Parents and kids are continually amazed at the modern and patient - friendly techniques that are now routinely utilized in orthodontics. Discomfort has been minimized with the elimination of heavy forces. More efficient and lighter forces with archwires made of new materials have brought many smiles to orthodontic patients. Some wires that cause movement are temperature sensitive, so patients have more control as o the level of comfort and speed at which the teeth move. Warm foods and mouth temperatures activate some of these wires, while if a patient Dr. Nelson Hersh Dr. Marsha Beattie Dr. Amy Isenberg Licensed Specialists for Children & Adults feels uncomfortable, a cold drink brings a smile. Headgears are virtually a technique of the past as alternative techniques now exist. The actual braces have become smaller, so less noticeable, with the added benefit that with smaller brackets come lighter forces. Titanium braces are available for added comfort or a different look. Clear braces have been improved to resist stain and are almost invisible. Fun and creativity can be brought into the picture as patients can now elect and change the colors used for the braces monthly.
