NY</span></h1>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP1\">For teens, clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. Although traditional metal braces have been around for decades, clear aligners offer a virtually unnoticeable way to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.

Teens can benefit from their aesthetic appearance and <a title=\"Read more about Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7018497/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Alternative-to-Braces-for-Teens\">a more comfortable treatment experience</a>. Compared to other orthodontic options, clear aligners also cause less pain and reduce the number and length of appointments.</p>\n<p>With typical metal braces, teeth are moved to a new position using brackets with wires threaded through them. Clear aligners use a series of custom-molded trays that gently move the teeth into place. Patients will use each tray for a week or two before moving on to the next one in the series.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about explore the options\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Clear aligners use a series of custom-molded trays that gently move the teeth into place.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about save time straightening\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-clear-aligners-save-time-straightening\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Save Time Straightening</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Teens with busy lives can benefit from clear aligners since they can save time from the straightening process. Braces require frequent office visits to replace or adjust wires. That can mean taking time off of school and other activities. Clear aligners require less frequent office visits to ensure treatment is progressing. Other than that, the patient can switch out their aligners at home.</p>\n<p>In general, clear aligners also take less time overall to complete treatment. The one-piece trays provide force to all the teeth at once, while braces move each tooth individually. In some cases, clear aligners can trim as much as six months off the treatment time than traditional teen braces.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about save time straightening\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Teens with busy lives can benefit from clear aligners since they can save time straightening.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about feel better, look better\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-of-clear-aligners\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Feel Better, Look Better</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>One of the biggest differences between braces and clear aligners is their respective appearances. Many teens prefer the near-invisible design of clear aligners to the visible wires and brackets of metal braces. Clear aligners are less easy to detect, which can help teens feel less self-conscious and more positive about their appearance.</p>\n<p>There is also flexibility with clear aligners that traditional braces do not possess. Clear aligners are removable, which allows teens to eat and drink whatever they want. Since they are removable, is it also easier to brush and floss teeth to maintain optimal oral health. Keeping braces clean often requires additional tools and can take a lot of extra time.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about feel better, look better\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Many teens prefer the near-invisible design of clear aligners to the visible wires and brackets of metal braces.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Alternative to Braces for Teens services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Alternative to Braces for Teens in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Alternative-to-Braces-for-Teens\">Alternative to Braces for Teens in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"alternative-to-braces-for-teens v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about ease of use\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"clear-aligners-teens-physically-active\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Ease of Use</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Clear aligners are a great option for physically active teens.

Teeth should then be brushed and flossed before patients put back their aligners to prevent food particles from becoming trapped in the tray. Forgetting this step can lead to tooth decay and other concerns. When taken care of properly, clear aligners are less likely to cause cavities or tooth damage.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone to serve as the root of a replacement tooth. The titanium posts are later topped with the replacement tooth or teeth usually in the form of a crown, bridge, or denture.</p>\n<p>Individuals with missing or severely damaged teeth can achieve a more attractive smile and restore their oral health and function to an ideal level through dental implants. Unlike with dentures, there are no messy gluing and cleaning procedures and they do not have to be taken out at night.

Whether the missing tooth is the result of natural aging, a blow to the face or another cause, implants work well as a long-term replacement solution. For single tooth replacement, a dental crown will also be attached to the implant. The dental crown will provide the appearance of a natural tooth.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Multiple Missing Teeth</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Implants are also an option for multiple missing teeth, as well. For a section of two or more missing teeth, the dentist may recommend dental implants with a bridge attachment. For full arch replacement, it might be best to attach a full denture to surgically-placed implants in the jaw.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Severely Damaged Teeth</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Most dentists will try and save the natural tooth after damage occurs through dental crowns or another type of restoration. However, there are times when damaged or loose teeth are better off being removed and replaced with dental implants.

