Invisalign® is a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that eliminates the use of traditional metal brackets and wires. This process is comfortable and convenient, allowing patients to eat, drink, brush, and floss as they normally would. Treatment is effective and proven in clinical research and orthodontic practices nationwide. A certified dentist is necessary to undertake the procedure, and patients will wear a set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Total treatment time averages 11 months with the average number of aligners worn during treatment between 18 and 30. The Invisalign System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics.
Dental flossing is crucial for cleaning between teeth, where toothbrushes cannot reach. Parents are advised to floss their children's teeth until they are around 10 years old, and able to floss by themselves. To make flossing easier, there are several innovative tools such as flossing wands available. When flossing, use an adequate amount of floss, gently guide it between the teeth, see-saw through the contact, and slide it along the sides of both teeth. Floss in a predictable order, such as starting from the upper right, going around the upper arch, and then moving to the bottom, going in order on that arch as well. Regular flossing can help prevent dental complications.
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on correcting improper bites and tooth irregularity. Orthodontists can help patients of any age improve tooth and jaw problems and can also assist those who desire cosmetic improvements. Orthodontics has a rich history, dating back to as early as 1000 B.C. Today, orthodontists use various methods to correct dental problems such as dental braces, headgear, expansion appliances, and retainers. Orthodontic treatments can last from six months to several years, depending on the patient's specific problems. Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing but also easier to clean and help in biting, chewing, and speaking effectively.
