Braces used to be unsightly, but these days they are designed and not just plonked onto your teeth for the world to see. The Inman Aligner and the Invisalign Braces are the choice that most people are making these days. The Inman is a clever design in that it isn`t just a brace, but a set of braces. It is an all built in device that allows the wearer the flexibility of controlling the times when they need to wear them. They are used to straighten the front teeth only though, but they do this job really well. It is a clear looking brace with just a thin bar running across the front to show it`s there, unlike the Invisalign Brace which is designed to do the job and look invisible. The Invisalign works on all the teeth both top and bottom, front and back, although neither will work on impacted teeth. The process is a computer designed one, and starts off with a series of digital photos and X-rays being taken, your dentist will also make a mould of your teeth. These are all scanned into the program which then works out all the movement pressures needed to straighten your specific teeth. This information is needed by an orthodontist to make a set of braces. These are replaced every two weeks on your regular visits to the dentist, at the same time you can both see that the progress in motion. This is possible because at the same time of working out all the pressure maths on the program, the computer will also make a 3D film using computer generated imagery. The film will take you through all the stages to show you when and where the misaligned teeth will be as you go along. At the end you will see a still image in 3D of exactly what your new teeth will look like. The flexabilty allows the wearer to take the gum shield style braces out when they are eating and cleaning their teeth, there is a recommended daily time of 20 hours that you will be required to wear them. The time it takes is variable as it will depend on the amount of movement required. The process to move your teeth into a straighter position will also make the blood flow in the gums work in a different way, it allows for new bone deposits to build up behind the teeth, and make sure they stay in their new position for their lifetime.
