Concerning A Better Alternative to Braces

I had braces when I was 14 years old and never wore retainer. I can say that the idea of braces was so discomforting and I am here to share my thoughts on you. But since the technology improves and I can get the benefit of wearing braces without all the time, expense as well as inconvenience. With braces worn, the simple task such as brushing and flossing becomes tedious. I can also remember the feelings after 24 hours of getting my braces tightened. When you sleep from the night before, you can notice it that there is soreness to the mouth after a day or two of the procedure.

Since modern technology also hits orthodontics and it is now possible to get the teeth straightened without wearing the conventional metal and wires to your teeth, it is now comforting. The alternative braces are the clear aligners that are capable of straightening the teeth for a period of 12 to 24 months. The clear aligners needs to be worn for at least 22 hours a day but the best thing about them is that you can removed them when there is occasions, hygiene or eating in which you don’t prefer them to be used. These are great alternatives to the conventional braces. These clear aligners are called invisalign that are invisible to be considered when worn. So if you think you wanted your teeth to get straightened, then you can contact or visit Shoreline Dental Care in West Haven and Milford CT to learn this cosmetic dentistry solution.
