Invisalign is a clear, customized, and virtually invisible orthodontic treatment option. It uses a series of transparent aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their proper position without the need for metal brackets and wires.
Traditional braces, on the other hand, are made from metal and come with brackets that attach to your teeth. Wires and elastic bands connect the brackets and pull your teeth into alignment.
Invisalign treatment typically takes around 12-18 months to complete, depending on factors like your initial misalignment and the complexity of your case. Your dentist will determine the specific timeline for your treatment.
The cost of Invisalign treatment may vary depending on factors such as the severity of your misalignment and the number of aligners needed. It's essential to consult with a dentist at The Culver Marina Dental Group for an accurate estimate based on your specific case.
Before starting your Invisalign treatment, it's crucial to maintain good oral hygiene habits and avoid smoking, chewing gum, and consuming hard foods. Additionally, be sure to schedule regular checkups with our dentists at The Culver Marina Dental Group to ensure your aligners are fitting correctly and your teeth are responding well to the treatment.
Therapeutic botox® treatment is a non-surgical procedure that involves injecting a small amount of botulinum toxin into specific muscles to temporarily reduce their activity. This can help alleviate symptoms associated with certain dental conditions, such as TMJ disorder or headaches.
Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein that has been used for centuries to produce a medicine called botulinum toxin type A. When injected into muscles, it blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, thereby reducing muscle activity.
Therapeutic botox® treatment can provide relief from symptoms such as headaches, migraines, and TMJ disorder by targeting specific muscles that cause these issues.
The effects of therapeutic botox® treatment typically last between 3 and 6 months. However, the duration may vary depending on factors such as the individual's medical history and the severity of their condition.
While most people experience mild to no side effects from therapeutic botox® treatment, there can be some potential risks. These may include:
