WE all want perfect teeth, but most of us resist due to the discomfort, look and cost of normal braces. If that were to change, would you want it? Orthodontist Dr Rajesh Radhakrishnan of Royal Bahrain Hospital apparently has the perfect alternative--ClearPath Aligners.
“They’re removable medical grade plastic appliances, patients wear them rather than brackets and wires. These are the modern alternative to braces,” said Dr Rajesh.
He explains that through an impression, x-ray and photograph of the upper and lower teeth, a ‘photofit’ of the teeth and jaw structure is formed. A highly-trained technician works closely with the dentist to generate a model of the final look of the teeth and smile using a computer.
Aside from the obvious reasons to opt for this treatment – they’re invisible – the doctor says that patients need less chair time and shorter appointments as well as the fact that they’re more comfortable.
“This treatment is suitable for adults who want that perfect smile without the social repercussions of wearing braces,” he said.
The doctor says that in the majority of cases, aligners are used to straighten teeth, correct a smile and provide a fast discrete enhancement.
“I will warn that this is not a cure-all treatment, some significant issues may require treatment that is perhaps less comfortable to wear, but in the long run will provide far more sustainable results.”
