Invisible Aligners – What Can You Expect from Them?

 

How can affordable invisible aligners change the way you smile? Why should you choose this option instead of conventional metal braces? These are just some of the many questions dentists get from patients who are interested in using invisible aligners to improve their smile. Are you one of them? Here are all the basics you need to know:

 

An invisible way to fix teeth misalignment

 

Affordable invisible aligners are designed to correct crooked teeth in the most discreet way. Compared to metal braces, invisible aligners are less noticeable. It’s a good option for patients who want to fix their teeth but are embarrassed to wear metal braces for some reason or another.

 

Fixes most types of misalignments

 

Like metal braces, affordable invisible aligners can effectively solve different teeth alignment issues like crossbites, edge-to-edge bites, excessive overbites, crowding, spacing, open bites, deep bites, and midline shifts. 

 

A less restrictive option

 

Because invisible aligners can be removed any time (unlike metal braces), you can enjoy eating all kinds of food. You won't have to worry too much about food getting stuck in the brackets, either. Eating, brushing, and flossing will be a breeze.

 

Invisible aligners are also less painful and more comfortable to wear compared to metal braces. You won't suffer from constant cuts or abrasions because there are no metal brackets.

 

Every treatment plan is customized

 

After all, every patient has unique needs. Dental clinics customizes clear aligners according to the unique and personal requirements to ensure proper fit. The process starts with a consultation and dental examination, followed by a 3D digital scan. The dentist then sends your custom treatment scan to a digital fabrication facility and then to the production facility. This is where the sequence of aligners is made. The completed clear aligners are then sent to the dentist and the delivered to you!

 

 

 

Dental Deep Cleaning – Deep Cleaning for Healthy and Hygienic Teeth

 

Did you know that brushing and flossing are not enough to ensure a lifetime of good oral health? A regular professional tooth cleaning is also necessary, on top of dental deep cleaning in some cases!

 

What is this treatment and why should you get it?

 

Dental deep cleaning is the short term for periodontal scaling and root planning. It’s different from regular cleaning in many ways.

In a routine cleaning, the hygienist or dentist only cleans and polishes the outer surface of the teeth. Butwhen you undergo a deep cleaning procedure, the tartar and plaque buildup on your teeth, gum line, and on the surface are also removed!

 

Dental deep cleaning is often recommended for patients with gum disease. Scaling and root planing are needed when the pockets are large or 5 mm deep. Scaling is performed using special dental instruments including an ultrasonic scaling tool. The procedure removes plaque from the surface of the crown and root. It also involves application of antimicrobial agent below the gum to reduce oral bacteria. Meanwhile, root planing removes cementum and surface dentin which comes with bacteria and toxins. 

 

Benefits of dental deep cleaning

 

Stops the progression of gum diseases

 

The space between the gums and teeth will continue to widen if the disease is not properly treated. This can lead to major problems like weakening of bones and teeth loss. If you already have gum disease, deep cleaning can stop it from further advancing.

 

Eliminate bad breath

 

Plaque buildup, cavities and gum disease are the primary causes of bad breath. Through this treatment, you can finally do away with this embarrassing problem.

 

Improve smile

 

Tartar and plaque sitting below the gumline are often visible and may make you feel conscious when smiling or talking. Scaling and root planning removes them from the teeth so you can smile more confidently!
