What is Invisalign in Plano?
Invisalign at Plano is the most well-known brand of clear aligners, which are essentially transparent and removable braces. The patient will wear them for at least 22 hours a day and take them out only to eat or clean their teeth. One advantage to Invisalign is that the patient doesn’t have to abide by the dietary restrictions of somebody wearing fixed braces; they may eat what they like.
Since the aligners are transparent, they are far less conspicuous than are traditional braces. Many patients also find them more comfortable than traditional braces.
The aligners are custom-made, and the patient will replace a set with a new set about every two weeks. Over time, the aligners will nudge the teeth into their correct positions and alignment.
What is sedation dentistry?
Many people, regardless of age, become anxious when faced by the prospect of going to the dentist. Sedation dentistry is a variety of treatments used to ease that anxiety and keep the patient calm and relaxed.
Nitrous oxide or laughing gas is the mildest method. The patient will wear a mask over their nose and breathe in the gas.
Oral sedation is stronger, so the patient will need to have somebody take them home after treatment. The patient will take a pill or liquid the night before their appointment, and they will take another dose just before their procedure.
IV sedation is the most powerful type. The dentist will use it on patients who suffer severe anxiety, are undergoing a long and complicated procedure, or both. The sedative will be delivered intravenously and a specialist will monitor the patient during treatment.
