May 14th, 2012

Proper orthodontic treatment is necessary for both kids and adults, and the team of Wilson Orthodontics tries to spread this awareness along with providing the very best in orthodontic treatments.

May 14 2012 - Teeth and jaw issues are common among both adults and children, and only an expert orthodontist can help to cure these problems and bring back the beautiful smile through advanced orthodontic treatment procedures.

To make sure that people of all ages smile confidently Wilson Orthodontics provide a comprehensive service through their expert orthodontic team.

Wilson Orthodontic TeamDr. Svetlana Lekht and Dr. Ron Wilson heads the team and they offer their services in many places including Gainesville, Hoschton, Oakwood, Cleveland GA, Dahlone, Flowery Branch GA and other nearby Hall County areas.

At the Gainesville practice, one can get different varieties of braces for kids and adults as well. Early orthodontic treatment and the right braces for kids can give them a healthy smile in the future.

Do You Qualify for Invisalign?

Many people, especially teens do not like braces to show up when they smile, so clear braces are the best option for them. This is why the expert team puts forward Invisalign, which provide straight teeth with removable and invisible aligners.

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.

Final Week for Applicants to Register for Smile for a Lifetime Scholarships

April 23rd, 2012

Smile for a Lifetime - Deadline - 1 May

We are pleased to announce the Boys & Girls Clubs of America have partnered with the Smile for a Lifetime Foundation.

Now we have entered the final week of the current round of applications and all nominees will be sent to our board of directors on May 1st to vote. So now deserving club members have opportunity to receive free orthodontic care too.

smile for a lifetime gainesville ga

The Smile for a Lifetime Foundation (S4L), an international nonprofit organization that provides orthodontic care and free braces to underserved children with financial challenges and special orthodontic needs, announced today that it has partnered with Boys & Girls Club of America (BGCA) to help S4L chapters throughout North America find qualified applicants for their local orthodontic scholarship programs. Through S4L’s partnership with BGCA, young people who are served by some 4,000 community-based Clubs across the country will have the opportunity to learn about S4L and apply for its orthodontic treatment scholarships.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is dedicated to introducing the young people we serve to life-enhancing programs to help them develop self-confidence and reach their full potential as productive, responsible citizens,” said Sharon Hemphill, senior director of health and life skills for BGCA. “The gift of a smile can transform a child’s life. By working with Smile for a Lifetime, we will be able to offer Club members the opportunity to receive free braces and most importantly, a beautiful, long-lasting smile.”

S4L was founded in 2008 by Dr. Benjamin Burris in an effort to link children and teens of low-income families with pro-bono orthodontic scholarships. Since its inception, the foundation has treated more than 800 children who could not afford braces and has grown to an international nonprofit organization that currently serves more than 108 chapters in 38 states and Canada. Local orthodontists form S4L chapters in the communities they serve and individually treat six or more young people annually. Local BGCA staff members are encouraged to nominate members ages 11-18 who would benefit from the S4L program by visiting www.s4l.org.

“Finances should never stop a child from achieving the dream of a straight smile and S4L is committed to touching the lives of our youth by awarding thousands of orthodontic scholarships to deserving kids,” said S4L National Board President Dr. Ronald Redmond. “Given our shared goal of fostering self-confidence among our nation’s youth, we believe our partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America is the perfect union for providing our nation’s young people with a brighter future.”

S4L scholarships are funded through local orthodontists like Dr. Wilson in Gainesville and primary sponsor Ormco Corporation—a leading manufacturer and provider of advanced orthodontic technology and services. Ormco provides the orthodontist with the braces used for treating each S4L scholarship recipient.

If you have any questions about S4L and orthodontic scholarships, please e-mail Trey Taylor, Executive Director at: trey@wilsonbraces.com - Wilson Orthodontics.

PLEASE NOTE: All correspondence will be via e-mail, and we will reply to your questions within 48 hours during normal business hours.

Wilson Orthodontics - The Invisalign Teen Preferred Provider for Gainesville GA

November 6th, 2011

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.

October 31st, 2011

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.
