Queens in New York City is the second most populous borough in the city. The area is the most ethnically diverse in the world with 48 percent of the population being foreign born. More than a quarter of the households in Queens is made up of single individuals, while a third have children under 18 living with them.
This population mix means that many in Queens are likely to have misaligned teeth. Teens as well as those adults who were born abroad might not have had an opportunity to have their overbite, under bite, cross bite, gap teeth, or other teeth alignment problems corrected.
Advantages of Teeth Alignment
Proper teeth alignment is more than just an aesthetic issue. Poor teeth alignment can lead to oral and other health problems and loss of self-confidence. With modern advances in orthodontics it is possible for teens and adults to have their teeth aligned with greater ease and comfort.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a technology that uses clear, removable plastic braces to help move teeth to the desired position. The clear plastic is smooth and easy to wear. It is not visible and does not irate the inner lining of the mouth like metal braces. Moreover, as it is invisible, teens and adults are less self-conscious about wearing the braces even as their teeth are aligned.
As Invisalign braces can be removed before eating, one can eat popcorn, apples, nuts, and hard crust pizza and bread without fear of damaging the braces. This fits in better with most lifestyles.
Additionally, the Invisalign braces can be removed before brushing and flossing, making these tasks simpler. This also helps prevent discoloration and cavities as the teeth are cleaned properly.
Whether you are looking for braces that your teen will be comfortable wearing or are looking for braces that will help you get your teeth aligned, you are barking up the right tree. Your coworkers and friends will be cognizant immediately if you are wearing metal braces, but Invisalign is the right choice for you do not want this type of recognition.
Invisalign also helps you continue with your busy schedule since it requires fewer visits to the dentist, only once in six weeks in many cases.
Incognito Braces
Another option for those wanting to straighten their teeth but avoid visible metal braces is Incognito or nano braces. These are small, tiny metal braces that are fixed behind the teeth. They are fixed permanently until the teeth are aligned but are invisible to others. As they cannot be removed, these nano braces work throughout the day to help ensure that your teeth are aligned faster without making you self-conscious.
Moreover, there is no danger of forgetting to put on the braces in the morning or after a meal, ensuring better compliance and quicker and more effective alignment of the teeth.
Both Invisalign and Incognito braces are ideal solutions for the fast paced lifestyle of residents of Queens. They help correct teeth alignment issues without stopping you from enjoying an active social life. You can get your teeth aligned without feeling self-conscious about metal braces whether you are at work or school.
