Modern Alternatives to Braces for Adults

There was a time when just the thought of getting braces made many people uncomfortable. Getting straight teeth meant wearing awkward metal braces, brightly colored rubber bands and in some cases headgear. All that extra stuff in your mouth would undoubtedly lead to unwanted attention that could hurt your self-esteem. On top of that, treatment time would generally take a few years and consist of regular appointments with your orthodontist that would leave your mouth hurting. The good new is that the days of inconvenient metal braces are over. Modern technology has given us braces options that can appeal to almost anyone.

At Rapid Braces in Brookline we offer a number of more patient-friendly braces alternatives to give you the perfect smile that you’ve always wanted. Dr. Georgaklis realizes the strain that having braces can put on anyone and has done his best to make orthodontic treatment easier for patients of any age. The majority of the patients that he treats are adults who have decided that they can no longer wait for straight teeth. Often they are surprised that undergoing adult orthodontic treatment at Rapid Braces can be completed in 6 months or less and can be done with a number of aesthetically pleasing braces options.

Rapid Braces strives to make getting any type of orthodontic treatment as easy as possible. We offer Invisalign, clear braces and lingual braces that are all designed to be as unobtrusive as possible while wearing them. Invisalign uses clear aligner trays that have to be remolded as your teeth move to straighten your teeth as much as possible. The Invisalign trays can be removed when eating or brushing your teeth and are clear so hardly anyone will notice them. Clear braces use clear brackets and bands so the braces will blend in with your teeth. Lingual braces are put in behind the teeth so they are still able to straighten teeth effectively and cannot be seen from the outside.

More adults are getting braces than ever before with all the aesthetically pleasing braces alternatives and shorter treatment time available at Rapid Braces. Our expert staff strive to make adult orthodontic treatment as easy as possible and will answer any questions you have at an initial consultation. It is also important to remember to not miss any of your scheduled appointments. Dr. G. needs to be able to monitor the progress of your treatment to make any changes so you can have a perfect smile in 6 months or less.

Keep your Mouth Clean while Wearing Invisalign

Wearing Invisalign braces is an excellent way to get a perfect smile but avoid the unwanted attention that comes with having all that metal in your mouth. Invisalign uses clear aligner trays that are worn over the teeth to straighten them out. New aligner trays will have to be made as the Boston Invisalign Treatment progresses until your teeth are as straight as can be. Finishing your Brookline Invisalign Treatment is an exciting step to take for anyone who who has dreamed of a perfect smile. One thing that can ruin the excitement of getting straight teeth is if you didn’t take proper care of your mouth while undergoing the treatment. The following are some helpful tips on how to take care of your smile while wearing Invisalign braces.

Make sure to remove trays when eating or brushing

The big difference between traditional braces and Invisalign is that the clear aligner trays can be taken out when necessary. Taking the trays out when you are eating any food will prevent getting any food stuck in them that can lead to problems down the road. Removing them from you mouth when you are brushing your teeth is important so that you’ll be able to clean all the hard-to-reach places as well.

Maintain normal brushing habits

Undergoing Boston Invisalign Treatment doesn’t mean that you have to change the frequency of your brushing at all. It is essential that you brush your teeth at least two times a day to keep your mouth healthy.

It is also a good idea to swish some water around your mouth after eating any carbohydrates, like sugar and starch, so that they aren’t left on your teeth. Having extra food on your teeth when you put the clear aligner trays back on will lead to tooth decay.

Clean your trays

Even if you take your Invisalign trays out every time you eat they will still get dirty. Regularly cleaning your trays out will keep them in from getting filled with bacteria. There are a number of ways to clean the trays that Dr. G is happy to go over with any of his patients.

If you are able to follow the suggestions above you’ll be able to finish Boston Invisalign Treatment at Rapid Braces with a perfect smile. Rapid Braces offers a number of different braces options and our unique 6 month braces treatment plan so patients can finish treatment sooner. Call today to learn more about how you can get straight teeth in 6 months or less.