The dentist will consider the gum health, bone density, and overall health of the patient during the first visit.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Gum Health</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Natural teeth and dental implants work similarly, and they are both supported by the gums. If the gums are weak, eroded, or if the patient has periodontal disease, then the implant may not hold the way it should long-term. Implants are still an option with poor gum health, but additional treatment is likely necessary.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Bone Density</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Dental implants replace the teeth while also preserving the natural bone. However, the jaw needs the proper amount of bone dentistry to support the dental implant. The jawbone is also essential for a firm hold of the implant, abutment, and artificial tooth. After tooth loss occurs, the bone inside the jaw begins to lose its density. Over time, this can result in the need for a bone grafting procedure to rebuild the strength and density of the jawbone. Once the jawbone is strong enough, we will begin the process.</p>\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">General Health</h3>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>The implant process also involves a minor surgical procedure to place the dental implant inside the jawbone. As is the case with any surgery, the patient should be willing and able to go through the process. This procedure  is slightly more invasive than other replacement solutions.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 dental-implant-candidate v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"dental-implant-candidate v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about signs that a dentist looks for\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"The dentist will consider the gum health, bone density, and overall health of the patient during the first visit.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 dental-implant-candidate v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"dental-implant-candidate v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"dental-implant-candidate-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Candidate-for-Dental-Implants\">Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS dental-implant-candidate v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"dental-implant-candidate v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the procedure\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"how-long-implant-procedure-take\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Procedure</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>A dental implant procedure <a title=\"Read more about Dental implant surgery\" href=\"https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/dental-implant-surgery/about/pac-20384622\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Candidate-for-Dental-Implants\">can take many months</a> because it involves multiple procedures that require healing time in between.

While teeth and jaw alignment is important when determining if a patient is a candidate, most dentists can provide dental implants to patients with less than ideal teeth alignment. The first step will be to complete specific procedures to help prepare the mouth before the dental implant procedure.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What might inhibit a patient from being a candidate for dental implants?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">A significant loss of bone density may make dental implants a less desirable solution for patients who prefer not to go through bone grafting.

Botox is a neurotoxin that targets the nervous system and disrupts the nerve signaling processes that cause muscle contraction. Without this muscle contraction, the muscles are less stiff. Medical professionals inject the drug into the face to paralyze or weaken the muscles and block nerves.</p>\n<p>Although the Botulinum toxin is dangerous by itself, Botox is safe and has few side effects when administered by a professional in a therapeutic context. Manufacturers use small doses of the Botulinum toxin to make Botox before injecting it into the skin to treat various conditions. To administer this treatment, medical professionals dilute the Botulinum toxin powder with saline and inject it into the neuromuscular tissue. <a title=\"Read more about Botulinum toxin (Botox) A for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles: a literature review of clinical use and pharmacological aspect \" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6489637/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Botox\"> This study</a> in the Clinical, Cosmetic and, Investigational Dermatology journal found that the injection can help relax and soften wrinkles and reduce the appearance of fine lines.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 botox v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"botox v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding what botox is\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Botox is a neurotoxin that targets the nervous system and disrupts the nerve signaling processes that cause muscle contraction.</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 botox v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"botox v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about determining botox candidacy\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"right-candidate-for-botox\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Determining Botox Candidacy</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Botox is an excellent option for those who want an effective yet minimally invasive cosmetic treatment.

However, everyone\'s facial lines form differently due to a combination of factors, including genetics and the environment. Patients should be healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding.

During the procedure, the medical practitioner will choose several injection sites on the face to inject using a small needle. Injections take about 15 to 30 minutes to administer in one appointment. Some swelling, redness and bruising are normal after the appointment. Botox treatment requires little recovery, so most patients can return to their regular routine right away.</p>\n<p>The study above also found that the results of Botox are quick, with clinical effects appearing one to four days after injection. A few days after the injections, patients can see a smoother facial appearance, and any bruising or swelling should disappear. The results will last three to 12 months, depending on the type of treatment the patient received. Since this is a temporary treatment, Botox® starts to lose effect after four to six months, and wrinkles and fine lines will return. Scheduling top-up appointments at around four months keeps the face looking refreshed.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 botox v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"botox v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the botox injection process\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">Individuals commonly get Botox to target forehead lines, crow\'s feet, and frown lines around the mouth.</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 botox v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"botox v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Botox\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<!-- <p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

