Contrary to popular belief, not all orthodontic treatments are lengthy. While that is undoubtedly true in some instances, fewer times are sometimes needed to dramatically restore dental alignment and other orthodontic difficulties.
What exactly does "short-term orthodontics" entail?
Short-term orthodontics, as the name implies, entails a brief orthodontic therapy regimen. Short-term orthodontics is typically utilized for adult treatment when changing occlusions is not necessary. When a doctor wants to improve a patient's anterior teeth's cosmetic alignment, short-term orthodontics is the best option.
Why are patients so much more drawn to short-term orthodontic treatment?
The majority of adults have obstacles that prevent them from pursuing traditional orthodontic treatment. The first is the length of time required, which for conventional orthodontic treatment is often two years or longer.
The aesthetic aspect of traditional orthodontic therapy is another hurdle. For instance, standard orthodontic treatment frequently involves the use of traditional metal braces, which most adults find unattractive.
Traditional orthodontic treatment is frequently hampered by cost, particularly when it requires a sizable upfront payment and is spread out over several years.
The majority of adult patients are hesitant to undergo jaw surgery or extractions as part of regular orthodontic treatment, unless absolutely required.
When compared to these obstacles, short-term orthodontics are clearly appealing.
Compared to immediate orthodontics, veneers
Adult patients frequently only want their front teeth whitened for cosmetic reasons. In the past, getting veneers was a dental "quick fix" option for attaining that. Today, we are aware that veneers are not only expensive, but also harmful. Most veneers have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years due to gingival margin alteration, after which they must be replaced. Each time a veneer is replaced, more tooth surface is lost.
Contrarily, short-term orthodontics, such as the Smilefast technique, aligns teeth perfectly in six to nine months, enhancing their appearance without harming them. For about six to nine months, the Smilefast system uses clear braces and clear aesthetic wires to drastically enhance tooth alignment.
The availability of braces for a long time
To some extent, it is true that orthodontic treatment is not permanent. Younger individuals' orthodontic issues might recur since their jaws will grow quickly. However, in the case of short-term orthodontics, we primarily work with adults whose growth has mostly reached its conclusion.
Nevertheless, because to changes in the jawbone over time, teeth can occasionally migrate slightly.
The solution is to utilize detachable, clear retainers at night in addition to bonding retainers to the lingual surfaces of a patient's upper and lower teeth, which both offer solid protection against teeth moving. For the patient, this results in the best therapeutic and cosmetic results.
