Are Clear Plastic Braces for You?

Everyone calls these types of braces Invisalign.

However, another product is out on the market that
does the exact same thing except less expensive.
This product is called Clear Correct.
The trays are still clear.
Your teeth still move.
You can still take them out.
If you have orthodontic insurance you are still covered.

So are there any differences?
Yes

You pay less.

Are dental implants safe?

Yes.

The question of safety with dental implants is one that seems to persist
among the general population.

Perhaps a lack of news coverage is responsible for this.

Someone getting a heart or lung replaced gets a lot more attention
(as it should) then replacing a tooth.

So lets see if this helps.
This is a picture of an artificial heart.



This is a diagram of a real heart.




This is a diagram of the lungs.

All 3 of these items are very complex.
Yet doctors, very successfully, place (transplant) these items into patients all the time.


Below you will see a diagram of a tooth implant.

Yup, that's it.
Its a titanium screw.
No moving parts are pieces.
Far less complex then the heart or the lung.

The point.
Please please please do not be afraid of dental implants.
Replacing severely broken teeth with implants is safe and simple.

If you think you may be a candidate simply talk to your dentist
about implants and if they are right for you.
