A great website, and it was
also a pleasure meeting you in Boston at the Invisalign course. I will
be sending you something in the mail about my clinic in Jerusalem.
What is Invisalign? Invisalign can help you get the great smile you've always
wanted because it's... Invisible, so no one can tell you're
straightening your teeth. So now you can smile more during treatment as
well as after.
Removable So you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.
Comfortable Because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during
treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in
your doctor's office getting adjustments.
Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual
treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth
will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign is the invisible
way to straighten your teeth without braces, aided by computer imagery
uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth
without metal wires or brackets. Invisalign has been proven effective
in clinical research.
How Does Invisalign Work? You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them
only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Each set of aligners, move the
teeth about 0.25 millimeters per aligner. As you replace each aligner
with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little,
week by week - until they have straightened to the final
position. You'll visit Dr. Fulop-Goodling about once every 6 weeks to
ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment
time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn
during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to
case.
How Are Aligners Made?
The aligners are made through a combination of your
orthodontist's or dentist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging
technology. (click here to learn more about how technology plays a
vital role in the Invisalign® process Invisalign distinct advantage to
give you the great smile you have always wanted:
Invisible: No one can tell you are straightening your teeth. So now you can smile more DURING treatment as well as after.
Removable: You can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.
Comfortable: There is no metal to cause mouth abrasions during
treatment. And no metal and wires means you spend less time in your
doctor's office getting adjustments.
There are also six major factors in why oral hygiene
is improved Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment
plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look
when you treatment is complete.
1. May reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease when compared to wire braces that trap food and plaque.
2. Visit dentist only 1x every 6 weeks
3. Is usually faster than conventional braces
4. No metal braces
5. In most cases the aligners are doing multiple
tooth movements simultaneously. Commonly, in conventional bracketing,
some movements get ignored until another movement is completed by the
current mechanics
6. Work usually completed in 15 months conventional braces takes on the average of 2 years
Dentistry has moved beyond just treating the teeth
and oral cavity. They can now give patients beautiful faces and
alleviate a multitude of medical problems. Braces for AdultsOptions
available: Metal braces: made of high-grade stainless steel and
attached to the front of teeth, are the most common. Some patients may
complain about discomfort from metal brackets rubbing against the skin.
If you experience any pain or discomfort, ask your dentist or
orthodontist for some dental wax to place over the brackets.
Clear ceramic braces: worn on the
front of the teeth just like traditional steel braces. Unlike metal
braces, they blend with the color of the teeth for a much less
noticeable appearance. They may look better but also may break more
easily than metal braces.
Invisible braces: series of clear,
customized, removable appliances called aligners. Not only are these
braces invisible, but they also are removable so they won't trap food
and plaque between your teeth like metal braces. You'll wear each
aligner for about two weeks and only remove it for eating, brushing and
flossing. This may be an option for individuals with mild spacing
problems
The latest reports indicate that 25% of all
individuals or 1 million adults wear braces. Benefits of braces for
adults: Reduce decay and gum disease due to crowding and other
benefits, including:
1. Relieve headaches and earaches
2. Improve speaking, biting or chewing problems
3. Prevent or improve TMD troubles
How do I adjust to life with braces? You probably will experience some discomfort or difficulty
speaking or eating at first. While wearing braces, keep your teeth and
brackets clean. If you wear cemented, non-removable braces, food and
plaque can get trapped between teeth and gums. To reduce your risk of
cavities, follow a regimen of brushing, flossing and rinsing, and
reduce your consumption of sweets and carbohydrates. Plaque and sugar
combine to make acid, which can cause decalcification (white spots) on
teeth and tooth decay if left behind.
Which foods should I avoid? It's a good idea not to eat foods that can damage or dislodge
braces. Hard foods such as candy, raw carrots, corn on the cob,
pretzels, nuts, popcorn and crushed ice are off limits. Sticky foods to
avoid include caramel, taffy and gum. These foods can get stuck between
teeth and gums or bend wires and knock bands or brackets loose. If this
results in damage to braces, treatment may be extended.
Do I need to see my dentist during orthodontic treatment? Yes. Remember that going to the orthodontist is not a
substitute for regular dental checkups. If you're going to invest time
and financial resources in a healthy smile, be prepared to go the
distance to achieve results. That means you should consult your dentist
for a schedule that's appropriate for you. No matter your age, it is
never to late to improve your dental health and beautify your smile
Since braces are being worn by more adults.