Each type of cracked tooth shows different symptoms. Craze lines have tiny, painless cracks in the teeth enamel, and they typically do not require any treatment. Fractured cusps usually occur around dental fillings without affecting the tooth’s pulp, and they are generally painless. Usually, teeth with cracks that have reached the gum line require immediate extraction; however, they may still be salvageable if the crack has yet to reach the gum line.</p>\n<p>Split teeth have cracks extending from the surface to below the gum line and can typically be separated into at least two segments. Such teeth generally cannot be saved as a whole. Teeth with vertical root fractures have cracks that begin from below the gum line and extend upwards. With all types of cracked teeth, patients may experience pain when chewing or biting, tooth sensitivity, swelling of the gum around the affected tooth, and intermittent pain.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about symptoms of a cracked tooth\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"With all types of cracked teeth, patients may experience pain when chewing or biting, tooth sensitivity, swelling of the gum around the affected tooth, and intermittent pain.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about cracked tooth syndrome (CTS)\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"risk-for-cracked-tooth\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Cracked Tooth Syndrome (CTS)</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Cracked tooth syndrome, <a title=\"Read more about Cracked Tooth Syndrome 101\" href=\"https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health/cracked-tooth-syndrome/what-to-know-about-a-cracked-tooth/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Can-a-Cracked-Tooth-be-Saved-with-a-Root-Canal\">abbreviated to CTS for short</a>, is a condition in which a patient has a crack in their tooth that is too small to be seen on an X-ray. Alternatively, the patient’s tooth may have a crack that is difficult to locate due to it being under the gum. CTS most commonly affects molars, and its most common symptoms include tooth sensitivity and pain or discomfort when biting down. CTS pain is unlike cavity pain in that it is not persistent; instead, it comes and goes intermittently.</p>\n<p>There is no singular cause of CTS. However, specific populations may be more prone to CTS than others. Patients with malocclusions that cause them to put excess pressure on one tooth, patients who grind or clench their teeth, patients with large fillings, or patients who have undergone root canal treatment are all more likely to have CTS than their counterparts. Furthermore, as CTS is also one of the most challenging dental problems to diagnose, patients may experience unexplained symptoms for months.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about cracked tooth syndrome (CTS)\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"...as CTS is also one of the most challenging dental problems to diagnose, patients may experience unexplained symptoms for months.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about cracked teeth & root canals\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"save-my-cracked-tooth\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Cracked Teeth & Root Canals</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p><a title=\"Read more about Treatment options\" href=\"https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/322015#treatment-options\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Can-a-Cracked-Tooth-be-Saved-with-a-Root-Canal\">As stated by MedicalNewsToday</a>, the best treatment method for a cracked tooth is dependent on its location and the extent of its damage. Some, like teeth with tiny cracks that do not cause any pain or discomfort, may be minor enough to not require treatment. Minor treatment options include glue, plastic resin (also known as bonding), fillings, or crowns. For more severe cases, root canal treatment may be necessary.</p>\n<p>During a root canal procedure, the endodontist removes any infected or inflamed pulp. They then clean and shape the inside of the root canal before filling it. Afterward, a crown is placed on the tooth’s cap to protect and fully restore its functionality. Once restored, the treated tooth will continue to function as any other natural tooth.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about cracked teeth & root canals\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"... the best treatment method for a cracked tooth is dependent on its location and the extent of its damage.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Can a Cracked Tooth be Saved with a Root Canal and Crown services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Can a Cracked Tooth be Saved with a Root Canal and Crown in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Can-a-Cracked-Tooth-be-Saved-with-a-Root-Canal\">Can a Cracked Tooth be Saved with a Root Canal and Crown in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"can-a-cracked-tooth-be-saved-with-a-root-canal v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about when a cracked tooth is beyond repair\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"cannot-save-my-cracked-tooth\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">When a Cracked Tooth Is Beyond Repair</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Cracked teeth that are not treated in time may eventually cause pulp necrosis, a condition in which the tissue inside the teeth dies.

Some pain or discomfort may follow most cracked tooth treatment options; however, this should be easily managed with painkillers (either prescribed or over-the-counter).

