Reasons to Get Clear Braces

By Gary Salesbury


Millions of people do not realize they should get their teeth straightened. New technologies in dental equipment are developing in labs every year. People who decide to have their teeth straightened now have another option available: clear braces. There are several benefits that will push people over the edge when deciding to wear braces.

The number one reason people choose this style is because they are clear in colour so no one is able to tell that they are wearing them. Children have always hated wearing the stainless steel type because they would be picked on at school. Now kids will not be called metal mouth on the playground.

Long ago, the stainless steel type had many colours to choose from. However, clear was not one of the colours. For that reason, orthodontists created the invisible style that looks more convenient. The invisible style creates confidence in people who would otherwise be ashamed of wearing braces with colour. Patients feel more comfortable wearing almost invisible type, and dentists have an easier role to persuade the patients to wear the braces for a longer period of their lives.

The invisible mouthpieces are made of a plastic resin that shapes around the teeth. The mouthpiece slides over the teeth instead of gluing on wires. No one will be able to notice the patient is wearing the invisible mouthpiece, unless they tell them. Patients schedule appointments with their dentists every two weeks to get a newly fitted mouthpiece. The invisible style does not use rubber bands or metal parts, unlike the steel style.

Invisible mouthpieces are removable. Brushing teeth is easy since there are no wires to get in the way. Unlike the permanent steel style, the mouthpiece is out during meals, so food does not get stuck in between the braces. The metal braces stick to the teeth permanently until the dentist removes them.

Many adults now wear the near invisible style mouth-guards. Adults can have their teeth getting straightened without anyone noticing that they wear anything over their teeth. With this new technology of choosing the invisible style, more Americans may straighten their smile.

Ever since clear braces hit the market, there has been a dramatic decrease in patients complaining of irritation. Patients who wear the steel style complain about scratches in their mouths and wires poking out. With the new innovation of the mouthpiece, there is no pain to complain about.
