[Music] having crooked teeth and a less than perfect smile can lead to a lack of confidence both in children and adults but the idea of wearing braces raises concern about discomfort and frequent visits to the orthodontist and long treatment times hi guys braces are okay for adults and children and now there's a new system that can take away the worries about discomfort and inconvenience it's the Innovation R system when I saw my daughter smiling um it was a labor type of smile and she had her fingers in front of her mouth and I saw that she was a little bit disappointed when she saw some of her friends smiling with perfect teeth and as a parent I wanted I wanted to do something positive and we thought about braces for my daughter Alexandra at the heart of the system is the advanced design of the Innovation R brackets these exceptionally small braces have a low profile and rounded edges to provide the most Comfort possible unlike traditional braces that use unsanitary elastics or unattractive metal ties to tightly bind the arch wire to the braces and force the teeth into position causing a great deal of discomfort Innovation eliminates them with a patented clip that holds the wire in place and makes wire changes quick and easy your Innovation braces are easy to wear and since changing wires takes much less time your appointments will be quicker in fact studies show that Innovation reduces the time patients spend in the orthodontist Chair by more than 1/3 Innovation RS free sliding wire technology places little to no pressure on your teeth guiding them gently and naturally into their proper position your treatment time will be shorter and you will need fewer visits compared to traditional braces treatment with Innovation finishes equivalent cases approximately 4 months sooner and Innovation patients average about 40% fewer appointments than those who choose treatment with old style braces and ties our doctor wanted to do what he thought was best for Alexander's best interest and he decided that Innovation products would be wonderful for her and we just went with the doctor recommendation and we're very happy and pleased with it you may have heard of other systems that also use free sliding sometimes called passive Technology Innovation however is a Next Generation system that delivers a level of perfection that the older systems simply cannot provide here is an example of a patient with a severe Gap problem between his upper and lower teeth which prevents him from chewing properly using actual photographs taken during his treatment this animation shows how his teeth quickly move moved into proper position and here are the results notice how correcting his teeth has also helped improve the overall shape and symmetry of his facial features the day I got my braces was the best time in my life I was able to I wasn't worried about my senior pictures in the yearbook worry about my prom pictures all my friends were happy for me this is Alexandra before she began treatment with Innovation R again we see how Innovation R gently moved her teeth into a beautiful new [Music] alignment and here are Alexandra's radiant results it was so exciting to go to the orthodontist and I went in the morning and I came to school afterwards and everyone was like oh my God your teeth looks so nice oh my God you got your braces off here are more examples that demonstrate the results that can be achieved with Innovation R and the effect that properly aligned teeth can have on your smile and your appearance at any age all in all my experience with Innovation was just really really great it's easy to see why so many people who want to correct their smiles are selecting Innovation R it requires fewer adjustments so you have more time between office visits and shorter appointments overall treatment time is faster too and the process is really quite comfortable if the thought of wearing oldfashioned braces with unappealing elas Plastics and ties has prevented you from improving a smile in the past then Innovation R might be the perfect solution for you or your child to find out if the Innovation R system is right for your family simply ask your orthodontist Innovation R is your choice for a beautiful smile [Music]
For about one hundred years, braces have existed in some form or another. Traditional braces that practitioners bonded (glued) on the teeth became available in the 1970s, revolutionizing orthodontics. Having brackets on teeth was easier and more hygienic for patients.
Another innovation to bracket design began to surface in the late 90s. Self-ligating orthodontic bracket arrived in the orthodontic mainstream. Over 10 years of perfecting this system has now provided a truly efficient, reliable self-ligating bracket system. Dr. Fotovat stands in the forefront of orthodontic advances by offering GAC In-Ovation braces self-ligating brackets.
With traditional braces, open slots are available, and the arch-wire, which moves the tooth, is tied into the bracket by placing a metal, or elastomeric, tie. Traditional braces work less efficiently than In-Ovation braces brackets because the ties around the brackets create friction and do not allow the arch wire to move freely in the bracket slot. This friction stops the wire from fully expressing itself, so the tooth can only move so far. The slower tooth movement forces your orthodontist to activate the wire more often, which increases the force ratio onto the tooth and adds to the frequency of visits needed for the orthodontic activation.
Because In-Ovation braces self-ligating brackets have a self closing “door” built into the bracket, this patented design dramatically reduces the frictional forces exerted onto the arch wire that shifts the teeth as well as reducing potential plaque accumulation. With less friction, patients have a more efficient system to move their teeth, requiring less force and fewer visits. Overall, you will experience less discomfort, fewer trips to the orthodontist, and faster results.
In-Ovation braces self ligating brackets look great and are comfortable to wear.These brackets are smaller and have a lower profile than other self- ligating brackets. Without elastic or wire ties, you will have cleaner teeth and less irritation.
