Most of us know what traditional braces are and how they work. Overtime, different sized wires are applied to slowly straighten out teeth after many months of doing so. This is not how people get straighter teeth with invisible braces. Brooksville residents should know that invisible braces are a great option to consider if you do not like the idea of wearing traditional braces. Invisible braces are a lot less noticeable than regular braces, but they still have to be worn all day in order to have the same lasting effect. Here is a bit more information on how invisible braces work to help reshape and align our teeth.
How do Invisible Braces Straighten Teeth?
Many people have mixed ideas in their mind of how invisible braces work. To begin with, most people would be better off understanding retainers as invisible braces. Brooksville residents might have seen them on TV before, but essentially invisible braces work by slowly adjusting the invisible braces over time. In terms of routers, this would mean adding tighter and tighter retainers in order to help encourage them to straighten out. Some people might think that invisible braces are clear braces and wires, but this is not true, and not really what dental or orthodontic professionals have in mind when discussing invisible braces with their patients.
What Happens If Someone Uses the Same Set of Invisible Braces?
One of the more common questions that an individual has about getting new invisible braces is what if they never upgrade their invisible braces? Brooksville residents need to be aware that if they want to see improvements with alignment, they are going to have to change out their invisible braces in regular intervals. What may happen is that teeth will no longer move or shift because there is no force that is making them change, as they have already gotten used to the shape of your current invisible braces. Because invisible braces look a lot like retainers, many people think they are used as such, but this is not true in most instances.
