Traditional Metal Braces vs. Damon System Braces vs. Clear Aligners
Today you now have a choice in planning your orthodontic treatment! Taking a proactive part in designing your treatment can help you better understand how appliances work and why you should follow their strict instructions. Since numerous types of appliances are now available, choosing among them might be hard for those who have little knowledge regarding their advantages and disadvantages. In order to prevent regrets during or after your treatment, it is best to gain broad awareness about orthodontic treatments. Below is a good comparison of traditional metal braces and clear braces you can use as your guide. 
Examining each of them and comparing them with each other can help you calculate which option is best for you. By “best” we mean lesser pain, lesser discomfort, more convenience, lesser cost, and shorter treatment duration. Since having all these advantages at once is hard to achieve given you have limited resources or other restrictions, you can pick which criteria you prefer the most such as price, duration, or convenience and base your decision on it.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are known for their strength and durability that can withstand the test of time for patients of all ages. These braces require an elastic rubber band, also called ligature, in order to connect or hold the archwire into the bracket. On the other hand, some orthodontists utilize metal tie wires instead of these elastic bands. These tie wires are twisted around the bracket thus enabling them to apply pressure on your teeth. This pressure will then slowly move your teeth to their desired positions over time.
Advantages
These kind of braces are less expensive compared to the other types of braces thus it is the most commonly used worldwide to keep orthodontists overhead down. You are allowed you to play with multi-colored ligatures that serve as decorations on your teeth when you smile. Aside from that, an option for a darker ligature is also available for those who smoke or drink coffee in order to hide staining.
Disadvantages
Traditional metal braces are easier to notice compared to the Damon System Bracket or Damon Clear Braces. Because of this, most teens and adults prefer the smaller Damon Braces or even clear aligners. Furthermore, since this type of braces is cemented on your teeth, proper brushing and cleaning is a must in order to prevent tooth decays. Lastly, metal braces tend to be uncomfortable at first 3 weeks as your tongue, cheek, and lips get used to it. The older bracket systems also require more force to get the teeth to move which translates to discomfort for the patient. Because of this, Dr. Wilson has chosen to not use the older braces systems in his office due to less patient satisfaction upon completion of treatment and a less superior result that the Damon System
Damon System Braces
The Damon Bracket system is the leading orthodontic bracket on the market today. It is the only “passive, self-ligating bracket” and has a special patent that no other braces system can reproduce. It’s know for getting a more superior result in a shorter time with less discomfort. It is the “Cadillac” of all braces systems out there today. It’s also know for giving the patient a wider, more esthetic smile that can not be achieved with other braces systems.
Advantages
The advantages over traditional braces or the old bracket systems are many. Just to list a few: Smaller bracket, more hygienic, less discomfort, faster treatment times, fewer appointments, a broader/fuller smile, along with many more advantages.
Disadvantages
It is the most expensive braces system out there, which is why most orthodontists don’t use it because it increases their overhead. However, Dr. Wilson has elected NOT to charge a premium or increase his fees because of this since he is able to finish his patients faster and in fewer appointments so this decreases the time needed for each patient as far as overall chair time, which tends to wash out his increased overhead on the bracket. Thus, this creates a built-in savings for the patient.
Clear Aligners
Having clear braces is a good option for those who don’t have the confidence to wear metal braces. Clear braces are made up of plastic and the most common brand is Invisalign. Unlike metal braces, clear braces or aligners need to be replaced once every two weeks.
Advantages
The main advantage of using clear braces is cosmetic. Patients are conscious regarding how they look when friends and families notice their weird appliances such as palatal expander, metal braces, or metal retainers. Aside from that, since clear aligners are removable, it will be easier for you to clean the appliances as well as your teeth. You can even remove them when playing instruments, swimming, or engaging in sports.
Disadvantages
Because of its convenience and comfort, clear braces are slightly more expensive compared to other types of braces. They are also more fragile so handling them carefully is a must in order not to break them. Furthermore, there’s a higher risk of losing them since you can easily remove them and misplace your braces case or holder. However, Invisalign Teen has 6 replacement aligners for free built in.

