The rise and rise of invisible braces
The idea that braces were and/or are primarily for kids and adolescents is coming to an end, with an estimated ten million adults in India are now wearing dental braces. Because of the new, buzzy status of braces, greater focus and attention has been given to their appearance. After all, a mouthful of sharp, stainless steel objects is part of the reason why so many adults refused to consider the possibility of braces in the first place. Enter: Invisalign and invisible braces!
Coming in a wide variety of forms, Invisalign and invisible braces are assured to become the go-to standard in new braces technology. You’ve got the already omni-present Invisalign (also known as clear aligners), which are barely noticeable, as well as devices like lingual braces which are hidden behind your teeth. Even metallic braces are becoming sleeker and more comfortable like the Damon Braces, indicating that advances in orthodontics are wiping the slate clear of the old, aesthetic nightmares of traditional braces.
Catching up with accelerated orthodontics
If there’s one thing that prospective brace-wearers always ask before/during treatment, it’s “how long do I have to wear the braces?” And it’s easy to see why. No one wants a piece of dental material in their mouth for years on end, no matter how much patience they might have. This is why accelerated orthodontics is one of the most exciting trends in modern braces around. Studies and cases have proven that the Self- ligating braces have shown to make the treatment quite faster than traditional braces.
Damon brackets or braces also go by the name ‘self-ligating brackets’ while they are also known to eliminate the requirement of the rubber bands for holding the wire in its intact place like in traditional braces. It follows a typical ‘sliding door’ procedure – responsible for holding the wire passively while allowing the wires to move easily, causing minimal friction. Here’s the good news, Our Chief Dentist has found treatment times with Damon braces to have reduced from 6months to almost a year in many of the cases treated than that of most traditional braces require.
