Over the past ten years, the face of orthodontics has really turned on its head. Patients now have access to treatments that were basically impossible just a few years back. We see a lot of folks come into our office pretty fed up with teeth that have been bothering them for years, but they have been putting off treatment because they were worried about how traditional metal braces would look and how much hassle they would be. The development of clear orthodontic solutions that are almost impossible to spot has made it possible for people who want to straighten their teeth without the social or professional headaches that come with traditional orthodontic tools.
The idea behind clear orthodontic treatment is to use a series of custom made, crystal clear appliances that snugly fit over your teeth to get them into position. These little devices are made using the most advanced computerized measurements and manufacturing techniques to ensure they fit perfectly and apply just the right amount of pressure. Each one is just a stepping stone towards your final goal. Most people use each set for about 2 weeks before moving on to the next one. InBrace® is a behind-the-teeth system that straightens teeth without visible brackets or wires. It’s an ideal choice for adults seeking a hidden orthodontic solution.
These modern systems let us offer really successful orthodontic treatment by using comprehensive treatment planning. We use the latest imaging equipment to get a super detailed picture of the positions of your teeth, the structures of their roots and the bone surrounding them. That information goes into advanced software that figures out exactly what movements need to happen to get the best alignment possible, while keeping the bite working just right and the long term stability. Its a pretty slick operation.
When you come in for an appointment, we take a good hard look at your teeth alignment problems and talk through your aesthetic goals and lifestyle factors. We consider things such as just how bad the crowding or spacing is, whether you have any rotated teeth, how your bite is affecting your treatment and any functional problems that could get in the way. Putting everything together like this means we can create a treatment plan that addresses every single one of your dental alignment issues. From metal to ceramic and lingual braces, there are several options to fit your needs and lifestyle. Learn more about the different types of braces and which one is right for you.
Most of the time, patients get used to wearing these orthodontic devices inside of a week or so of starting treatment. Most people find that chewing and talking seem normal again pretty quick. However, we do recommend taking the devices out when you eat to prevent them getting damaged and to keep your mouth clean. The good news is that because they are almost invisible, you can keep on going with your life during treatment, without having to worry about how you look.
In Miramar, clear aligners teeth is a pretty straightforward way of saying discreet, effective orthodontic care that fits in with busy adult lifestyles. This method is popular because it can bring great results while letting patients keep their professional look and social comfort during the treatment process.
We check on your progress with regular sessions where we look at how your teeth are moving and hand out your next set of aligners. During these visits, we can also check on your dental health, run through any problems that come up and change your treatment schedule if we need to. Most patients can start to see that their teeth are getting straighter within the first few months of treatment.
At Specialty Smiles, weve helped hundreds of patients with clear aligner therapy over the years, from simple spacing corrections to some pretty complicated cases where teeth needed to be moved a fair way. From what weve seen, educating patients on their treatment and making sure they use their devices as directed are two of the key factors in getting the best results and the most satisfied patients.
During orthodontic treatment, it is super important to pay extra attention to oral cleanliness to make sure your teeth move properly and problems dont occur. We give you a step by step guide on how to clean your aligners in a way that keeps your teeth healthy for the whole treatment duration.
In Miramar, clear aligners teeth represent that perfect blend of cutting edge orthodontic science and patient centred care. They provide adults with a way to get straight, correctly aligned teeth without having to change their lifestyle or appearance during the treatment process.
