Short Term Braces Information Sheet Will Short Term Braces Work on Me if I have Spaces, an Overbite, or Crowding? Short Term Braces will work on almost any type of case. All the above case types have been treated with Short Term Braces. Other types that can be treated with Short Term Braces include, but are not limited to open bites, deep bites, anterior cross bites, and cases that need orthodontics prior to veneer placement. Are There Any Cases that are not Recommended for Short Term Braces? There are actually few limitations in regards to Braces Short Term. There are certain cases that I do not recommend be treated with B Short Term races. Severe TMJ cases are one example. Another situation where Braces is not r Short Term recommended would be in the case of a patient who is seeking a dramatic profile change. Often times these cases are best treated with surgery anyway. Having said that we will often use Short Term Braces as a sort of “dental camouflage” of their underlying skeletal problems. One example would be in a case where the patient has large overjet or extremely flared incisors. In these cases we will give the patient the option for comprehensive treatment-perhaps with a surgical component-or camouflage treatment options with Short Term Braces. In the case of a large overjet we would retract the flared incisors to greatly reduce the amount of overjet and to reduce any upper lip flare. By concurrently opening the bite (most of these cases have deep bites) we often can minimize a large chin button. On some of these cases the patient has a small chin and some will consider a chin implant. The end result of the case is that the overjet is greatly diminished. The lower jaw may still be posteriorly displaced, but most patients want overbite reduction completed in these cases and we get very nice results. Although there are some limitations to Six Month Braces often times we can still use the technique to get a result that is still pleasing both to patient and the doctor. Are Short Term Braces More Dangerous Than Regular Braces? Do They Hurt More? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding NO! Short Term Braces are safe and effective. Short Term Braces is actually a low force technique. Many people think we just “tighten” the braces like crazy to get the teeth moving. That aggressive treatment would actually slow down tooth movement by crushing the supporting structures around the teeth. This would also cause severe pain to the patient. We use wires that exert a light continuous force to move teeth. This gently moves the teeth in the most comfortable way possible to their desired position. We have treated fair number of relapse cases with Short Term Braces and many of these patients have said that Short Term Braces is a far more comfortable procedure than was their traditional orthodontic treatment. Can Short Term Braces Use Clear Braces to Straighten my Teeth? Yes, the Short Term Braces technique allows the use of not only metal, but clear braces as well. In fact most of our patients undergoing treatment are adults who are concerned with the appearance of their smile and choose the clear brackets. Why Hasn’t My Dentist Heard of Short Term Braces? Your dentist may not have heard of this technique yet, but he (or she) will in the very near future. Always educating myself in the newest materials and techniques in dentistry has been my personal passion and commitment to my patients. For further information, please view www.premierdentalcenter.com
