Quote
From a Harvard graduate (orthodontist, physician and scientist)...
“A bit less common (and possibly viewed as unorthodox use, but nonetheless interesting to mention) is the application of a medium size BioForce, perhaps a 0.018 x 0.018” or 0.016 x 0.022 at the very start of treatment of relatively mild cases, then leaving it in place for several months. In a few such cases, provided that the attachments were placed correctly, we observed a complete resolution of the malocclusion, nearly to the point of not needing any additional arch wires or additional treatment.”
–Dr. M. Kuftinec, Director of NYU’s International Orthodontic Program
TRANSLATION: Some people can have their teeth straightened in only a few months!
Need Straight Teeth Fast?
There are all sorts of choices to improve
your smile, we’ll give you a little overview and let you decide what you
prefer:
1) The Porcelain
Veneer Makeover
This option is great if your front teeth are
almost all filling already. If they are basically healthy then move on to the
other choices!
2) Traditional
Orthodontics
Well, this tends to be for perfectionists who
have more time...it’s still the most common choice.
3) Invisable Re-Aligners
These clear plastic appliances can take
forever to give you results, but they are almost invisible.
4) Shorter Term Orthodontics...
the wave of the future.
There are a number of systems that help to
speed up orthodontic care. Some of them include faster types of brackets
(dentists call them self-ligating, but what the heck that means we don’t know),
super-elastic wires, ways to reduce tooth size so they have more room, and
other techniques that you’d need to be a dentist or orthodontist to understand. It is described in a new book on the subject.
