Invisible Braces,
also known as Lingual Braces are a great option
for those who want straight teeth and a beautiful
smile without showing any dental braces.
Invisible braces
are placed behind the teeth so no one can see them.
Now you can have the smile you always wanted both
quickly and without anyone knowing you are wearing
dental braces.
This advanced method makes
lingual orthodontics particularly well-suited for
adults, who often want to improve the look and function
of their teeth without letting anyone else know
about their dental treatment.
Crooked teeth
are very common and they can cause gum disease due to
the difficulty in cleaning them. This problem is mostly
inherited i.e. they exist at birth and some are acquired
i.e. due to bad habits of a child. Acquired irregular
teeth are caused by thumb or finger sucking, tongue thrusting,
bad lip and tongue habits, mouth breathing due to tonsils
or adenoids, nail biting, premature loss of primary or
permanent teeth.
Flared and protruding upper anterior teeth are often found in children with thumb sucking habits. They can also be present without finger habits due to abnormal growth or eruption of these teeth. Some kind of orthodontic treatment is needed to move this teeth back not only for esthetic and self esteem reasons but also to protect them from injury in the case of a fall. Many kids with protruding teeth also have chipped anterior teeth due to trauma.
There are certain habits and some jaw growth patterns that can produce this orthodontic problem where the front teeth don't overlap each other. The biggest problem with this is the inability to cut through food with the front teeth. Depending on the origin of the open bite (harmful habit, dental , or skeletal) a different orthodontic and or surgical approach may be needed.