Beach Braces Smile Quote #24 “A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you’re at home.”
Showing others that you are confident, happy and content is very important to connecting with other people and remaining approachable. A smile is a universal symbol for showing that you are comfortable and that you are at home in your own skin. You would be amazed at the amount of people that might approach you if you simply include a smile in items that you wear daily.
People who walk around confident with a smile on their face managed to see life in a different way. Not only does it make them more approachable but it can also work to make others feel much more content and happy around them. Smiles are something that is meant to be shared, after all a smile is a universal symbol showing that you are happy and by showing off your smile to other people that care about you they can’t help but feel happy as well.
It can be easy to lose a smile when you are stressed, overthinking aspects of your job or even just having a difficult day but it is important to remember to take some time for yourself and to do something that makes you smile. A smile during a time of weakness or during a difficult time is a great way to show people that you still have hope and that you are still confident in your own abilities. A smile is the perfect way to show that you are happy to be in their company and you are fulfilled as a person.

Straight Teeth without Braces

Clear Braces what are they exactly?
Being in a midst of decision making whether or not to correct your teeth misalignment problems brings you to consider several factors when doing so.
Aside from the cost of treating these problems, you may find yourself being more concerned about its cosmetic effects while under treatment. Wearing braces may inflict a great impact on your confidence every time you talk to the public, smile on cameras, and even greet your friends daily.
Fortunately, this kind of problem has been answered by Align Technology. A product called Invisalign allows you to undergo an orthodontic treatment for several months or years without having everyone notice you’re under treatment.
Invisalign works by applying the right pressure on your teeth in order to move them over the course of the treatment just like braces. The only difference is that they are CLEAR. In fact, so clear that even the person you are talking to each day won’t even notice you are wearing them. Invisalign indeed is a breakthrough when it comes to orthodontics as patients are more confident to wear them than braces. Why sacrifice your current smile in the process of acquiring a perfect smile in the future if you can have it all without being intimidated?
Can Teens use Invisalign?
Invisalign is now also available for teens especially as teens are more conscious with how they look in front of their friends. Improving the self-confidence during the teenage years is very important so teens can be able to reach their full potential without any hindrance. This confidence will help them perform better each day, improve their grades each semester, and compete well with others in athletics and other extra-curricular activities.
Every individual aims to have the perfect straight teeth without braces. The good news is that everyone will now be able to fulfil this dream through Align Technology’s Invisalign for teens and adults easily and comfortably.

“The purpose of our lives is to be happy!”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #23 “The purpose of our lives is to be happy!”
Many people get hung up on wealth, possessions, stress, and difficulties in life but it is important to remember that the true purpose of our lives is to be happy and to share our happiness with others. So much of our society has become extremely fast-paced and material, and as more and more people are struggling to find their own version of happiness by consuming and buying more and more each day the root of happiness comes directly from within. You can share this happiness with other people through something as simple as a smile.
A smile is not something that can be bought or sold but it certainly can be traded. If you are able to pass by someone on the street and give them a confident smile you can share your happiness directly with others and truly brighten their day. Remember that there is always something that you can be happy about and that it’s very important to take time out of a busy day or a stressful event to spend time making yourself smile. It is understandable that we can’t be happy at all times but to try and embrace happiness and sheer happiness with others daily is a noble pursuit it can only help to enrich our lives.
As many others may struggle to obtain more material wealth, they are continuing to ignore our base human instinct to simply share happiness with each other and be happy each and every day. Remember to try and stay positive and to share the things that you are happy about. Think of happy memories and try to smile each and every day so that you can share your happiness with others.

“Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #19 “Every tooth in a man’s head is more valuable than a diamond”
Many people overlook the care of their teeth as well as truly valuing their smile. A smile is an extremely expressive tool that we all use each and every day, caring for it is imperative to maintaining our confidence, our image and how we depict our happiness to the world. Just as this quote would suggest it’s very important for people to care for their teeth just as they would the most valuable diamond in a jewellery collection.
A smile is what makes us approachable and what we use to communicate happiness to other people. If people are unable to value their teeth they may not be confident in their smile and may also have difficulty smiling without any effort. It’s important that we be able to smile with other people and share a smile as this can brighten somebody’s day. Having the confidence to be able to perform a big open tooth ear to ear grin is what really helps us to connect as human beings. A guarded smile is nowhere near the same as a genuine confident one. Are you happy with your smile?
You never know the type of people that you might meet or who you might impress by showing off your perfect smile. This is why keeping your teeth healthy and regularly caring for each and every tooth in your head, as the quote would suggest is so very important to maintaining your appearance and valuing your happiness. Smiles and teeth truly can be more valuable than any diamond in existence.