CEREC restoration benefits include the following:</p>\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\n<li><b>Better fit:</b>CAD/CAM systems produce high-quality restorations. The process eliminates errors as the system relies on the precise digital data that it collects. When compared to CEREC, the laboratory process is more prone to having subjective or human errors.</li>\n<li><b>Better product:</b>The manufacturing process results in a one-unit restoration piece rather than separate pieces. This single-unit process is especially beneficial for bridges and other multi-piece appliances. It also adds to the durability and strength of the finished piece.</li>\n<li><b>Faster process:</b>CEREC software allows dentists to see three-dimensional images created from oral scans. Based on this information, the dentist uses the system to design the restoration piece with the necessary bite adjustments. The CAM unit then creates the appliance using the finalized design.</li>\n</ul>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 cerec-dentist v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"cerec-dentist v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits of CEREC technology\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"CEREC technology rivals the lost-wax casting method, which uses wax to make a second mold for the dental restoration piece.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 cerec-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"cerec-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about CEREC is the healthier option for dental health\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"affect-my-dental-health\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">CEREC Is the Healthier Option for Dental Health</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>A CEREC restoration is not only the quicker, more convenient option; it is also the healthier option.

Patients should avoid chewy, sticky, and hard foods for up to two days after receiving a CEREC restoration to allow the cement to harden. Teeth may feel sensitive for as many as two weeks afterward, but pain medication may ease this discomfort.</p>\n<p>Regular, twice-daily brushing and flossing is the best way to ensure the longevity of any restoration, as well as existing teeth. Crowns and other dental restorations can last for several years with proper care and bi-annual checkups. We recommend patients inform their providers as soon as they notice any changes or concerns with their restoration, no matter how small.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 cerec-dentist v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"cerec-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about what to expect after receiving CEREC care\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Regular, twice-daily brushing and flossing is the best way to ensure the longevity of any restoration, as well as existing teeth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 cerec-dentist v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"cerec-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to CEREC® Dentist\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is a temporary crown necessary?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Temporary crowns are put in place while waiting for the dental lab to produce the final crown. CEREC technology allows dentists to skip this waiting period and create the crown in the office. Patients can often leave with a crown after one visit.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Does it hurt?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The patient may have a local anesthetic applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. There is also minimal tissue disruption when the cosmetic dentist cements the dental restoration into place. Patients may experience minor sensitivity for a few days.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How should I care for my CEREC restoration?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Patients may resume regular brushing and flossing. Avoid biting on hard objects like pens or nutshells that can damage the crown. Like regular teeth, your CEREC restoration can sustain damage or fracture from such actions.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Is the material comparable to that used in labs?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes, CEREC restorations are made of high-quality ceramics. Dental restorations created in dental labs incorporate the same grade of ceramics, as well as metal. The CAD/CAM system used in CEREC restorations uses ceramics to create a single-block restoration.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can people tell that I have a restoration?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">CEREC restorations are entirely ceramic, without any metal underlay to darken the translucence. During the process, the dental restoration will match the tooth color to the restoration. The result is a tooth that is indistinguishable from others.</span></p>\n</span>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPFAQ cerec-dentist v1 Service Page FAQ -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-primary section-block SPVUT\" id=\"cerec-dentist v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Maps, directions, and QR code to help you visit University Dental Associates\"><!-- Service Page Visit Us Today -->\n<!-- Call-out block -->\n<style>\n.nav-image {\ndisplay: inline-block;\n}\n.img-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.icon-width {\nwidth: 70%;\n}\n.qr-styling {\nwidth: 60%;\n}\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 14px;\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.img-width, .icon-width {\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.qr-styling {\nmargin-top: 25px;\nwidth: 100%;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 601px) {\n.spacing {\nmargin-top: 20px;\n}\n}\n@media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {\n.fix-wrap-row {\nflex-wrap: wrap;\n}\n.fix-wrap-column {\nflex-basis: 100%;\n}\n}\n</style>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12\">\n<a name=\"dentist-the-bronx-ny\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Quality Dental Services Can Transform Your Smile</h2>\n<p class=\"center-align\">By visiting us as soon as possible, our team can help get you the professional treatment you need.

