Invisalign’s use of clear, removable aligners remains one of its strongest draws. It is also the reason why it has established a strong foothold amongst professionals in the media business and other image-conscious industries like Fashion and Beauty. That’s because Invisalign allows you to undergo your teeth straightening process in a discreet and professional manner – meaning, nobody has to know, if you don’t tell anyone. Unlike brackets and wires that draw unwanted attention to your mouth, Invisalign aligners are clear and invisible to the outside world. Even a person chatting with you at close range would not be able to spot the aligners on your teeth.

Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign works on a unique concept that applies minute forces to gradually move your teeth into place, thus requiring less brute pressure. As such, wire braces tend to exert more palpable force on the teeth that can result in discomfort for the wearer. Invisalign uses a series of aligners that are specially designed to give you a more comfortable teeth-straightening experience.

One of the biggest inconveniences of wearing metal braces has to do with it being affixed to your teeth because they make it very difficult for you to maintain proper oral hygiene. The crevices between the wires and your teeth can trap food particles, that are not easily removed through normal brushing and
In the best interest of Align Technology, the company should look towards Alternative 3 where Invisalign is broadened to the general dentistry market and incentives are created for dentists. This recommendation bridges together the three critical issues aforementioned. It will increase the conversion rate as now dentists are working towards recommending Invisalign to patients, dentists will recommend patients to orthodontists for Invisalign due to incentives and it will enforce a strong push strategy to the consumer. As seen, Align encountered a channel issue. To overcome this channel issue, they must match the incentive, product benefit, need of consumers and the function that each channel member provides. Alternative 3 does all aspects of that and will ultimately allow Align to overcome their revenues problem and satisfy
Braces date back to even ancient times, they are not a modern day concept. Archaeologists have found mummies with metal bands hugging certain teeth, which were around 400-500 BC. The first documented ligature wire was found in a Roman tomb in Egypt. In a more modern and known time such as when George Washington had his wooden teeth dentist were thinking about bad bites and how they could correct it. Roughly around the 1800s a man named Delabarre marked the start of contemporary orthodontics with the introduction of the wire crib. The wire crib is the wire put in the brackets. As we know braces than and braces now differ quite a bit. In the 1900’s braces were out of gold, platinum, silver, steel, gum rubber, and even wood. The wire was made out of gold! That had a lot of setbacks due to the fact it is a very soft material so constant adjustments were needed. Now, towards the mid 1970’s was the end of the wrap around metal, they had finally come up with a bonding agent to glue brackets on the tooth surface (S, 2002). We may have thought braces were barely invented but, as we have seen they have been around since even 4...
First of all, if I had not gotten my braces, then my teeth would not be how they are today. They are perfectly straight thanks to Dr. Spiller. I wear my retainer every night. Their company has allowed me to design my own retainer, and I wear it every night to keep my teeth straight for the years to come. Every time that I have an orthodontics appointment, I am greeted with a smile. The staff always makes me feel welcome, and they are gentle when working on my teeth. Every trip I have taken to the orthodontist has
“Train Tracks”, “Metal Mouth”, and “Brace Face” are all terms used to refer to people with orthodontic braces. Even through all the teasing, appointments, money, and pain, braces are worth it. Orthodontic braces are the worlds greatest invention because your teeth either make you or break you.
False teeth, which are known today as “dentures”, are bony plates which are installed into a patient’s mouth by means of adhesion to the fleshy mandibular or maxillary arch. Although these are now relatively inexpensive and their requirement is often taken for granted, they have not always been so easy to come by. A look at the history of false teeth shows a pain-staking and quirky evolution:
Pivot Joint This type of joint is also known as a rotary joint and allows only one type of movement, rotational movement which occurs when bone rotates on or around another bone, an example of this type of joint includes the joint of the first and second vertebrae of the neck that allows the head to move back and forth, the joint in the wrist which allows the palm to be turned facing upwards and facing downwards, this type of joint is incredibly important because it allows the bones to move freely while rotating, without this type of joint we wouldn’t be able move our head or our hands and wrists. The bones in a pivot joint are connected by ligaments to allow flexible side to side movement. Different types of bones are connected in a joint, for example, irregular bones like the vertebra and the skull is connected in a pivot joint. Hinge Joint
For personal or professional reasons, some people do not want visible clasps on their partial dentures. Clasps are not needed to maintain stability with a semi-precision denture. Interlocking male/female attachments placed on the denture and abutment teeth, which are usually crowned, hold the denture securely in place and provide stability.
Like metal braces, Invisalign braces effectively correct a variety of problematic cases such as crowding, crossbite, spacing, and under bite. In the process of wearing them, they straighten your teeth and hold them in their correct positions.
Most people believe an orthodontist and a dentist have two extremely similar jobs all because they both work with the human mouth. This, however, is not entirely true. An orthodontist focuses on a patient's mouth, straightening teeth and even jaws when necessary. Orthodontists will always make sure that jaws are properly aligned before recommending braces. Depending on each patient, the number of years wearing braces can vary (“Become an Orthodontist”).

...alth issues may arise due to braces. There are currently different types of braces available, such as traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and removable braces, such as Invisalign. Due to the dependability of metal braces in all type of orthodontic treatment, traditional metal braces are most commonly used. However, there may be hope of developing braces that are coated in a different material, such as plastic, that may not alter the change in microbiota as much, therefore requiring further testing to determine the best and most accurate results. The goal of the study is to not only find a potential factor in the development of CD, but to also see if there is a possibility that braces affect the microbiota enough to cause the formation of a disease. If this is the case, then the hope is that new and safer braces can be developed for the best patient results.
Diagnostic tools will be used to develop a customized treatment plan for the patient. Device will be used to gently move the teeth into proper position.

Starting the ninth grade with a mouth full of brackets was not at all how I envisioned starting my high school career. However, two and a half years of embarrassing school pictures, agonizing pain, and a lisp, the final product made it all worth it. The day I completed my orthodontic treatment made me realize why people choose to pursue dentistry. The instantaneous boost in self-confidence that I found from a glowing, electric smile was what sparked my