”You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just SMILE”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #18 ”You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just SMILE”
To go through life without smiling would have to feel like something is missing. You might check to make sure you are wearing your shoes, or put on your tie, or grabbed your keys and phone. After making sure that you have everything that you need for your day, something still seems to be missing. In order to be fully dressed, you need to put a smile on each morning.
There are so many things in life to be appreciative of. What better way to show your happiness and excitement than through a smile? Smiles are the universal way of showing that you are happy or have a positive outlook on something. When we start to smile, others cannot help but smile themselves. Why not challenge yourself for the next couple of days to wake up and before you leave the house, put a smile on your face? You might notice that people will begin to ask you “Why you are smiling?”, or “What are you so happy for?”
What greater response than telling them that today is just a good day and you are happy to be smiling. I guarantee if you start this trend, people will begin to be more positive and upbeat when they are around you because they know that you are the person they can come to share a smile with. No one likes a grouch, so why not put a smile on and share it with everyone?

Are you embarrassed by the way your smile looks? If this is the case Beach Braces would like to assist you in correcting your teeth so that you can have a smile that you are proud of.

Beach Braces Smile Quote #16“The shortest distance between two people is a smile”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #16 “The shortest distance between two people is a smile”
A great philosopher once said “A smile connects us, you and me…A smile can be a language anyone can learn to speak”. Who is this great philosopher you ask? None other than the great Kermit the Frog!
No matter where you are in the world a smile is universal. It means the same thing in every country. Even if you have no idea how to speak that language, you will be able to share happiness with them.
Scientists have found that when we smile neuropeptides are released in our brain. This allows the rest of our body to know what is going on. So when we smile endorphins are released giving us an energy boost and the ability to fight off stress. It has also been said that endorphins can cause pain relief. With all of these positives we can see how smile and laughter is the best medicine.
Wouldn’t that be great to get a prescription from the doctor that said, “Must laugh three times daily. Take with a full glass of water for fast relief” The awesome thing here is that we don’t need a prescription to laugh.
All we have to do is just begin smiling! Of course we cannot plan what is going to happen through our entire day. There may be things that happen around you to cause stress or unhappiness. The best way to combat those feeling is to try to stay positive and know that this is not the end of the world and you will be able to smile again soon.
Try your hardest to stay positive and surround yourself with others who do the same. Before you know it you will have that little pep in your step once again, and you will be ready to share your smile with the world!

To Smile or Not to Smile that is the Question

Beach Braces Smile Quote #15 “Is a smile a question? Or is it the answer?”
Smiling is most definitely an answer. Sometimes when asking a question a smile is all that it takes. Think of all the times in the past couple days that you smiled.
In these instances when you smiled were you content with what you had discovered? Is this what caused your boost in joy? Or was it because someone made you laugh and you were joyed with the feeling that it gave to you.
We respond to situations with our emotions, be it happy or sad. When we smile its because we are feeling something and we are sure that what is being felt is making us happy or we appreciate the nature of it.
Smiling is the answer for many things, but we need to start using it more often. In a place where there is no smiling, people will become hard and calloused in their hearts. It should be our goal to go to these places and share our joy with them.
Since laughter and smiles are contagious, we should desire to bring that to people who are without happiness. Of course there is a place and a time for everything, but if you feel that you could brighten someone’s day with a smile, by all means smile away!
You might be the only person that day who has tried to boost their spirits and in the end you could have made them very happy. The question shouldn’t be if we should share our smiles with one another. The question should be how.
How can we spread positivity with a smile to others? Start by just smiling at people. Chances are they will return the favor with a smile. When you are comfortable with telling jokes, share them with some friends and see their faces change from a blank stare to completely happiness. Whatever you do, be happy and share that smile with everyone!
Unfortunately many people cover their smile with their hand, as they don’t feel comfortable with their smile and don’t wish to wear braces. A good alternative are clear braces, named Invisalign, adults especially feel most at ease using these clear braces.
