Invisible Braces
Unseen Braces For Your Teeth
Invisible Braces have provided a solution to many people’s dilemma about getting braces.
Braces are used to correct a lot of dental problems. However, a lot of people hesitate before getting braces because of aesthetic reasons. Having all those metals in your mouth does not really make a pretty sight especially if your appearance is important to your job or lifestyle.
This is where invisible braces some in. These braces, as implied, cannot be seen, so you can wear them and correct dental problems without worrying about how your braces will affect your daily life and your appearance.
This special orthodontic treatment, though unseen, can produce highly visible results.
One popular option when you’re looking for unseen braces is Invisalign. Invisalign is ideal for straightening misaligned teeth using clear molds made of plastic, which are called aligners. These are impossible for others to detect and are extremely comfortable for the patient.
If you are interested in getting braces, do consider getting invisible braces. This is a great option that can eliminate a lot of problems you usually encounter with traditional braces.
To help you make the decision, here are some of the important things you should know about clear, hidden braces.
The Facts
A few important facts to consider under invisible braces include:
- How Do Clear Braces Work?
- What Unseen Braces Can Do For You
- Costs in Getting Hidden Braces
- Some Downsides to Hidden Braces
1. How Do They Work?
Clear braces such as Invisalign are clear plastic molds formed from the bite impressions of your teeth.
To create the Invisalign braces, your dentist will take your bite impressions and use computer imaging to come up with the molds. The braces are clear, 3D molds that are placed on your teeth to guide them to the right positioning. They mostly look like retainers and work by placing pressure gently but steadily on your teeth without the need for metal braces.
Each complete set of invisible braces is called a tray. Trays can be made for both the upper and the lower set of teeth, and both are removable. Usually, in the case of Invisalign braces, the molds can be used for around two weeks before they are replaced.
The braces will have to be removed and replaced with a new set until the desired effects are achieved. When worn, however, the braces should stay on the teeth for 24 hours every day.
2. What They Can Do For You
These unseen braces promise a lot of benefits, the first and most important of which is that you can correct any dental problems such as misaligned teeth or improve the appearance of your teeth without anyone noticing.
The Invisalign braces are also highly helpful for adults who need to get braces; in such cases, the adults are usually apprehensive about getting braces for around a couple of years due to how it will affect their lifestyle. This is why clear braces are more widely used in adult orthodontics than in dental bracing for kids.
Invisible braces are also more ideal for the overall care of the teeth. Adults with Invisalign can simply remove the braces for a while to brush their teeth and floss the way they usually do. This is not possible with traditional braces.
These unseen braces also do not intrude into the patient’s eating preferences and habits. Patients with traditional braces are often limited or restricted from eating certain types of food. This, however, is not the case with hidden braces, which allows patients to remove the braces when they need to.
3. Costs
These unique braces are expectedly more costly than traditional ones. The Invisalign system, to be more specific, can cause a price hike reaching up to around 20% or even 50% more than the price of traditional braces.
However, the exact price of the clear braces will vary depending on each individual case. Just like in traditional braces, the costs may increase depending on how much treatment is necessary or how long the entire procedure may take in the long term basis. The length of treatment time will determine how many clear braces will be used, which will naturally determine the price of the entire treatment.
4. Some Downsides
There are, of course, some drawbacks to watch out for and factor into your decision.
First, as mentioned earlier, Invisalign braces are temporary. Unlike traditional braces which are connected to your teeth and adjusted from time to time, Invisalign braces need full replacement after every two weeks.
This can be quite a hassle since the time it takes to correct dental problems with hidden braces is the same as when traditional braces are used.
Invisible Orthodontics and Dental Plans
Invisible braces, though they deviate from traditional braces, are still considered as orthodontics, so most dental plans or insurance programs will already provide coverage for such a treatment.
These can be rather expensive, but your dental plan can help you achieve the great-looking perfectly aligned teeth you’ve always wanted at lower costs and without causing any changes to your appearance and lifestyle.
