At DentalWise Clinic, we offer a variety of orthodontic options, each with its advantages and limitations as detailed below:

Invisalign Clear Aligners

This method is particularly popular among celebrities, flight attendants, beauty bloggers, and anyone who values aesthetics. Invisalign uses clear, thin aligners that cover the teeth without any metal brackets or wires, making them virtually invisible. The aligners do not cause irritation inside the cheeks and can be removed for eating, brushing, or other necessary activities, allowing for a normal lifestyle. There is no risk of plaque buildup, and appointments with the orthodontist can be spaced out according to the patient’s convenience.

Invisalign is as effective as, or even more effective than, traditional metal braces. However, it requires care from an experienced orthodontist to achieve optimal results.

Clear Braces: Damon Clear

Damon Clear braces work with the same low-friction system as Damon Q but use ceramic materials instead of metal for the brackets, making them less noticeable. The brackets match the color of the teeth, though the wires are still silver. This option offers the benefits of Damon braces with the added aesthetic advantage of being less visible.

Metal Braces: Damon Q

Damon Q is the latest technology in metal braces, designed with a low-friction structure. This system requires less force to move teeth than traditional metal braces, reducing the overall treatment time and lowering the likelihood of tooth extraction or jaw surgery. Patients experience less discomfort during the adjustment phase, and Damon braces are easier to clean, with less food buildup. Appointments with the orthodontist can be scheduled every two months.

Traditional Metal Braces

This is a popular option among teenagers due to the colorful O-rings that secure the metal brackets to the teeth. Patients can choose different colors for the elastic bands, which are attached to metal brackets on the front surface of the teeth. With this method, patients need to visit the dentist monthly to adjust the braces.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces function like traditional braces but use clear or tooth-colored brackets, making them less visible. The brackets are paired with clear O-rings and silver wires, making them a subtle option suitable for people of all ages and professions. Like metal braces, ceramic braces require monthly adjustments by the orthodontist.

Each method offers different advantages, and the best choice will depend on the patient’s individual needs and preferences.

It can lead to difficulties in chewing, speech issues, gum disease, and faster tooth wear. CrossbiteIt occurs when the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth rather than overlapping them. This can cause tooth wear, gum recession, which may eventually lead to bone loss. Gap TeethExcessive spacing between teeth can stem from various factors, like small teeth, or a large jaw. Gaps may increase the risk of gum inflammation and disease. Open BiteUpper and lower teeth do not meet upon biting, creating a gap (front or sides). Often caused by habits like thumb-sucking, it can hinder chewing and biting into foods. Crowded TeethInsufficient jaw space prevents …

What is a Dental Implant? Procedures and Treatment Limitations The dental implant was created to substitute for the actual root or natural tooth root. Dental implants can be used to replace one tooth for those who have lost all their teeth. Most dental implants are made of titanium because of its compatibility with human bone. However, for people who have allergies or are unable to use titanium implants due to other reasons, we also have dental implants manufactured with other materials available, such as ceramic, that are compatible with the human body. For elderly patients or those with underlying medical conditions that may reduce the success rate of implant placement, implantologists can select implants with special specifications to enhance treatment success. At Dentalwise Clinic, we are ready to provide you with the best dental implants from the world's leading dental implant manufacturers like Straumann and Astra Tech.
