishes to remove them for brief periods of time (to eat or drink), he or she may easily do so.
          Diet - There is no restrictions in diet but in traditional braces sticky and hard foods to be avoided.
·         Less chances of caries- The brackets of conventional braces can often have plaque buildup that results in caries. Clear aligners do not cause any caries in teeth.

·         Better gum health- Invisible braces allow you to brush and floss teeth normally. So the patient has healthy gums and teeth as compared to the traditional braces that make gums sore and are difficult to clean.

·         Duration of treatment- The time taken to complete the treatment with Invisalign is less than the duration of traditional braces.

Thus, the treated deciduous tooth will be functional until it is replaced by the permanent tooth.
