Dana Point Dentists

By Anna Grange


Are you one of the 75 million Baby Boomers? Have you spent years indulging in tobacco, drinking coffee, sodas and the occasional red wine at night to unwind? I bet when you look in the mirror and smile your not to happy with what looks back at you. You can change all that for a fraction of the cost to you. You don't have to go to the Dana Point dentist and pay the high prices for whitening your teeth.

Living up to its name, clear braces are virtually invisible. They are made of implantable grade polyurethane and allergic reactions to the material have been extremely rare. Wearers won't feel embarrassed about having to sport unsightly wires just to straighten their teeth. You can remove clear braces when needed, such as when attending a special occasion or when having a formal photograph taken. You don't have to be one of those who hide their smiles during a photo shoot because of a mouthful of steel.

This may be fine if you haven't "spent" any of your cover up until that point but what if you have run out of cover? Thankfully there is an affordable dental plan that will keep your smile in tip top shape even if you have spent your maximum in that year on your dental insurance policy. A discount dental policy can cover the out of pocket costs on top of your existing policy, so you don't have to pay the full out of pocket expense.

These plans are a great way to supplement an existing policy but can be used as a stand alone affordable dental coverage as well. Some of the great things about a plan like this is that there is no maximum annual limit and it is ready to use within 3 business days of purchasing. That means no waiting for six to twelve months for dental attention that you desperately need now.

In a particular study, those who wore traditional metal appliances logged an average of almost 3 years with their braces while Invisalign wearers only needed about 12-18 months to have their teeth restructured. Of course, despite all the wonderful advantages of clear Braces, it still has disadvantages. For one, the price is a bit steep - from about $3,500 for the simple cases to about $5,000 for the more complicated cases. The types of dental conditions it can correct are also rather limited. Clear braces would not be able to move teeth in the vertical dimension or rotate some teeth, such as premolars with rounded shapes. They can also become damaged if the wearer unconsciously grinds his or teeth while sleeping, but one can always re-order a new appliance. Check with Dana Point dentists for more information.
