What are Invisible Braces

                                 

     

 Many patients of ours ask the question, "What are invisible braces, and how are they different than regular braces?"  This is an excellent question! Here is the answer to that question, invisible braces are braces that will straighten your teeth with clear material and transparent material.  Friends, families, and peers will notice LESS that you are straightening your teeth.  Therefore, you may still hold the confidence by masking the fact that you have braces with ceramics or plastics, rather than showing the more obvious metal brackets on your teeth

Invisible Braces come in two forms.  Clear aligner trays and Tooth Colored brackets.

So let's go over some points on clear aligners (Invisalign and Clear Corrrect).

1. It is made of a plastic material that covers each arch of your mouth
2. removable so they're easy to clean
3. patient must be motivated to wear the trays at all times, except when eating and cleaning
4. much less noticeable than metal brackets
5. not bulky
6. change for a new set of trays every 2-3 weeks

What about Tooth colored brackets such as Six Month Smiles?

1. its is a ceramic bracket that directly bonds to the enamel of the teeth
2. they are bonded to the teeth so you can't forget them anywhere
3. may be more efficient for difficult tooth movements because a wire is used
4. less noticeable than metal brackets 
5. patient must be motivated to clean the teeth because food can get stuck
6. may provide faster results

Invisible braces are an excellent choice when wanting have a dazzling smile.  Consult with your dentist and/or orthodontist to see if you are a candidate for either clear aligners or tooth colored brackets.  For more information on invisible braces, please visit our webpage http://aviondental.com/chino-hills-clear-braces.html
