Clear Aligners And Invisible Braces – The New Normal!

Being updated never goes out of style. In this ever-changing and challenging lifestyle, with new innovations surrounding us on a daily basis, keeping ourselves updated and well-read becomes the need of the hour.

When it comes to the teeth-straightening journey (the journey of orthodontics), a lot has changed for the better. Starting with conventional metal braces, which have been the least favourite of all teenage school-going children who have eagerly waited for the day to get rid of their braces post-treatment. Now with clear aligners, they can continue their journey towards a beautiful smile with ease and confidence.

Disadvantages of Conventional Braces!

Conventional braces had a lot of issues like food lodgement, food restrictions (hard and sticky foods were not allowed), poking wires, and fixed wires to the teeth, causing discomfort.

Moving Towards Change!

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, new innovations came and took over. Some of the advancements in braces treatment are:

1. Ceramic Braces

To beat the aesthetic part of conventional metal braces, tooth-colored (ceramic) braces were introduced. These are aesthetic, but the problem of food restriction and their being fixed to teeth persisted.

2. Lingual Braces

These were introduced based on the ideology of being less visible from outside as they are placed inside the tooth. However, maintaining oral hygiene with such a fixed wire and brace on the inner side is comparatively difficult.

3. Self-locking braces: Damon Braces (no elastics, faster system).

The biggest advantage of these being less visible than conventional braces is that food gets stuck in the wire and brace, making it difficult to keep it clean. 

However, a paradigm shift in the field of orthodontics occurred with the introduction of clear aligners (Invisalign). These are considered as the best braces treatment in Delhi and other states
