Invisible Aligners / Braces
Misaligned teeth is a problem for nearly 9 out of 10 people. In many cases it aggravates the risk of dental illness, while in others it may even lead to speech impairment. But at the very least, they are a killer of your beautiful smile. The orthodontic industry today is well-equipped to align your teeth correctly to free you from dental hurdles. And if you are someone who would like to take this treatment subtly, Trident Dental Clinic can offer you a state-of-the-art solution – invisible braces and aligners!
What Are Invisible Braces?
Just like regular braces, invisible braces are used to reposition your teeth so that they do not overlap or have too much space between them. Invisible braces are made of clear materials keeping in mind the aesthetic factor. They remain nearly invisible to others, so that you can go about your day in social and work life without worrying about judgy eyes.
What Are The Different Types Of Invisible Braces?
Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are just like traditional metal braces, but instead they are made of composite materials. They have nearly the same pearly color as a real tooth. Even though they are not actually invisible, they do not strike out when you smile and you can pretty much get away without looking too juvenile. However, they are not as sturdy as metal ligatures and just like natural teeth, they are prone to staining. If you can maintain them well, they can align your teeth faster than other invisible braces.
Lingual Braces: Lingual braces are the same as metal braces, but instead of the front of the teeth, they are installed at the back. So, they remain completely invisible to others. However, they are a bit difficult to maintain and are often reported to be irritating to the tongue.
Invisible Aligners: Invisible aligners or clear braces are the most popular among adults these days. They are removable braces which you can remove whenever you feel uncomfortable or have to attend an important event. They are custom-made for your teeth and you are required to remake a new set every month until you have achieved your teeth alignment goals. They are made of clear material that remains nearly invisible to others. They are also the most comfortable among all kinds of invisible braces – they are not abrasive to your mouth. And since they are removable, you can easily take care of your oral hygiene and the braces and feel fresh throughout the day!
Are Invisible Braces Safe And Efficient?
Invisible braces are just as safe and efficient as their metal counterparts but with much better aesthetics. Just like any other braces, they are a little uncomfortable to wear, but are in no way painful. Depending on the severity of your teeth’s misalignment, they can take somewhere between 12-18 months to show satisfactory results. Do note, in case of removable braces, the longer you wear them, the faster you can see results. The alignment you achieve from wearing invisible aligners is permanent.
