For teens, specialized Invisalign Teen at affordable rates are also available here. Invisalign Teen are clear braces that are almost invisible, and as they can be easily removed, create no problem with flossing or brushing.

The team says, “We are the only licensed Premier Preferred Provider of Invisalign in Gainesville, and we also offer the patients a complimentary consultation for determining whether this advanced treatment is the right choice for the patient, so that they can get the best orthodontics treatment.”

Being a member of American Association of Orthodontists, Dr. Wilson is also making an attempt to educate parents with encouraging their kids to wear mouth guards while playing sports and games.

“I want to ensure that my teammates and patients are protected properly,” adds the doctor, “and I want them to use protection gear like mouth guards to stay away from facial, mouth or teeth injuries.”

The doctor and his team also remind people, athletes, and coaches about the importance of mouth guards for children, as they can suffer facial injuries in sport activities. The majority of parents agree with the fact that their kids do not wear facial protection like a mouth guard while playing sports.

Inspirational Pro Surfer and Damon System patient Bethany Hamilton Encourages Others to Smile through Adversity

There are not many people who don't know about Bethany Hamilton and her incredible story of her shocking shark attack as a young teen in 2003.  Since then, Bethany has gone on to inspire millions due to her amazing determination and attitude. She shares her astonishing story in her bestselling autobiography Soul Surfer which in April 2011 was released as a major motion picture. Not only does Bethany continue to compete in the ASP World Professional Surfing Tour, but she tours the world to share her story of triumph and to prove that with faith and belief anything is possible.

“After being treated with Damon Braces I couldn't be happier. The results of having braces not only improved my smile, it boosted my confidence” – Bethany Hamilton

After the shark attack Bethany will tell you she struggled through many trials and tribulations, which took a toll on her confidence and self esteem. When asked, Bethany will tell you that "after being treated with Damon Braces I couldn't be happier. The results of having braces not only improved my smile, it boosted my confidence." Now, with help from Damon System braces, Bethany is able to smile through adversity.

Damon® System official endorser, Bethany Hamilton relied on the trans-formative Damon System to quickly and comfortably improve the health and beauty of her smile. Known for triumphantly overcoming a horrific shark attack, Hamilton now helps to promote the Damon System and encourage teens, children and adults of all ages to smile through adversity, regardless of the challenges life throws their way.

"Smiles are a blessing and an infectious tool for spreading happiness and bringing joy to others," said Bethany. "The Damon System transformed my smile, allowing me to confidently share my story of perseverance and encourage others undergoing adversity. I'm glad to be a part of the Damon System team and I look forward to sharing the positive changes and incredible results that I experienced with this unique orthodontic treatment."

Bethanys' Damon System Story

Bethany began orthodontic treatment at age 14 for a severe underbite with significant crowding and a narrow arch. She also had an open bite, which means there was open space between her upper and lower teeth when her jaw was closed. These types of cases are typically among the most difficult to treat and often require surgery. Bethany relied on the Damon System instead of traditional braces for her treatment.

The light pressure used in the Damon System stimulates broad, natural arch development and typically delivers results up to 25 percent faster than traditional braces, according to clinical studies. While traditional braces require elastic ties to hold wires in place, these ties can accumulate bacteria and often require "tightening" that can hinder tooth movement and prolong treatment.

In contrast, the Damon System combines "tieless" braces with high-tech memory-shaped wires that don't need to be "tightened." Damon System braces are easier to keep clean, which promotes better patient hygiene throughout treatment. Additionally, treatment with the Damon System rarely requires tooth extractions and frees patients from the use of headgear, rapid palatal expanders and other invasive appliances. The cost of orthodontic treatment with the Damon System is comparable to that of traditional braces.

Bethany is one of more than three million Damon System patients who have achieved incredible results over the last 10 years. From adults to teens, today's healthcare consumers want fast, comfortable and virtually invisible orthodontic care. With the Damon System, orthodontists can deliver on all three of these essential patient requests while also producing a remarkable smile. The Damon System continues to improve smiles and Bethany is an awesome brand ambassador. Her positive attitude, determination and character continue to inspire countless people.

Damon System Donate to the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation

In honor of National Orthodontic Health Month, Ormco, the makers of Damon System Braces donated one dollar to the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation for each new "like" of the Damon System Braces Facebook page this was limited to the first 5,000 people who participate through the month of October. The Smile for a Lifetime Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization comprised of local chapters throughout the U.S. of which Wilson Orthodontics is one. Its mission is to create self-confidence and quality orthodontic treatment for patients who may not have the opportunity to achieve a beautiful, straight smile without financial assistance. Both Bethany Hamilton and the Damon System are making this joint Facebook charity event possible.

