Orthodontics: Clear Braces
Here's how It
Works
If your doctor determines that you are a candidate
for the Red, White and Blue or RW II system, an impression of your teeth will
be taken and sent to our laboratory where a series of active appliances will be
custom-made for you. One, two or three appliances will be made depending on
your doctor's analysis of your particular dental alignment. Each appliance will
be made of light-weight, plastic-like material in the shape of your arches,
using an impression of your teeth. Subtle corrections are incorporated in each
appliance to direct your front teeth to a more desirable position.
You will wear each appliance
approximately 4 to 6 weeks depending on your doctor's instructions. The nearly
invisible appliances are so easy to wear and talk with; few people will even
know you have them on. And in just a few months, you will be enjoying your
beautiful new smile. Whether you are in school, on the go with your family, a
professional in the public eye or active in sports, the Red, White and Blue or
RW II system can fit into your busy life.
It's So
Convenient
Red, White and Blue and RW II is simple to
use. The doctor will provide you with appliances and directions for wearing.
For your convenience each appliance has colored dots to aid in seeing the
appliances when they're not in your mouth (they're nearly invisible). Each
appliance works to coax your teeth to make small incremental movements, each
getting you progressively closer to your new smile.
When you begin wearing the appliances,
you may experience minor discomfort, but they will soon loosen and become
comfortable. The final appliance is designed with all the desired correction
and can be worn at night as a long-term appliance. It couldn't be easier.
In some more extreme cases your doctor
may suggest a "follow-up" appliance to finish straightening your teeth. This
evaluation, in some situations, can be made at the initial treatment
evaluation, or at the completion of your initial appliance.
