Vancouver Orthodontist Discusses the Need for an Invisalign-Trained Provider

Vancouver BC - “Invisalign invisible braces have been used by more than 1 million patients and they enjoy a 96% client satisfaction rate,” reveals Vancouver orthodontist Dr. Aly Kanani. Invisalign aligners are custom made using exact calculations for each individual patient. Each patient has a series of aligners that will be switched by the orthodontist every two weeks. Over time, your teeth will move to reveal the smile you've been looking for.

It’s important, however, that these aligners be fitted for you by a trained and experienced Invisalign provider. First of all, you want someone you have a good rapport with, who can understand your needs and give you the outcome you’re seeking. But you also want to look for an Invisalign Preferred Provider, points out Kanani, a Vancouver orthodontics provider. Preferred Providers have achieved a level of clinical training, continuing education, and experience in treating patients with the Invisalign system.

Align Technology, Inc., makers of Invisalign, requires its providers to meet Invisalign continuing education requirements every year. As with any innovative technique, regular work with the Invisalign system and ongoing education are essential factors in developing proficiency.
Selecting an Invisalign Preferred Provider ensures that your orthodontist has met the annual requirements and has made a commitment to maintaining the understanding of Invisalign that creates beautiful smiles.

Some orthodontists have distinguished themselves with an even higher level of Invisalign experience and are recognized as Premier Providers or even Premier Providers Elite. Vancouver Invisalign provider Dr. Kanani is a 2010 Premier Provider Elite, meaning that the level of his Invisalign experience is in the top 1% of doctors in North America.

The list below details the steps in acquiring Invisalign invisible braces. “These steps demonstrate how important it is to work with an experienced Invisalign provider,” says Kanani, a Vancouver BC provider of invisible braces.

1. Your orthodontist will ascertain if you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment. Then he or she will develop an individualized treatment plan and will take impressions and pictures of your teeth.
2. The impressions will be digitized so the orthodontist will be able to show you how the aligners will move your teeth over time. He or she will be able to show you before and after images so you can see what your final smile will look like.
3. A custom set of 20-30 aligners will be created for use during your course of treatment.
4. You will need to wear your aligners all the time, except when brushing your teeth, eating or drinking. You will need to visit your orthodontist regularly to switch out the aligners. New aligners may cause some discomfort, but it is minimal and brief.
5. At each visit, you will be able to see your new smile moving into place. Soon you will have the results you’re looking for!

Surrey Orthodontist Discusses Losing Baby Teeth and Early Orthodontics

Surrey, BC -- When your child loses his or her first tooth it’s a big rite of passage. But in addition to leaving money, the Tooth Fairy should also remind parents that it’s a good time to emphasize the importance of good dental care.
“Those new teeth must last for the rest of your child’s life,” says Surrey orthodontist Dr. Aly Kanani.

You may not know this, but baby teeth fall out in the order in which they first grew in. The front two bottom teeth- the lower central incisors- are the first to go, followed by the front two upper teeth. Most children start losing teeth by 6 or 7, and girls are usually earlier than boys. All baby teeth are usually gone by age 13. Most children experience no pain with losing baby teeth. But if erupting molars give them discomfort, you can give them acetaminophen or a topical pain killer.

“When your child has a loose tooth, tell them they can wiggle it carefully. But they shouldn’t try to pull it out before it’s ready,” says Kanani, a Surrey invisible braces provider. “If you remove a tooth prematurely, the broken root could become infected.”

The new adult teeth are quite a bit larger than the baby teeth. They may have clearly defined ridges and can be less white. But these features will change when you child starts using them for chewing and biting. The Canadian Association of Orthodontists advises that seven-year-olds who have started losing baby teeth should receive an evaluation with an orthodontist, notes Kanani, a Surrey orthodontics and Invisalign provider. The orthodontist can evaluate whether the child’s jaw has enough room for all the adult teeth. If not, appropriate measures can be taken.

“Many orthodontic problems can be fixed without a lot of fuss if they are noticed early -- before a child’s jaw has stopped growing,” says the Surrey invisalign provider.

