Invisalign
Braces and Justin Bieber
Teen Idol, Justin Bieber is
improving his smile and most of his fans have no idea! That is because
Justin is using clear removable aligners called “Invisalign” to move his teeth.
These clear removable aligners have
been available for over 10 years now, but recently have become the biggest news
for Teens looking for an alternative to unsightly metal braces.
Teen Invisalign is a fabulous option to those patients who want straight
teeth but are not willing and able to wear metal braces. The clear
aligners are worn about 22 hours a day and removed only for eating and brushing
your teeth.
Unlike traditional metal braces,
they do not require any dietary restrictions or any special tools to keep your
teeth clean. You simply remove them to eat what you want and brush your
teeth like you normally do and then put your aligners back on.
Another huge benefit is that they
typically require fewer visits to the Orthodontist, and because there are no
wires to move around, you have no problems with wires sticking your cheeks or
braces coming off your teeth and irritating your lips.
The aligner’s move the teeth in a
prescribed way based on the treatment plan your doctor put together. You
change your aligners every 2 weeks. Each set is moving the teeth about ¼
of a millimeter. The discomfort is minimal compared to traditional
braces.
If you play contact sports, they
also can protect your teeth from being injured during practice or a game.
Like Justin Bieber, many teens want
to have straight beautiful teeth, but do not want to have “metal mouth” as
their new nickname.
Teen Invisalign is logical choice
that will deliver results as good as or even better than traditional braces.
The good news is that you do not
have to be a “Teen Idol” to have Invisalign. The cost of Invisalign is about the same as metal braces and if you have
orthodontic insurance, it will cover Teen Invisalign.
justin was wearing Invisalign on the red carpet at the Brit Awards on Tuesday. I wonder why he didn’t just put them on after. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.
Invisalign invisible braces are an alternative to traditional metal braces. They consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place.
