During the past few decades, high-tech advancements have transformed the existing orthodontic technology and treatments, resulting in more patient-friendly, discreet, and beneficial bracket systems. Clear braces have been introduced that can be customized to match the tooth’s natural color, making treatments more appealing to adults. The recently introduced Invisalign systems allow moving teeth without any braces. Moreover, archwires used to straighten teeth nowadays are comfortable to wear and require less time to fix the product than traditional braces. A couple of major advancements that are speeding up the dental misalignment treatment are mentioned below.
Invisalign Orthodontic Technology
In the Invisalign treatment option, patients wear a series of clear, removable orthodontic aligners that are adjusted as the teeth shift into place without metal or wires. Treatment with these braces requires fewer visits to orthodontists for adjustments and makes cleaning the teeth easier than traditional braces during the treatment process.
Digital X-Rays with Planmeca ProMax 3D
This technology offers patients three-dimensional imaging and panoramic views of their bite and teeth alignment. Planmeca ProMax 3D scans are extremely safe for patients; the procedures involve using the Planmeca Ultra Low Dose imaging protocol, which enables imaging with an even lower effective patient dose than standard 2D panoramic imaging. The patients undergoing treatments involving the Digital X-Rays with Planmeca ProMax 3D systems experience improved comfort and rapid image-gathering process than ProMax 2D offers.
Clarity Advanced Ceramic Clear Braces from 3M Technologies
3M Technologies offers Clarity ADVANCED Ceramic Clear Braces. This clear bracket system gives amazing results with minimal visibility of the appliance during the treatment. Clear brackets from 3M offer superior adhesive strength to keep brackets strong and fixed during the treatment; the adhesive strength is coupled with a debonding agent that makes removing brackets easy and safe after treatment.
