Iverson Ortho Brings Back Beautiful Smiles

Jan. 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Arlington, VA – In 1997, Dr. Darin Iverson began practicing orthodontics, setting his own personal high standards of excellence. After earning his dental degree, he went on to earn his post-graduate certification specializing in orthodontics. The University of California Los Angeles School of Dentistry graduate is an esteemed member of the orthodontic community, including the American Board of Orthodontics.

Today, the good doctor operates Iverson Ortho, an orthodontics practice located in Arlington, VA. He achieves great success thanks to his dedication to keeping up-to-date with innovative products and procedures. In his efforts to help his patients get their beautiful smiles back, he has included three types of braces that help to improve their smiles: The Invisalign® System, Clarity™ Braces and Ceramic Braces.

1. Invisalign®

The Invisalign® System is a clear approach to braces. It uses a series of aligners, templates made of clear overlay. The aligners are used to move your teeth gradually, with the help of a computer simulation. Invisalign has become very popular with adult dental patients that have orthodontic bite issues.

With Invisalign, your teeth are straightened without using brackets and wires, like with traditional braces. The aligners are customized for each patient. They removable aligners are also clear, making them almost transparent to others.  

The Invisalign system is clearly an innovative approach to straightening teeth. It combines the science of orthodontics, now 100 years old, with 3D computer technology that uses advanced graphics. The aligners were designed to move the patient's teeth in baby steps until the desired position is achieved. There are various stages of a treatment plan. During each stage, every aligner is manufactured and precisely calibrated so that it fits your mouth comfortably.

The advanced technology allows treatment instructions to be sent by a computer. The instructions are then translated into a sequence of aligners to ensure the desired position of the teeth. The series can include anywhere from 12 to 48 aligners. The patient must wear each aligner for about two weeks, taking them out only to brush, floss and eat. Then, the aligner is replaced with the next one in the series. With each replacement, the teeth will continue to align themselves gradually.

Dr. Iverson warns that Invisalign is not the right approach for everyone. And, it's not recommended for children.

1. Clarity™ Braces

Clarity™ braces are translucent and much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. They are made with a combination of metal and ceramic materials. Patients like the attractiveness of the translucent appearance. They also appreciate how sturdy Clarity braces are thanks to the combined materials.

Because they're so sturdy, Dr. Iverson recommends them to his patients that are very active in sports. They give orthodontic patients the ability to participate in most of their usual everyday activities without having to worry about breaking or harming their braces.

Another great factor when it comes to Clarity braces is their color, which is actually semi-transparent. This means that they're barely noticeable by others. It also means that patients don't have to worry about them staining. They're said to be very comfortable thanks to their rounded, smooth shape.

2. Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are still a very popular choice for both adults and children who want straighter teeth. These braces are effective because they gently apply pressure to your teeth. This pressure forces your teeth to gradually move into the positions desired.

Ceramic braces are also made from clear, translucent materials. The one major drawback with these braces is that they're much more fragile than some others. They also require the use of elastic ties, which can become discolored in between visits to the orthodontist.