The sharp metal can irritate the mouth and gums. Clear aligners are different. These appliances are made of smooth, durable plastic.</p>\r\n<p>Aligners gently guide and straighten teeth to provide a brighter smile. Unlike braces, aligners are discreet and fully removable. Patients can take their aligners out for special events like weddings, graduation, or proms.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 clear-aligners v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about understanding clear aligners\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Unlike braces, aligners are discreet and fully removable.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 clear-aligners v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the benefits of clear aligners\"><!-- Section 2 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"clear-aligners-compare-traditional-braces\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Benefits of Clear Aligners</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>Aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces. For instance, clear aligners are:</p>\r\n<ul class=\"bullet-list\">\r\n<li>Removable</li>\r\n<li>Discreet</li>\r\n<li>Smooth and nonabrasive</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Unlike metal braces, clear aligners will not irritate sensitive mouth tissues. Patients who opt for aligners can also skip tedious dietary restrictions. Those who choose braces may have to <a title=\"Read more about Foods You Can and Shouldn’t Eat If You Have Braces\" href=\"https://www.healthline.com/health/what-can-you-eat-with-braces\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Clear-Aligners\">avoid hard candy and sticky treats</a>. With aligners, however, one can simply remove the trays to enjoy their favorite foods.</p>\r\n<p>Keep in mind that aligners are not suitable for everyone. For example, aligners are not an appropriate option for young children whose mouths are still developing. Dental providers generally recommend clear aligners for patients who have already achieved their adult jaw size and shape.</p>\r\n<p>Clear aligners cannot fix every dental concern. Some complex issues may require traditional braces or headgear. We can provide in-depth guidance. If clear aligners are not an option, we can help select an alternate treatment.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 clear-aligners v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the benefits of clear aligners\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Dental providers generally recommend clear aligners for patients who have already achieved their adult jaw size and shape.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 clear-aligners v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about consistency is key\"><!-- Section 3 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"how-often-wear-clear-aligners\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Consistency is Key</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>Patients must wear clear aligners for <a title=\"Read more about Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners\" href=\"https://www.aaoinfo.org/blog/orthodontic-treatment-with-clear-aligners/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Clear-Aligners\">20-22 hours per day</a>. Patients who reach this target enjoy a faster treatment and more consistent results. Most providers recommend removing the aligners only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Patients can expect to wear their aligners overnight, too.</p>\r\n<p>Complying with treatment can be a roadblock for some patients, especially teens. Patients who tend to snack or sip coffee throughout the day may have trouble keeping their aligners in place. However, removing the aligners for several hours each day can reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.</p>\r\n<p>Before investing in clear aligners, patients must be realistic about their limitations. This involves considering their lifestyle and personal habits. If they suspect that they may have trouble sticking to the treatment plan, braces might be a better choice.</p>\r\n</div><!-- /.col -->\r\n</div><!-- /.row -->\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 clear-aligners v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about consistency is key\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\r\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"... removing the aligners for several hours each day can reduce the effectiveness of your treatment.\"</h3>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 clear-aligners v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Clear Aligners services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\r\n<p id=\"clear-aligners-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Clear Aligners in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Clear-Aligners\">Clear Aligners in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\r\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS clear-aligners v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\r\n\r\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"clear-aligners v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about what to expect from treatment\"><!-- Section 4 -->\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\r\n<a name=\"clear-aligner-treatment-process\"></a>\r\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">What to Expect from Treatment</h2>\r\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\r\n<p>Once a patient opts for clear aligners, our team begins by taking impressions of the mouth.

inconspicuously. This type of teeth alignment adjuster is also known as clear wire braces or ceramic braces. Clear braces are an alternative to traditional metal braces to straighten teeth. They provide aesthetic benefits and health-related ones.</p>\n<p class=\"DGspeakableP2\">There are numerous factors to consider when choosing the right type of braces. It is important to do your research to determine if you are the right candidate for clear braces. Clear braces are available at University Dental Associates in The Bronx and the surrounding area.

