We live in a time where you actually have a choice when it comes to your teeth and how you take care of them! If you talk to most people in their 80s today about their teeth, chances are they are going to tell you that they got all of them yanked out when they were just little kids because their parents couldn't afford good care - or none was available! However, now with the way technology is and things are ever changing, we do have medical insurance in order to help us afford coverage and we have willing and able bodied doctors that can fix your teeth for you - pulling them out isn't even an option that doctors give people anymore!
Frankly, I think we should all feel a little lucky about that! One of the newer and most innovative types of ways to fix your teeth as far as crowded teeth, crooked teeth and improper bites goes, is to try something called Invisalign. These are removable braces that are placed over your teeth in order to fix the alignment problems you may be having.
If I had to name a product that these are like I would use the example of a more sophisticate teeth guard. As with anything new and innovative though, people have their questions, as I'm sure you do as well. So what are the advantages and disadvantages of getting these types of braces at an NYC Braces Orthodontist?
Disadvantages:
1. These braces are able to be removed by you and they are not continually correcting the teeth and the roots that hold the teeth in. Unlike to conventional fixed braces, they are mostly pendant on a patients habits and their consistency in wearing the braces. The success of the Invisalign braces will depend on the wearer OF the braces.
2. Unlike traditional braces, if a person grates or clinches their teeth in the daytime or while dormant, the braces can get beaten-up. However, if something like this does happen, a new pair can easily and quickly be re-ordered so it's not THAT big of a deal.
3. Since these braces are made out of polyurethane, it has been noted that in very rare instances there may be an allergic reaction to the toxic sensitivity of the chemicals in the braces. As with ANY medical surgery or process it's always a good idea to tell your Dentist or Orthodontist if you are allergic to anything.
Advantages:
1. One of the biggest reasons these have become so popular, especially with teens and adults, is that they are invisible. No more "metal mouth" jokes. You can just barely tell if someone is wearing these.
2. Depending on where you go and what Brooklyn Invisalign Orthodontist you speak with, most people will agree that these braces are incredibly convenient and easy to use. Remember, it's essential though that you remember to place these back in your mouth after you are done eating, drinking or brushing your teeth.
3. Assuming that you wear these when you are supposed to wear them and you don't forget to put them back in, these braces have been proven to allow your teeth to become straightened quicker than that of a regular option. With Invisalign braces you can have your teeth feeling and looking brand new in around 12-18 months. This is a significant amount of time over the conventional braces which can take three or more years! Also, with conventional braces sometimes additional procedures are needed such as surgery or temporary implants to speed up the process. With Invisalign none of this is needed.
Overall, if you want nicer teeth, and if you want to try out one of the most popular ways of going about this, these Invisalign braces are definitely something you will look into!
