ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX: DENTAL BRACES, INVISALIGN WICHITA FALLS TX
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT You’re not going to believe this. My neighbor needs to
get braces. ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Why is this
hard to believe? WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT He’s an adult.
He is an adult and needs braces. ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Then it is good
that he will get them. To have an attractive smile, a person’s teeth really need to be
properly aligned. It is absolutely stunning how a person’s appearance improves after
their teeth are straightened. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT Really?
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Not only that, there can also be serious health reasons to
straighten teeth too. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT Really?
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Poorly aligned teeth tend to wear faster than normal. They
can be more prone to cavities. And they can cause a poor bite that creates all kinds of
problems. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT I am sure you
are right. He’s just really embarrassed about the idea of wearing metal braces like
some thirteen year old. ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Oh. That. I
do understand. But your neighbor needs to know there is another way to straighten teeth
that isn’t embarrassing. It is called Invisalign. ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX What?
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Invisalign. The truth is, many more adults are straightening
their teeth today than ever before. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT Are teeth in general
more crooked than ever before? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX No. But now
they can straighten their teeth with no one knowing they're straightening their teeth.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT How do they keep it a secret? Oh. Invisalign?
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Right. Invisalign are much less aggressive types of braces than
conventional metal braces. It is a nearly invisible clear plastic liner that fits over
the teeth like a very thin plastic mouth guard. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT That is cool.
Did I ever tell you that I wanted to be invisible when I was young?
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX I did not know that.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT I thought if I concentrated really hard, I could make myself
disappear. I haven’t tried for years. I will try now. I’m concentrating really hard.
(Pause) WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT There. Did it
work? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX My goodness.
Where did you go? Pause. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT It didn’t work,
did it? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Not so much.
Listen, I can’t make you invisible, but I can straighten teeth so practically no one
will know. Plus straightening teeth with Invisalign is much cleaner than with metal braces.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT Cleaner? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX With traditional
metal braces, food particles get caught in the wires.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT And I bet metal braces make it harder to brush and floss food
away. ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX You win that
bet. Patients with metal braces have a greater tendency to get tooth decay because teeth
are harder to clean. You can sometimes end up with gum disease, or even root canals if
the patient is not taking extra care about cleaning teeth while wearing braces. But with
Invisalign, the clear liners are removable. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT You can take
them out? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX You take them
out when you eat and when you floss and brush your teeth.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT That is fantastic. ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Invisalign is
not just for grown-ups. Teenagers can use them too.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT Great idea. Someone who is fifteen or sixteen years old doesn’t
want to look like a little kid wearing braces either. Teenagers are very self-conscious.
I was. Did I mention I wanted to be invisible? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX We actually
have something called Invisalign Teen that we can use for teenagers. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL
PATIENT Can children use Invisalign? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Yes, but we
usually use metal braces on them. That is partly because many children aren't that disciplined
to wear Invisalign all the time. WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT So which works
better on people? Metal braces or invisalign? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX They each work
really well. But not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign. If your teeth are extremely
crooked or your bite is severely mis-aligned, you are better off with metal braces. But
it really takes a specially trained dentist or orthodontist to make that decision.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT But if you have a choice, is one faster?
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Every case is different, but Invisalign seems to be faster
in most cases. When you come into the dentist office, special measurements are taken of
your teeth. You also choose how you want your final smile to look, and all this information
is sent to the special Invisalign lab where computers individually design the plastic
liners for each patient.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT That sounds very cool.
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX They create a series of liners that you wear one after
another, each gently moving your teeth a little bit more than the last one.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT That sounds very cool.
ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Invisalign tends to work faster because instead of dentist
bending wires and seeing if it will move the tooth into the desired position, the Invisalign
liners are all pre-set to move the teeth step by step in a very predictable manner.
WICHITA FALLS DENTAL PATIENT Fantastic. Who knew something you barely can see could be
so great? ORTHODONTIST WICHITA FALLS TX Remember, crooked
teeth can create serious problems for your health. Visit your orthodontist or dentist