A wire made from metal or a white material connects the brackets. Over time, the wire pulls the teeth in different directions to straighten them. The <a title=\"Read more about how orthodontic treatment works\" href=\"https://www.aaoinfo.org/blog/parent-s-guide-post/how-orthodontic-treatment-works/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Clear-Braces\">American Association of Orthodontists</a> explains that this movement occurs because of the bone tissue rebuilding process.</p>\n<p>Clear braces take around 12 to 36 months to straighten teeth. Clear braces may take longer than metal braces to work because they consist of more fragile materials. The brackets on clear braces are replaced often to prevent breakage from pressure as teeth move. Low-quality ceramic braces can cause the brackets to break, resulting in an extended treatment time.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS1 clear-braces v1 Service Page Section 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ1\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about how clear braces work\"><!-- Pull quote block 1 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Clear braces consist of plastic or ceramic brackets glued to each tooth.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ1 clear-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 1 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS2\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about candidates for clear braces\"><!-- Section 2 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"candidate-for-clear-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Candidates For Clear Braces</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>Clear braces are a good option for those who want to wear braces without feeling self-conscious. Candidates should have all their adult teeth and have stopped growing, as ceramic braces can break if there is too much movement. This recommendation means most teenagers and adults are eligible for this type of alignment.</p>\n<p>Children are often not good candidates for clear braces, as their mouths are still developing. Those who have more complex issues of the teeth, bite, and mouth should look into a more traditional option. Ceramic is less durable than metal, so those involved in extracurricular activities that involve a lot of mouth movement or contact sports may want to consider more durable metal braces.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS2 clear-braces v1 Service Page Section 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ2\" id=\"clear-braces v1\"  role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about candidates for clear braces\"><!-- Pull quote block 2 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"Clear braces are a good option for those who want to wear braces without feeling self-conscious.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ2 clear-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 2 -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS3\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about benefits and drawbacks of clear braces\"><!-- Section 3 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"benefits-and-drawbacks-of-clear-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">Benefits and Drawbacks of Clear Braces</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>There are benefits and drawbacks to clear braces that candidates should consider. Clear braces provide cosmetic benefits as they are less noticeable on teeth than traditional metal braces. They are less visible because the ceramic material is either tooth-colored or clear. Clear braces work faster than clear aligners, which can take one year or longer to straighten teeth.</p>\n<p>Although clear braces are less conspicuous, the material used is more fragile than traditional metal braces. This fragility means a bracket may crack during the process and need replacement. A <a title=\"Read more about Comparison of Bond Strength of Metal and Ceramic Brackets Bonded with Conventional and High-Power LED Light Curing Units\" href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5318499/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" class=\"TLBC\" id=\"ALR-Clear-Braces\">2016 study</a> found that clear braces are more than twice as likely to break than metal braces. Another potential drawback is that clear bracket ties can stain easily. Patients should avoid this by brushing and flossing after every meal, avoiding foods and drinks that cause discoloration, and not smoking or using whitening toothpaste.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS3 clear-braces v1 Service Page Section 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ3\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about benefits and drawbacks of clear braces\"><!-- Pull quote block 3 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"There are benefits and drawbacks to clear braces that candidates should consider.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ3 clear-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 3 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out center-align bg-tertiary SPBS\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Invitation to view what others are saying about our Clear Braces services\"><!-- Service Page Barnacle -->\n<p id=\"clear-braces-yelp-reviews-the-bronx-ny\"><i class=\"fa fa-yelp fa-lg\"></i> Check out what others are saying about our dental services on Yelp: <a title=\"Search Yelp for Clear Braces in The Bronx, NY\" href=\"https://www.yelp.com/biz/university-dental-associates-bronx\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"TLBC text-contrast\" id=\"CLYP-Clear-Braces\">Clear Braces in The Bronx, NY</a></p>\n</section><!-- /.end SPBS clear-braces v1 Service Page Barnacle SEO -->\n\n<section class=\"main-service-content section-block bg-mute SPS4\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Passage about the stages of getting clear braces\"><!-- Section 4 -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<a name=\"steps-to-get-clear-braces\"></a>\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast\">The Stages of Getting Clear Braces</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p>People getting clear braces will often make a series of visits to the orthodontist. The purpose of these visits is to determine a treatment plan, place the braces on the patient, and make any necessary adjustments. This process occurs over numerous stages:</p>\n<ol class=\"browser-default\">\n<li><b>Initial Visit:</b> The orthodontist will do a dental exam, take X-Rays, and discuss the patient’s goals. The orthodontist will develop a treatment plan with this information. During this visit, an impression of the teeth helps with the design of the braces.</li>\n<li><b>Pre-placement visit:</b>Not everyone will need this appointment. Patients who have excessive crowding may need one or more teeth extracted to make room in the mouth. Before the placement of the braces, patients may need additional periodontal work.</li>\n<li><b>Placement of the braces:</b> The teeth will be cleaned, conditioned, and primed for the brackets. The impression mold determines the bracket position before cementing them on. We then insert a wire through the brackets.</li>\n<li><b>Adjustments:</b> Depending on the exact type of clear braces, patients may need to come in for regular adjustments of the wire. The patient will usually visit monthly for the readjustment. The new wire helps to continue the process of moving the teeth. These visits continue until the desired outcome is reached.</li>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS4 clear-braces v1 Service Page Section 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ4\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about the stages of getting clear braces\"><!-- Pull quote block 4 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"People getting clear braces will often make a series of visits to the orthodontist.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ4 clear-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 4 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-primary SPQ\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Questions closely related to Clear Braces\"><!-- Service Page Questions -->\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Questions Answered on This Page</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <a title=\"Q.

