How Do Powerprox Six-Month Braces Work?
Like traditional braces, Powerprox braces put pressure on the teeth to gradually move them toward better positions. However, what makes Powerprox different is its use of high-tech archwires. These archwires have shape memory, meaning no matter how much they’ve been bent or twisted, they will always work to return to their original shape. As such, they put constant yet gentle pressure on the teeth, causing them to move faster than they would with traditional braces.
It should be noted that Powerprox braces come with clear brackets and tooth-colored wires, giving them a discreet appearance that makes it easier to show off your smile with confidence throughout the orthodontic process. On top of that, sometimes the brackets can be attached to the backs of your teeth, making them even less visible.
What Orthodontic Issues Can They Fix?
Powerprox braces may not be able to address bite problems, but they can still be used to correct a number of other orthodontic issues. You may be a potential candidate for Powerprox if you’re currently experiencing any of the following complications:
Crowded & Crooked Teeth
Teeth that are crooked or overly crowded together aren’t just embarrassing. They can make it harder to chew your food properly, and they can put you at a higher risk for oral health issues by being difficult to clean. Powerprox braces can correct the positions of your teeth so that they’re properly aligned.
Gapped Teeth
When your teeth are spaced too far apart, they create areas where food can easily become trapped, which can result in plaque buildup and increase your chances of suffering from gum disease. It’s often possible to close gaps between your teeth thanks to Powerprox braces.
Caring for Your Powerprox Six-Month Braces
When wearing Powerprox braces, you should focus on maintaining excellent oral hygiene by brushing thoroughly after every meal. Take the time to clean above and below each bracket. Flossing is also essential; if you’re having trouble getting the floss under the wires, try making use of a floss threader.
Be sure to follow any guidelines we give you regarding your diet during your orthodontic treatment. You’ll want to stay away from sticky, hard, crunchy, and chewy foods that can damage your brackets and wires.
At the end of the treatment, you’ll return to our office to have your Powerprox braces removed. This is a relatively simple process that can be completed in about five minutes. Afterwards, you’ll be given a retainer to ensure that your teeth stay in their new positions.