Orthodontic Treatment in Gainesville GA

Personality has a very big impact on people. Take personality, there are many things to include, for example wearing nice clothes, talking politely, sharing smiles, having good humor and being intelligent. Personality can make a person successful in every aspect of life. Having a brighter and beautiful smile plays a very important role in a person’s life. However, what if one doesn’t have that kind of smile? Beautiful teeth are the signature of a perfect smile. Many people all over the world have a problem of uneven teeth. Which makes their smile not so attractive, and they feel shy or stay low key at parties and other social occasions.

The solution to the problem is available in the world which is far advanced and can be availed by anyone. The treatment is called Orthodontic Treatment. This treatment has a long history, as the problem existed for many centuries. However, in 18th century, this problem was discussed and scholars said that the problem was curable. In the 19th century, braces were invented and introduced in to the market. After a period of time, the technology got more advanced the braces became more effective and economical.

Orthodontic Treatment is used for straightening teeth, alignment of teeth and alignment of the jaw. These problems can be seen in any age group. Newborn babies can have these problems as well as adults. This treatment can help all the age groups who have this problem. The alignment of teeth make dental problems a lot less. Alignments of the jaws will help teeth to be cleaned all the time and make a smile more attractive. Many people ask this question; How we will they be able to know what orthodontic treatment they will need? So here are some symptoms that will help to understand who needs Orthodontic Treatment.

If one has the front teeth that lie forward over lower teeth. If one has the lower teeth lie forward over the front teeth. If one has the abnormal biting like, upper teeth don’t come down to the lower teeth. If one has big gaps between teeth and use filings all the time. One has teeth over other teeth. These are some of the symptoms of orthodontic disease, and if he/she feels that they have them then they should consult a good orthodontist. There are different types of treatments available which orthodontists will diagnose, and which Orthodontic Treatment should be opted for.

There are three types of Orthodontic Treatment. One is preventive treatment, second is interceptive treatment and third is comprehensive treatment. There are some fixed instruments used to treat the problem, and some are removable instruments. In fixed instruments most commonly used instrument is braces.

There are five types of braces available, ceramic braces, metal braces, sapphire braces, Invisalign Braces and Lingual braces. These braces have a different quality and different material used in braces. Metal braces are the most commonly used braces in the market, as they are cheaper and can be afforded by anyone.

Normally orthodontic treatment takes 19 to 36 months as a whole depending on the problem. Time plays an important role in the treatment. As they say, “the sooner the better” for the treatment of dental problem as it is always a long process. We need our mouths to work all the time, whether we are talking or eating food. Every moment a person needs his or her mouth to work in perfect order. When people are about to go through the orthodontic treatment, they usually ask about the time period and get reluctant to the time period an orthodontist is suggesting. Once the treatment is started one should know that this is a time taking process but the results are excellent, and you will eventually walk away from the problem for a life time. In childhood, if the problem is being detected by the parents, and they consult with a good orthodontist, the problem will be cured in less time, as the bones are not fully shaped of a child.  An orthodontist can help a child and The American Association of Orthodontists recommend age 7 for their first orthodontic appointment. This early age can be easy to handle, as children are more interested in playing rather than seeing their self in a mirror.

The bones are softer and can be easily mold. In adulthood orthodontic treatment takes a little longer time then childhood, as the bones are strong and teeth are already placed. Now orthodontist have to remold the teeth and the jaw, which is a time taking job and especially teen-age children are not happy having braces on. However, now days there is a new terminology introduced in the market called Accelerated Orthodontic Treatment, in which orthodontists says that they will fast track the treatment, and it will give a result in less than a year. Everybody who is unaware of the side effects will go for the accelerated treatment, but every treatment has its effects on the body. Changing the size and the space of the teeth needs time and when you don’t give the required time to the treatment, many problems can occur in the healing process. This fast track treatment is still arguable and needs more research on it.

In cosmetic dentistry, all the problems related to teeth are being addressed. Orthodontists can transform the outlook of a person. Whitening or bleaching the teeth, bonding, dental bridging, veneers and gum lifts are being done by the orthodontists. Problem of bad smell, snoring and other mouth problems are determined by addressing dental problems. Many patients don’t even know the problem they are having. They are being treated in by the wrong doctors, and they use different products available in the markets which are not useful for their dental problems. Many people do not go to the orthodontists because they think they are more costly than a normal doctor. They pay for different products time to time again and do not get the required results, so it is better to pay once to get rid of the problem then paying for the low-quality products and spending money on them repeatedly. By applying different products without understanding their results people increase the ratio of the problem they are having. Orthodontic treatment is a one-time investment and should be done as soon as possible.