While clear aligners provide a smooth, plastic design, clear braces provide the durability that comes with traditional braces. This allows clear braces to be both sturdy and discreet without the fragility and wear-and-tear of plastic.</p>\n<p>Another difference between clear braces and aligners is their treatment time. Clear braces may require a slight increase in treatment time compared to traditional metal braces, but they typically require less than clear aligners because of the constant force being applied on the teeth. Lastly, clear braces cannot be removed for eating and drinking as clear aligners can, making it more difficult to keep up oral hygiene. However, patients undergoing clear braces treatment are given detailed instructions on care and maintenance practices for both the braces and teeth themselves.</p>\n</div><!-- /.col -->\n</div><!-- /.row -->\n</section><!-- /.end SPS5 clear-braces v1 Service Page Section 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"call-out bg-secondary SPPQ5\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Pull quote from passage about difference between clear braces and clear aligners\"><!-- Pull quote block 5 -->\n<h3 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\">\"While clear aligners provide a smooth, plastic design, clear braces provide the durability that comes with traditional braces.\"</h3>\n</section><!-- /.end SPPQ5 clear-braces v1 Service Page Pull Quote 5 -->\n\n<section class=\"faq-section section-block bg-mute SPFAQ\" id=\"clear-braces v1\" role=\"contentinfo\" aria-label=\"Frequently asked questions related to Clear Braces\"><!-- Service Page FAQ -->\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col s12 m12 l12\">\n<h2 itemprop=\"alternativeHeadline\" class=\"text-contrast center-align\">Frequently Asked Questions</h2>\n<div class=\"divider divider-solid\"></div>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">How do clear braces differ from metal ones?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">The two types are similar in that they are connected by a wire using brackets attached to each tooth. While an orthodontist needs to adjust the wires of metal braces regularly, this is not necessarily the case with clear ones if they contain technology that automatically adjusts. Clear braces are more fragile and typically make adjustments more slowly than metal ones.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">What is the difference between clear braces and clear aligners?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Clear braces use brackets and wires to move teeth. Clear aligners are customized mouthpieces. Typically patients whose dental issues are less severe get aligners.

Patients should always brush their braces and teeth after eating. It is also important to floss, using an interdental cleaner or floss threader. Patients should also avoid certain foods such as hard, chewy, acidic, and crunchy foods.</span></p>\n</span>\n<span  itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Question\">\n<p class=\"questions text-contrast\"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop=\"name\">Can clear braces help with gaps in the teeth?</span></p>\n<p class=\"answers\" itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https://schema.org/Answer\">\n<span>A.</span> <span itemprop=\"text\">Yes, clear braces can help with tooth gaps. Patients who have minor or moderate gaps can get effective results with this type of braces.
