In this blog I’m going to discuss what are invisible braces? Why invisible braces ? what are the advantages over conventional braces?
Invisible braces are braces made of clear transparent material ( like night guard or bleaching tray) which gets adapted gently over the teeth. These set of trays are supposed to be worn for almost a fortnight and then switched to next set until the teeth gets aligned to a specific position as desired. These are custom made for each patient and subsequent trays are made according to specialized software that predicts the exact movement of teeth in which the next set of trays will fix. Invisible braces has a snug attachment over gums.
ADVANTAGES OF INVISIBLE BRACES OVER TRADITIONAL BRACES :
Invisible braces as the name suggest though not completely but are very less conspicuous to someone from a distance unlike metal or ceramic braces.
Invisible braces are removable, but it should be worn for atleast 22 hours a day and should only be removed while having food and during brushing.
Invisible braces can be maintained in much better way since it can be removed. And unlike metallic braces or even ceramic ones they tend to accumulate less food particles or debris around them.
Since these invisible braces fits smoothly around the gums hence less cuts and bruises when compared to metallic braces.
Treatment with invisible braces completes faster though it depends on case to case.
CARE DURING THE INVISIBLE BRACES TREATMENT :
The aligners should be worn for atleast 20- 22 hours a day.
Anything too hot should never be consumed with aligners still inside the mouth.
Brush the aligners daily to keep it clean from any debris.
Keep aligners in a box provided to prevent it from getting dirty.
