Wearing braces to straighten a bite was a commitment of time, money and appearing in public with a mouthful of wired brackets. For many people that was not a commitment that they are willing to make. For these people there is an alternative method of straightening teeth, 33618 clear braces correct bite problems without traditional braces. The doctors at Sweet Tooth Dentistry are dedicated to providing the residents of this community with the highest quality general, cosmetic, restorative and orthodontic dental care for the entire family.
There have been many different types of orthodontic bite adjustment procedures developed over the past few years and our doctors will conduct a complete evaluation of your mouth to determine which solutions are right for you. Our practice uses 3-D imaging to determine the results of various treatment options; all the details of each applicable option are discussed with you so that you can make an informed decision. 33618 clear braces are the option that is virtually invisible because no metal or thick plastic wires or brackets are placed on the teeth, instead tooth-colored or clear porcelain brackets are used, which are connected using clear plastic “wires.” Clear braces are almost invisible.
Our practice uses the Invisalign system as an alternative to even 33618 clear braces. Invisalign fabricates a custom series of clear plastic trays called aligners specifically for your treatment. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and then replaced by the next aligner in the series until all of them have been used and your teeth are straight. Generally, there are 13 – 48 aligners in the series depending on each particular case. Aside from the invisibility aspect of clear braces, another big advantage that aligners have over traditional braces is that they are removable by the patient. It’s as easy as just taking them out of your mouth. This allows our patients to remove the aligners when they eat and when they brush their teeth. Being able to remove the aligners also makes brushing and flossing much easier and more effective. So, if you’ve been thinking of straightening your teeth and correcting an uneven bite make an appointment with our office to see if clear braces are for right for you.