Addressing these issues while children are young might shorten their time in braces and obviate the need for later surgery. At these initial visits orthodontists can also address issues such as thumb sucking, mouth breathing, and tongue thrusting – which can cause orthodontic problems in the future.

Surrey braces provider, Dr. Kanani, also notes that the time around when a child loses a first tooth is a good time to prepare for a lifetime of good dental health. Be sure to:

• Visit your dentist at least twice a year.
• Ask about fluoride treatments and sealants which can prevent tooth decay.
• Tell your children not to consume sugary drinks or eat between meals.
• Encourage them to brush in the morning, after meals and before bed.
• Get your child a new toothbrush every few months.

The staff at Langley Orthodontics gave interactive presentations about proper brushing and flossing techniques, what cavities are, and how to avoid cavities.

“Around this age is when children are beginning to take charge of their oral care,” says Dr. Aly Kanani, an orthodontist with Surrey Orthodontics and Langley Invisalign. “So, it’s a critical time to teach them the basics of how to care for their teeth – which goes beyond brushing. A balanced diet is just as important for your teeth as it is for the rest of your body.”

There were fun activities for the brownie troop, including storytelling and watching animated presentations, all at Langley Orthodontics in the heart of Langley, BC.

Langley Orthodontics Expert in Langley Can Correct Malocclusions

LANGLEY, BC - Malocclusion may sound like a fancy medical term, but it’s actually Latin for “bad bite” and is used to describe teeth that do not fit together properly. So, it’s the kind of thing the Langley, BC orthodontists at Langley Orthodontics help their patients with every day. Langley Orthodontics is also a Premier Provider Elite of the Invisalign system of invisible braces.

A bad bite might sound like something that only affects your appearance, but it can actually have an impact on a patient’s quality of life in many different ways. Malocclusions are many times inherited. The size of teeth and jaw is the biggest determinant for how well teeth fit together, but often teeth have too much or too little room in the jaw. However, malocclusions can also be acquired by thumb-sucking, tongue thrusting, dental decay, premature loss of primary or permanent teeth, accidents or some medical problems.

Types of Malocclusions:

• Class I Malocclusion: Teeth are crowded together or spaced apart – or they create an overbite or a crossbite.
• Class II Malocclusion: The upper front teeth protrude or the lower teeth and jaw are too far back relative to the upper teeth.
• Class III Malocclusion: The lower front teeth protrude or the lower teeth and jaw are too far ahead relative to the upper teeth.

Malocclusions are not just an aesthetic issue. Crooked and crowded teeth are hard to clean properly, potentially leading to tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. A bad bite can also cause abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, difficulty with chewing, and excessive stress on the jaw bone and gum tissue. Poor tooth alignment can also affect a person’s speech.

Treating Malocclusions
Few people have perfectly aligned teeth, but not every problem needs to be fixed. Children usually do not grow out of a malocclusion problem. Occasionally, it may be necessary to extract teeth to correct a malocclusion. More severe malocclusions in adults may need to be fixed with orthognathic surgery to change the shape of the jaw. But most bite problems can be corrected with fixed braces or removable appliances such as Langley, BC Invisalign clear aligners.

“Between the use of removable appliances, metal braces, clear braces, corrective jaw surgery, and Invisalign invisible braces, we have treated all types of malocclusions. We have treated everything from mild cases to very bad bite problems,” says Dr. Aly Kanani Vancouver invisalign orthodontist at the Langley office of Langley Orthodontics. “ Adults and teens who have all of their adult molars respond well to Invisalign depending on their situation. Children usually need traditional braces. Some adult patients opt for Langley, BC Invisible braces.”

Invisalign is a clear system of straightening teeth without wires or brackets. Many patients prefer Invisalign invisible braces since they feel self-conscious about a mouthful of traditional braces. The Invisalign aligners are removable, so there are no restrictions on what a patient can eat. And the aligners are typically more comfortable than traditional braces.
“Our patients are always surprised how easy the process is at our offices,” says Kanani, a Langley, BC braces orthodontist.. “We get them a dazzling smile more quickly – and with less pain and trouble – than they expect.”
