Braces. Love them or hate them, they're here to stay. And as time passes there are newer and more efficient ways to get your teeth straight using braces. Gone are the days of wacky head gear, with new technology also comes new braces. Invisalign is a new type of orthodontic or oral appliance, that is used to straighten teeth like braces, only without the need for metal brackets and painful wires. Although in certain cases the metal brackets are unavoidable, depending on the type and severity of your situation, you might be a candidate for Invisalign. The benefit of Invisalign? Like the name suggests, it's somewhat invisible. People won't know you're wearing braces. They fit like retainers would, only they're clear and are molded to your teeth. In the case where you might need metal braces, tiny metal brackets are attached to your teeth and then a wire is run through to hold the brackets in place, "bracing" your teeth towards straightening. Although they can be uncomfortable, the metal braces have become a bit fashionable to some people rather than ugly and disdainful like they have in the past.

Monday, October 27, 2008About BracesOrdinary Braces are very common and made of stainless steel. They are cemented directly to your tooth, and then attached to each other via a metal wire, or an anchor. These wires guide your teeth into place. You can expect to wear them anywhere from 1 to 3 years, but again, time is on a case by case basis. Although they do come in stainless steel, you do have the option for lighter colors of different materials, like plastic or ceramic. The negatives about those types, are they stain easier, and usually it takes longer for your results. However, many believe they look much better than the typical metal, steel look. After treatment, you will have to wear a retainer to keep your smile optimal. Labels: braces

Monday, April 21, 2008Never too late for braces and straight teethThe truth is, it's never too late to get braces. In fact, if you're on the fence about getting braces but feel you're too old to get them, you might want to keep reading. Now a days, adults make up nearly half of orthodontic patients. That's good news for those who feel like getting braces was a "kid" thing. With advances in dental technology as well as medical breakthroughs braces have evolved over the years. Especially now with lightweight and cosmetically friendly options available. Getting braces is more than just straight teeth. Teeth that have a cross bite, or are misaligned have an increased chance of getting plaque buildup, which can lead to an increased chance in getting periodontal and gum disease. And if you aren't chewing and digesting your food properly, it can lead to gastrointestinal problems. Has the idea of getting braces crossed your mind? Maybe it's time you looked into it. My Dentist USA will help you find the perfect dentist and orthodontist for you to help you get started on the smiley, straight teeth you've always wanted. Labels: braces, orthodontics
