When a person wants to have their teeth aligned, they now have more options than ever before. In the past, individuals were often upset over the fact they had to get braces simply because they did not want to have a mouth full of metal. Now, there are invisible braces in California MD. Invisible braces allow a person to overcome their alignment issues without being ashamed of their smile. With this information, individuals will be prepared for receiving their braces.
Invisible braces received their name because when the clear aligners are against the teeth, they appear practically invisible. The aligners are made specifically for the patient and are constructed of a strong plastic. Those with these conditions can be treated with invisible braces:
1. Gaps
2. Overbite
3. Crossbite
4. Crowding
It is important a person is carefully checked to determine if they will be a good candidate for invisible braces. If the dentist finds them to be a good candidate, the patient will have a special mold made of their mouth. This is then sent to the dental lab so the aligners can be crafted. The aligners must be specifically crafted for the patient so the aligners will be able to move the teeth in place over the treatment period.
The clear aligners are worn for two weeks and then they can be thrown away and a new one put in place. It is important the patient wears the aligners in the order they are told to by their dentist so they will get the best results. These will each be worn in their order so the projected treatment plan can be continued.
Aside from them being clear, many people enjoy wearing these aligners because they can be removed for eating and brushing the teeth, something that cannot be done with traditional braces.
The treatment period for invisible braces in California MD is typically one to two years with most people needing just over a year to see results.
