We've got some great news about braces that you'll be pretty excited about. New research shows that the special way we put on braces at our practice could help you get them off months earlier than expected!
As an orthodontist committed to providing the most effective treatment options for my patients, I always stay current with the latest research in our field. A fascinating new study published in the European Journal of Orthodontics has shed light on the benefits of indirect bonding techniques in orthodontic treatment. Look here for the original article: https://doi.org/10.1093/ejo/cjae075
What's the Big Deal?
Scientists have just finished a huge study looking at different ways of putting on braces. At our practice, we use something called 3M Solventum Indirect Braces. Think of it like using a 3D printer for your braces - it's super precise and helps us get everything just right from the start.
The Cool Findings
Want to know the best part? The research found that using special techniques like our 3M Solventum system could help:
Get your braces off about 4 months earlier (that's a whole school term!)
Give you the same great smile as traditional braces
Make your appointments smoother and more comfortable
How Does It Work?
Imagine building a LEGO set. You could either place each brick one by one, trying to get them in exactly the right spot (that's like traditional braces), or you could use a special guide that shows you exactly where each piece goes (that's like our 3M Solventum system). Using the guide means you're more likely to get it right the first time!
Why We Use 3M Solventum
We chose these braces because they're:
Super precise (like having a GPS for your teeth!)
Really reliable (made by 3M, who you might know from Scotch tape and Post-it notes)
Proven to work well (backed by proper research)
What This Means for You
If you're thinking about getting braces, this could mean:
Less time wearing braces (more time showing off your new smile!)
The same great results as traditional braces
Comfortable and efficient appointments
