Night Braces: When You Sleep, They Work!

Traditional braces are non-removable constructions that are used for correction of the occlusion defects. Treatment can last up to 2 years. The system is set and corrected by cosmetic dentist nyc. He controls the treatment process and applies changes if necessary. This treatment is very expensive and braces on teeth do not look very esthetic. That is why many people feel so shy to wear them that they do not undergo orthopedic treatment at all. This provokes serious changes in the entire organism. 

There is an alternative to static orthopedic constructions – the so-called “removable braces”. They are used only in night time. There exist several types of them – aligners, retainers and trainers. Such systems must not be worn 24/7 and the patient can wear and take them off without doctor’s help. They are helpful if the occlusion anomalies are not very serious. That is why they are most often used in children’s treatment. When dental rows are completely formed and tissues got stiff, such braces will not be able to solve the problem.

Removable braces are worn at night and at day on a couple of hours. They can be worn on one or both jaws. They help children get rid of some bad habits that spoil the occlusion like nail biting or thumb sucking. Sometimes such systems may be helpful for adults too. They can correct some insignificant defect like slightly turned away tooth or little gaps between them. They are appointed to save the result after orthodontic teeth straightening. Braces are constructed not to interfere with normal process of breathing and are painless. So nothing will spoil your good sleep.

Aligners and retainers are crafted individually for each patient with the consideration of his dental specialties. Aligners are changed in the process of treatment, retainers can be corrected. Trainers have universal size and do not require any changes.
