Invisalign / Invisible Braces
There is exciting news in the world of braces! If you have poor alignment or crooked teeth, they can be straightened correctly and more comfortably without the old look of 'heavy metal.'
An Orthodontic break-through that first emerged in 2000 is Invisible Braces, featuring a design by Invisalign. This system contains clear, thin, customized mouthguards (aligners) that fit over the teeth to provide progressive straightening. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign mouthguards are removable when eating, brushing or flossing. If you have moderate spacing, crowding of teeth or a slight overlap, you may be a candidate.
Ceramic Braces are another option: their appearance is attractively translucent and only the teeth are visible. Ceramic Braces provide a "crystal mesh safety base" between ceramic brackets - they protect the natural enamel rather than contacting with it.
Both options are good news, for even if you don't qualify for these systems at first, there is an excellent possibility of a switch later on. Soft Touch Family Dental is pleased to provide such viable alternatives. For more information about invisible braces and Invisalign in Salem, call us today!
