Over the past decade, orthodontic technology has made much headway. There are several big variations between stand-alone braces and traditional braces. Overall, the treatment process for self-limiting braces is much shorter from start to finish than the traditional approach to braces.
What Are Self-ligating Braces?
Self-ligating braces are put in much the same way as traditional braces, without ligature. There are no bands of elastic or rubber or metal bonds, because they are not required. Instead, they use special clips or braces to help the arch wire hold the teeth in place. The clips allow for greater freedom of movement of the tooth, thereby minimizing discomfort which is often associated with conventional ligature. A simple adjustment is made to the brackets or clips which saves time and causes less discomfort with your orthodontist during regular visits. Continue reading

Good teeth are widely known as the basis for a beautiful smile, but not everyone is lucky enough to be born with perfectly straight teeth. The thought of wearing conventional metal braces to fix a crooked smile simply isn’t appealing to many adults and image-conscious adolescents. We offer, in the form of Invisalign clear braces, a cosmetically preferable alternative to conventional orthodontic treatment.
Maintaining careful oral hygiene is important during any procedure with orthodontics. Maintaining proper oral hygiene during therapy is an necessary aspect of wearing braces but for many patients it is a challenge. It is important to take a little more time on your braces while you are brushing your teeth. Remember, your teeth are still to floss. At first it will take a bit longer but keeping the area between your teeth clean will make sure your teeth get straighter faster. If you have a removable orthodontic device such as retainers or Invisalign then you can use a toothbrush to brush your appliance. Plaque has to be cleaned completely from your teeth so it’s much more necessary to remove plaque when you have braces. The brackets and wires inside your mouth build plaque spaces to cover. If plaque is not cleaned from your teeth and around your braces properly and regularly, you run the risk of developing gum disease, tooth loss, enamel scarring and poor breath. 
Brush and floss are imperative to keep your teeth behind your braces in mint-condition. 
Headaches can be painful, and frequently come from unpleasant circumstances. Certain factors can include fatigue, some underlying medical problems, and other narcotics. However, a well recognized cause of headaches is Malocclusion which is the name given to the misalignment of the teeth. Braces, or other orthodontic treatments, can help relieve the symptoms of headaches caused by Malocclusion.
Sadly, bad breath is one of the most common brace effects. It is caused by naturally occurring bacteria within the mouth. The bacterium also causes gum diseases and caries and absorbs food particles in various parts of the body. The bacteria produce the odors that contribute to a bad breath during the feeding cycle.
