subject: Braces Can Improve Confidence [print this page] I have slightly misaligned front teeth and it makes me more self conscious and introverted. My crooked smile may or may not be glaringly apparent, but still I want it corrected. Fixing my teeth will go a long way towards boosting my confidence, and confidence is an important attribute of successful people.
As an adult, I have no desire for the unsightly aesthetics, or the inconvenience of wearing orthodontic braces. I have been looking for alternative ways to solve my problem.
I read have been learning about cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentists are specialists who deal with the enhancement, correction, and the appearance of a patient's teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, compared to orthodontics, concentrates on the alteration of existing dental features of a patient to increase their aesthetic appeal. The results of these treatments not only improve the visual presentation but also have positive effects in the general well-being of a patient.
Many innovations in orthodontia- such as Invisalign
As the latest innovations enter the market, cosmetic dentistry also improves its technology. Traditionally, crooked teeth were straightened by metal adult braces but recently, one of the brightest alternatives are the Invisalign clear aligners.
These clear aligners are made of strong plastic material preformed to fit a person's mouth without any metal wire. A 3-D computer imaging machine is used to customize a plan that will realign patient's teeth in twelve to twenty-four months.
One of the intriguing aspects of the Invisalign procedure is that it allows you to preview the final positioning of your teeth before the treatment starts. These aligners are extremely effective at correcting interior crowding of the teeth. Mainly, aligners are worn for at least 20 hours a day for maximum effectiveness and changed every two weeks. The duration of the aligners depend on the severity of the dental case, however, much shorter than the old-fashioned metal braces.
Advantages of having these clear aligners include easy removal that entails convenient brushing and flossing after use and after eating. Invisalign aligners also provide comfort and less irritation of the gums. They are also easy to keep clean and very cost effective. Their clear appearance also promotes greater self confidence for patients that are in the process of straightening their teeth.
