The myth that a beautiful smile can only be formed in childhood was dispelled with the advent of new technology, namely the introduction of braces. Obviously, at a young age, bone tissue is much easier to correct, and even the procedures for installing and wearing braces are less painful. In addition, not every adult is ready to dare to demonstrate to colleagues iron braces on their teeth, no matter how much they convince you that it is fashionable and beautiful. There is a way out - these are invisible braces. They are a great alternative to classic systems in orthodontics.
The second name (lingual) invisible braces received from the Latin word Lingua, which means "tongue". The reason is simple - unlike conventional braces, lingual braces are installed on the inner surface of the teeth. If ceramic or sapphire braces are still, though not clearly, but visible, then, accordingly, invisible braces are not visible at all. Only if you have the desire to open your mouth wide and show them to everyone.
Even invisible braces have their flaws. The cost of such a system is an order of magnitude higher than analogues. Complete addiction occursquite quickly, within three weeks, but still uncomfortable to eat, brush your teeth, talk. It is also difficult to clean invisible braces due to the fact that they are located in hard-to-reach places for a brush. You should purchase special brushes and threads. And one more condition - you will have to change the diet: you can not eat solid food, such as seeds, nuts, crackers, you can not drink a lot of sweet drinks, eat chewing gum and gooey sweets. Actually, the doctor will provide a list of nutrition correction. And one more important point: not every orthodontist takes up the installation of lingual systems due to the complexity of the work and lack of qualifications.
But still, invisible braces have more pluses than minuses. These are fast treatment times, high aesthetics, since the system is hidden from others. The absence of allergic reactions is explained by the fact that an alloy of gold is used in the manufacture. The ability to align teeth even in difficult cases, including those with twisted teeth.
Invisible braces the orthodontist will recommend to the client if it is necessary to maintain aesthetics during treatment, a quick time to achieve results and maximum comfort while wearing the system.
At the end of the course of treatment and when the bracket system is removed, the clinic will offer to fix the result in order to avoid a recession. This period, which can last up to two years, is also very important. The patient will be given a choice of removable or non-removable retainers (special orthodontic apparatus). Fixed, like lingual braces, are invisible. Themset from the inside of the dentition.
Remember that a beautiful smile is the key to self-confidence, the key to mutual sympathy and attractiveness to others. Fortunately, now at any age and status it is possible to correct the bite, align the dentition and smile with pleasure.