Invisalign Teen – Gainesville GA

Everybody wants to look good. Having a great and beautiful smile is a blessing these days. If not, then there are a lot of procedures that are available for straightening the teeth. The most common of them are braces. However, braces are very prominent. During the teens children are going through a lot of image issues, add braces on top of that and life can be pretty cruel to teenagers. For all these worried parents and teenagers, Invisalign is the answer to their prayers.

Invisalign Teen is custom- made for everyone. The shape of the aligner is determined by taking the individual and unique molds of each teenager. The aligners are transparent and plastic in nature. The purpose of  Invisalign Teen is to adjust the shape of the teeth and shift the teeth to their perfect position. The frame or the tray is to be worn at all times except during meal times. They are also removed during drinking, brushing and flossing. The adjustment of the teeth using this aligner is variable for each teenager. However, it can be said that the treatment time is approximately equal to the time taken by the metal braces. Generally, the time taken is said to be between 12-18 months.  The liners for  teenagers have a blue dot, which is called compliance indicator. This can be used to see how regularly the young patient wears their Invisalign Teen aligners.  When the blue dot lightens it means this is the time to get new aligners. The aligners are usually changed after two weeks.

Invisalign Teen corrects the position of the teeth. This solves problems like unhealthy gums, swollen gums and redness can be caused by teeth that are congested. If the teeth are aligned properly these problems can be avoided. Incorrectly positioned teeth and jaws can lead to speech difficulty and chewing issues for teenagers. These problems can be solved using the new and innovative technique. When teeth are not aligned properly or correctly around the jaws, it can cause extra pressure on the supporting bones and jaw joints. This can be very painful and uncomfortable for teenagers to bear. The system is designed so that all these problems are catered for.

Invisalign is preferred over metal braces because by using this system oral hygiene can be maintained easily and better. Metal braces can also cause sore spots by the brushing of the cheek flesh and the metal wires.  Six free individual replacement liners are available with the package. There are numerous options present for correcting the position of the teeth using this technology. The dentist will determine what procedure to implement. For those young patients, whose adult teeth have not grown Invisalign Teen will be used and when the adult teeth grow later teeth can be adjusted with the help of the special features of Invisalign. Since the aligners are transparent and clear in color, they do not look bad or ugly in the face like metal braces. There is a problem eating a lot of things while using the metal braces, for example, corn on the cob, pizza, burgers and popcorn for the fear of breaking a bracket. However, there is no such problem with this system since the aligners were removed at the time of eating. Therefore, teenagers can eat anything they want without the fear of breaking a bracket.

There is also the trouble of keeping the braces safe. No hard game can be played with the metal braces on. For example, while playing volleyball, there is always a fear of the ball hitting your face. If it does hit the face, it will be a lot messier with the metal braces on. Other than breaking all the brackets the braces can also hurt your mouth more when the ball hits. There are a lot of teenagers that avoid playing such rough games, unless they wear a mouth guard. There is no such problem with the Invisalign Teen. Any game can be played. So these aligners are also for the teenagers who want to play active sports and rough games. There is also the embarrassing hassle of checking that there is no food sticking in your braces after every meal as with the metal braces. Usually, there is no effect on the speech of the person wearing these liners. However, it does take some time to adjust to something new in your mouth. The results of Invisalign Teen can be observed very soon after the start of the procedure. The results of this procedure will be more pronounced if the liners are worn regularly. The teenage patient will have to meet the dentist around once every six weeks to determine the success and the pace of the treatment.

The method of maintaining  Invisalign Teen is very simple. The aligners wash in lukewarm water and using Invisalign cleaning crystals or special cleaning tablets. Other than that it is suggested that the teeth are bushed often especially after every meal and before reinserting the aligners into the mouth. This will ensure proper oral hygiene. The treatment with Invisalign Teen is not very painful. Click here for Invisalign Testimonials.

Young patient may experience a little pain at the beginning of the new set of aligners. This is natural since the teeth will be experiencing a little pressure to adjust to the desired position. The price of the treatment is variable depending on the extent of the position of the teeth.  For simple and minor adjustment of the teeth, the procedure is of about $2,800. The average cost is between $3,900-$6,200. The young patients wear about 18 to 30 aligners during the course of the treatment. Invisalign Teen is a very effective and useful procedure for teenagers and is also helpful for those parents who are worried about their children’s misaligned teeth. Invisalign Teen ensure that teenagers can have a bright and beautiful smile. This treatment will help the teenagers lead a confident and outgoing life. This procedure is a guarantee of success for your teenagers.

