Bettering Your Smile
in Shorter Time: What is Accelerated Orthodontics?
Many people have described
it as a mad rush -- the number of men and women seeking
cosmetic dentistry in this day and age. One of the more
common procedures that adults can be found considering
when it comes to cosmetic dentistry is orthodontics.
With that noted, however, many adults shy away from
orthodontics (despite the benefits that orthodontics
can lend to a person’s smile and appearance) because
they determine that it simply will take to long to see
results.
For many years, orthodontics
has been a procedure and treatment regimen associated
with children and teenagers. Adults eventually did begin
to turn to orthodontic care for health purposes and
finally for cosmetic reasons in more recent times. Yet,
and again, many adults shun the procedure because of
what they have perceived to be the time commitment that
will need to be made from the onset of the process through
its conclusion.
In reality, all of
this has changed with accelerated orthodontics …
A Look at Accelerated Orthodontics
Through accelerated
orthodontics a patient will wear braces for a period
of only four to eight months -- a shorter course of
treatment than normally is associated with teeth straightening
through the use of dental appliances. In many instances,
the specific dental appliance that is utilized when
it comes to accelerated orthodontics is what is known
as Damon Brackets.
Damon Brackets allow
for the acceleration of orthodontic treatments because
of the ability of the wire running between the brace
brackets to slide back and forth.
In advance of the
actual installation of dental appliances into your mouth
for the accelerated orthodontics process you may have
to undergo periodontal surgery. You may need this type
of surgery to make room within your mouth, in your bite
range, to allow for the installation of the Damon Brackets
or similar appliances that will be utilized in the accelerated
orthodontics process. |
