Everyone deserves to have straight teeth, in
Ottawa, however, not everyone desires to go through the hassle of wearing wired
braces on their teeth for any length of time. This is why many people are
beginning to choose invisible braces designed by Invisalign™. This version of
braces began as the best choice for adults to use on their path to having a
nicer smile and straighter teeth.
To date, since the public’s awareness of this
style of braces, there have been over one million people, worldwide, who have
used them to gain straighter teeth. With a better tooth alignment, food
consumption becomes easier, and oral hygiene also becomes much simpler than it
was with crooked teeth. The process involves using, what is called, a set of
aligners over a period of time, normally for an average of 12 months.
The way they work is a person wears an aligner
for two weeks and then changes it for another one. This process gradually moves
their teeth into a proper alignment. Typically, there are a set of at least 18 aligners
or as many as 30, depending on a given individual’s needs. When it comes to
oral hygiene, eating, and cleaning is performed with the aligner removed.
The fact that a person has this ability makes
using invisible braces a better choice as a matter of convenience and
maintenance. This minimizes the visits to their Ottawa dentist for periodic
adjustments that accompany wearing the regular wire braces. This is why each
aligner changes every two weeks.
Each aligner brings or moves the teeth into
the optimal alignment for the person’s jaw on a gradual basis. While using invisible
brace cuts down the amount of visits to an Ottawa dentist, there is still a
need to visit them to ensure the treatment is working properly. This is because
each aligner is unique in the way they slowly adjust the position of the teeth.
From an insurance standpoint, the Invisalign™
braces are covered as long as a certified dentist is applying the treatment. At
the same time, certain benefits may not have the desired amount of coverage
when it comes to orthodontic care. This is one aspect of medical insurance that
always raises questions in Ottawa as well as elsewhere.
The financial aspects of dental care typically
carry an annual budget or ceiling for coverage. Dental Plans also specify
whether or not they are for individual or family coverage. Since the average
cost of this type of brace runs upwards of $5000, it would be wise to
understand how much out of pocket is needed to help cover the expense of the
treatment as well as the amount of the yearly coverage stipulated by the
policy. Nonetheless, when it comes to straightening teeth using invisible
braces are a good choice.
