How long does it take to straighten your teeth withn clear aligners ?

It depends, would be the honest answer, as every person is different. However, twelve months is about average.

We all know what tooth braces are; ugly, metallic things, that make life hideous for the wearer. But, it need not be so, as more and more people are having success with clear orthodontic devices called "aligners." What is the difference? Braces use metal brackets that are interconnected with wires that gently push teeth in a particular direction. Aligners, however, are a series of tight-fitting mouth pieces that slip over the teeth. Many of them are custom fitted and as they are clear they are often called Invisible Aligners.

They however are not for everyone. Special care must be taken with children as both their bone structure and teeth are changing. Best to consult with a specialist. They are commonly used on patients with mild to moderately crowded teeth or minor spacing issues. Severe spacing problems may need complex and more specialised treatment.

How does it work?

After a thorough examination, the orthodontist will make a plan to correct the patient's bite by actually moving the teeth. For this the patient will be, over period of time, fitted with clear aligners, that will move the teeth. They are made of clear plastic, that fit tightly over the teeth and can be removed by the patient for eating and brushing.

How long will it take?

This depends on how much the teeth need to be moved or are crooked; how much off the bite is. It usually takes 10 to 24 months, depending on the patient. However, as they are not as precise as metal braces, small adjustments over a period of time may be necessary.

Refrain From Migraine And Snoring - TMJ Treatment

The Temporomandibular Joint connects the jaw to the skull. When this joint is damaged or injured, it will lead to pain and uneasiness. This TMJ joint only helps to chew, yawn, talk, and move the jaw up and down. The temporomandibular joint distortion results in wrong breathing and inconsistent chewing. It happens because the upper and lower teeth do not occlude normally. There will be a shift in the mandibular position and the body is propelled to find a solution to this issue. The altered mandible articulates with the skull in many ways leading to a TMJ disorder. As important nerves undergo prolonged stimulation in this region, it leads to many discomforts.

TMJ symptoms

Severe pain in the jaw joint, face, ear, neck, eye
Clicking sound of the jaw
Ear pain or cracking sounds in the ear
Headaches, migraines
Stiff jaw or neck muscles
Muscle spasms in the jaw
Difficulty in chewing
Dizziness or vertigo

Causes of TMJ

Excessive gum chewing
Teeth grinding
Arthritis and other musculoskeletal disorders
Orthodontic braces
Anxiety or stress
Malocclusion
Injury

TMJ Treatment

TMJ disorder is treated in two phases

Phase I: Splint therapy: A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), an ultra-low frequency machine used to relax facial muscles. A highly sophisticated tracking device helps to determine the actual position of the mandible. To fill out the space between the teeth, a lower splint is constructed.

Phase II: After six months, the splint is removed and with the help of orthodontic therapy space is closed permanently.

Aligners are plotted to develop a right amount of force at the right time in the right place. It takes less time to make teeth better and comfortable. It is also a good option for several dental problems such as overbite, under bite, cross bite or spacing. Invisalign works great in the straightening out the front teeth.

It is very important to brush and floss regularly after each meal to make Invisalign effective and useful. Not any other product is recommended to clean the teeth as they may be discoloring the aligners and develop a yellowish color on the teeth. The aligners are just like bleaching tray and soaked food and low pH saliva if they are trapped. Invisalign maintain a better hygiene over braces. It is recommended to wear the aligners at least 20-22 hours per day to get desired results. This includes changing of new set of aligners every two weeks during the treatment period.

Invisible Braces: Smile Confidently

Everyone want a great smile, but a majority of people need help in getting there. More and more people are having success with clear orthodontic devices called invisible braces.

Braces make use of brackets, which are connected by wires to help the teeth to move. Clear or invisible braces aren't for everyone. The dentist will help decide what’s best for you.

Can anyone get invisible teeth aligners?
As the invisible braces are custom-built for a tight fit, they are best for only adults or teens. Straightening a child’s teeth is way more complicated. Young people, and their mouths are still growing and developing so invisible braces are not suited for children.
Clear orthodontic braces are typically used for patients who have mild or moderately crowded teeth, or have minor spacing issues. Patients who have severe crowding or spacing problems or severe under bites, overbites, or cross bites may need more complex treatment.
How do they work?
Once a dentist decides how to correct your bite, they'll make a plan for moving your teeth. If you get the clear braces, you’ll be fitted for several versions that make slight adjustments to move your teeth over the treatment time.
They’re made from a clear plastic or acrylic material and fit tightly over the teeth.
How long does it take to straighten teeth using invisible braces?
Treatment time with invisible teeth braces is based on how much the teeth need to be moved or rotated. The more your bite is off or the more crooked your teeth, the longer it will take. Treatment usually takes between 10 and 24 months. As someone who has had braces previously, and your teeth has shifted slightly overtime, invisible braces are required for about 10 to 12 weeks.

Smile Architect, Bangalore offers a wide range of treatments and is specially recognised for Invisible Braces treatment.

Is Snoring Bad for Your Health ?

Sleep Apnoea is a very common disorder among people, especially men. This is a kind of disorder where you pick up pauses in breathing or the whole process of breath-taking becomes shallow at some points.  After a small break, it may suddenly return to normalcy with a loud snort or choke. This leaves you behind with a poor, regularly disturbed and uneven sleep which keeps you tired all the day.

Symptoms

Loud snoring, waking up suddenly from sleep or choking or gasping during sleep are all signs of sleep apnoea. Increased tendency for daytime sleep and fatigue are also regarded as signs of sleep apnoea.

Causes

Overweight, age and thickness of the neck are often regarded as the main causes for sleep apnoea. People who are obese are highly likely to pick up this disorder. People who are older than 50 years of age are also said to have reasonably, higher probability of picking up sleep apnoea. Studies reveal that people who have a neck circumference greater than 40cm might also become sleep apnoea patients. 

Treatment

The treatment for sleep apnoea will be decided only after finding the root cause. Life style changes, mouth pieces, breathing devices or surgical options are the different methods to treat sleep apnoea. 

Smile Architect, Bangalore is famous for treating disorders like sleep apnoea. It needs to be accepted that the institution has created a space for itself in the treatment of these disorders.

Do You Have Pain While Chewing ?

Disorders associated with the Temporomandibular Joint is a very common disorder among most of the people. TMJs are hinges that joins the jaws with the skull. TMJ or Temporomandibular joint may undergo changes to its original position which might destroy the normalcy in chewing, breathing properly or orthodontic treatments. This can also impact the intake of food and that of oxygen which destroys the rhythm of the life and leaves you tired and gasping.

Causes

The main causes for a TMJ disorder might include an injury to the jaw, problems associated with jaw muscles or even arthritis of the joint can result in a TMJ disorder. Clenching the teeth tightly or chewing or grinding with your teeth might also pave way for a TMJ disorder. Damage of the ball and socket joint or the cushioning around the joint might also be the cause for a TMJ disorder.

Treatment for TMJ disorder

TMJ treatments take a different approach from usual towards healing the disease and restoring normalcy to the people. It makes use of a very complicated tracking machine to find the defect and try to restore the original state with the use of personalised and custom made splint like structures. A special device is used to relax the facial muscles so as to bring the TMJ back to normalcy. Returning the joint and the muscles along with it to the normal state would reverse the difficulties that crept in due to the deformation of the joint.
