Problem teeth are an embarrassment at the best of times, especially misaligned teeth in adulthood. The Inman and Invisalign braces are both designed with the modern busy patient in mind. The Inman is good for straightening the front teeth only though, that is one of the few draw backs, but it does a quick and efficient job on those teeth. The problem is that the pressure points are in the sides and attached to a metal bar which runs along the front. The Invisalign is designed to straighten all the teeth, back and front as it has its pressure points on the inside back, this allows it to be `Bar Free` and almost invisible. They are both clear in colour and made from a plastic that is unique. The braces are replaced every two weeks at the dentist, and made in advance by an orthodontist, they in turn get all their co-ordinates from a computer expert who sets up the whole process. The dentist will take digital pictures and X-rays, and a mould of the teeth in question, the computer program will then work out the designs of every brace in advance, and also produce a 3D film that shows the process in whole. The patient gets to see their teeth being manipulated into their proper place, as this happens for real the gums blood flow is made to flow differently and so bone builds up behind the teeth. This stops the teeth from falling back into their old position, so the alteration is permanent. The other unique quality is that they are removable, when you`re eating and cleaning your teeth you simply take them out and then replace them afterwards. If you`re a busy person and have a lot of face to face meetings, and you don`t want people to know, then again you simply pop them out to suit you. If sleeping with a brace is a problem, then again you can sleep without them. Some people have had their teeth straightened in just 3 months, but that is rare and it usually takes around 8 months. The cost is also hard to pin down, but expect to pay around £1,000 to £3,000 for a full course. So if you missed out on having a NHS brace as a kid, you can now have a modern, 21^st century, computer programmed brace to straighten your teeth, which is science and dentistry at its best.