Damon System Braces Now Available in Gainesville GA.

Everybody wants to have a clear and beautiful smile. A good smile can improve your confidence. A beautiful smile is a very important tool to improve your social relations as well as business relations. Greater confidence means success. There is no need to stay stuck with protruding teeth for your whole life. Thanks to the advancements in the orthodontic field misaligned teeth can now be straightened into their perfect position. This can be achieved through a lot of procedures, including metal braces and clear braces etc.

Metal braces are very complicated to wear with all the metal ties and elastics. This procedure will give faster results. The results can be achieved with lesser appointments with the dentist. They are also comfortable to wear. The biggest advantage of the Damon System Braces is that there is no need to wear elastic or metal ties. They are the preferred method used to give a far better and a quicker result. These wires are light high-technology shape memory wires. This phenomenon helps in aligning the teeth and beautifies the facial proportions. All this can be achieved without rapid palatal expanders.

The metal braces can be of two types. First is the type that can connect the arch wire by using their own system, other types will require ligatures to do this. The normal metal braces have ties with metal elastics or ties. These elastics can cause a force called friction and pressure. This will slower the treatment and will make the treatment very uncomfortable. This elastic tie also collects plague.  The Damon System achieve the same effect without metal elastics. The wires are held in place using a slide mechanism. This has the advantage of moving the teeth more freely. This will also make the movement more comfortable and quicker.

Damon braces are not very prominent on the mouth hence do not look ugly to use. Damon braces do not need the colorful ligatures which are required on the other normal braces. And since there are no ligatures, there is no risk of food getting stuck in your braces. They are comfortable and maintaining the hygiene of these braces is very easy.

One of the hassles that comes with the metal braces is that these braces need to be tightened. When these braces are tightened the patients feel extra pressure on the teeth. There is no such discomfort with the Damon System because the dentists can correct the position of the teeth with lighter force because of the great phenomenon of the slide mechanism. This will make the whole procedure of correcting the positions of the teeth more comfortable, less painful and shorter.

The time taken to correct the position of the teeth varies from patient to patient. However, it can be easily said that the average duration can be in years. The treatment time with the Damon braces is six months shorter than the metal braces. The patients will be able to get rid of the braces faster. The patients will enjoy visible results in ten weeks.

The patients will experience some pain in the initial days after getting their braces. Nevertheless, the pain will vanish after few days. It is a common practice to extract teeth to create space for congested teeth sometimes as many as four. This is a very painful procedure. It will take quite a while to fill the gap. And until that happens patients have the gap in their teeth and a very embarrassing smile. No extraction is required in the Damon system braces because it will make use of the human body’s natural flexible method of creating space. This will be the major advantage of these braces. In the cases where extraction is required for Damon Braces it will be done to improve the facial balance and harmony. The patient will have a natural and beautiful smile. The Damon System offer a ‘brace lift’ which means that a greater facial balance can be achieved after wearing the braces for some time. This will help the patient get a younger looking  face.

Sometimes the metallic braces require bulky head gears and palatal expanders to create room and develop arches for the congested teeth. Damon System Braces do not require the use of the mechanical forces but relies in natural forces to develop arches and space. These will be achieved without the use of any head-gear and palatal expanders.

Damon System Braces achieve a beautiful, radiant and natural smile using muscles of the face, tongue, bones, and tissue and biological compatible forces. The Damon brackets are also different than the conventional metal brackets. They are tinier in nature. This is another reason why these braces are comfortable to wear. They are more powerful than the normal brackets. This way, the brackets are less prominent. This is another factor that makes the treatment more comfortable and makes the treatment faster.

The procedure of Damon System Braces is slightly more expensive than the normal braces, but it offers the same result in less time. Damon System Braces is also more comfortable and offers better oral cleanliness.

Damon System Braces can achieve the best and desirable results in the most complicated, complex and congested teeth environment. These braces can achieve the expansion and widen smile as much as 11 mm both for adults and children. This procedure can be implemented on adults as well to achieve equally beautiful results.

This phenomenon will help achieve better looking teeth for the youngsters and adults alike. Great looking teeth mean that the person will be more confident and outgoing. These are the secrets to a successful life. Damon System Braces help in succeeding with these results. Damon System Braces is the answer to all those people who want to be successful in their life and want to look good while doing so. These braces are a new technology and there are a lot of improvements expected in this.  This system helps in achieving inward as well as outward change, which can change the whole personality.
