Invisalign has many benefits over traditional braces. These include the ability to wear them and not be noticed. As the aligners are completely clear, you can attend a meeting or class without your clear aligners being noticed. It is also noted that there is less speech impairment compared to bracket and wire braces. There is also Invisalign Teen that has blue dot technology so parents can keep an eye on the young patients progress.
Another benefit is the ability to remove them easily and painlessly to eat and clean. With traditional braces, the patient would have to avoid certain foods because of potential damage to the brackets and wires. With Invisalign, you can simply pop them out to eat. Just make sure you clean both your teeth and the aligners before putting them back into your mouth!!
Over 8 million people have benefited from Invisalign treatment across the world since its inception. Dr. Hou is an Invisalign provider who has created thousands of beautiful smiles using this wonderful technology.
Damon System is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses gentle force to move the teeth into a natural position. Plus, the gentle movement allows for the patient to go through the full treatment with less discomfort. This type of treatment has been around for 20 plus years and has served to correct over 7 million smiles.
The Damon brand orthodontic treatment uses Self-ligating brackets which are a patented slide mechanism that connects archwires and brackets. This type of device allows the wire to move freely, reducing friction and discomfort. It works much like traditional braces but uses contemporary technology to gently move the teeth.
