Traditional Metal Braces vs. Damon System Braces vs. Clear Aligners
Today you now have a choice in planning your orthodontic treatment! Taking a proactive part in designing your treatment can help you better understand how appliances work and why you should follow their strict instructions. Since numerous types of appliances are now available, choosing among them might be hard for those who have little knowledge regarding their advantages and disadvantages. In order to prevent regrets during or after your treatment, it is best to gain broad awareness about orthodontic treatments. Below is a good comparison of traditional metal braces and clear braces you can use as your guide. 
Examining each of them and comparing them with each other can help you calculate which option is best for you. By “best” we mean lesser pain, lesser discomfort, more convenience, lesser cost, and shorter treatment duration. Since having all these advantages at once is hard to achieve given you have limited resources or other restrictions, you can pick which criteria you prefer the most such as price, duration, or convenience and base your decision on it.
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are known for their strength and durability that can withstand the test of time for patients of all ages. These braces require an elastic rubber band, also called ligature, in order to connect or hold the archwire into the bracket. On the other hand, some orthodontists utilize metal tie wires instead of these elastic bands. These tie wires are twisted around the bracket thus enabling them to apply pressure on your teeth. This pressure will then slowly move your teeth to their desired positions over time.
Advantages
These kind of braces are less expensive compared to the other types of braces thus it is the most commonly used worldwide to keep orthodontists overhead down. You are allowed you to play with multi-colored ligatures that serve as decorations on your teeth when you smile. Aside from that, an option for a darker ligature is also available for those who smoke or drink coffee in order to hide staining.
Disadvantages
Traditional metal braces are easier to notice compared to the Damon System Bracket or Damon Clear Braces. Because of this, most teens and adults prefer the smaller Damon Braces or even clear aligners. Furthermore, since this type of braces is cemented on your teeth, proper brushing and cleaning is a must in order to prevent tooth decays. Lastly, metal braces tend to be uncomfortable at first 3 weeks as your tongue, cheek, and lips get used to it. The older bracket systems also require more force to get the teeth to move which translates to discomfort for the patient. Because of this, Dr. Wilson has chosen to not use the older braces systems in his office due to less patient satisfaction upon completion of treatment and a less superior result that the Damon System
Damon System Braces
The Damon Bracket system is the leading orthodontic bracket on the market today. It is the only “passive, self-ligating bracket” and has a special patent that no other braces system can reproduce. It’s know for getting a more superior result in a shorter time with less discomfort. It is the “Cadillac” of all braces systems out there today. It’s also know for giving the patient a wider, more esthetic smile that can not be achieved with other braces systems.
Advantages
The advantages over traditional braces or the old bracket systems are many. Just to list a few: Smaller bracket, more hygienic, less discomfort, faster treatment times, fewer appointments, a broader/fuller smile, along with many more advantages.
Disadvantages
It is the most expensive braces system out there, which is why most orthodontists don’t use it because it increases their overhead. However, Dr. Wilson has elected NOT to charge a premium or increase his fees because of this since he is able to finish his patients faster and in fewer appointments so this decreases the time needed for each patient as far as overall chair time, which tends to wash out his increased overhead on the bracket. Thus, this creates a built-in savings for the patient.
Clear Aligners
Having clear braces is a good option for those who don’t have the confidence to wear metal braces. Clear braces are made up of plastic and the most common brand is Invisalign. Unlike metal braces, clear braces or aligners need to be replaced once every two weeks.
Advantages
The main advantage of using clear braces is cosmetic. Patients are conscious regarding how they look when friends and families notice their weird appliances such as palatal expander, metal braces, or metal retainers. Aside from that, since clear aligners are removable, it will be easier for you to clean the appliances as well as your teeth. You can even remove them when playing instruments, swimming, or engaging in sports.
Disadvantages
Because of its convenience and comfort, clear braces are slightly more expensive compared to other types of braces. They are also more fragile so handling them carefully is a must in order not to break them. Furthermore, there’s a higher risk of losing them since you can easily remove them and misplace your braces case or holder. However, Invisalign Teen has 6 replacement aligners for free built in.

”You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just SMILE”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #18 ”You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just SMILE”
To go through life without smiling would have to feel like something is missing. You might check to make sure you are wearing your shoes, or put on your tie, or grabbed your keys and phone. After making sure that you have everything that you need for your day, something still seems to be missing. In order to be fully dressed, you need to put a smile on each morning.
There are so many things in life to be appreciative of. What better way to show your happiness and excitement than through a smile? Smiles are the universal way of showing that you are happy or have a positive outlook on something. When we start to smile, others cannot help but smile themselves. Why not challenge yourself for the next couple of days to wake up and before you leave the house, put a smile on your face? You might notice that people will begin to ask you “Why you are smiling?”, or “What are you so happy for?”
What greater response than telling them that today is just a good day and you are happy to be smiling. I guarantee if you start this trend, people will begin to be more positive and upbeat when they are around you because they know that you are the person they can come to share a smile with. No one likes a grouch, so why not put a smile on and share it with everyone?

Beach Braces Smile Quote #17 “There is no weapon in the feminine armory to which men are so vulnerable as they are to a smile.
A smile is one of the best tools that we can have. A smile never hurt anyone. If a smile can only help yourself and others, then why do you not smile as often as you should? Are you embarrassed by the way your smile looks? If this is the case Beach Braces would like to assist you in correcting your teeth so that you can have a smile that you are proud of. One method of changing the way your smile looks is by getting braces. Many adults think that they have waited too long and their smile is a lost cause.
This is not true at all! Braces are not just limited to children alone. Beach Braces offers a variety of options for children and adults alike. If smiling can boost your ego, then how do you think you would feel if your smile had been corrected and you had the smile you have always wanted? With advances in the technical side of orthodontics, there are many things that have been updated and changed in order to lower pain and discomfort levels as well as the amount of times that you will have to visit for check ups.
Another great thing about braces today is that there are many options to how you would like to straighten your teeth. You can have metal braces, translucent braces, or even aligners such as Invisalign to help improve your smile. When you come in for your first visit the orthodontist will go over what your options are and what they think will be the best option to better meet your needs. You will know what will happen every step of the way and will be sure to get the attention you deserve. Schedule your complementary consultation today!

How Far Away is Your Smile ?
Beach Braces Smile Quote #16“The shortest distance between two people is a smile”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #16 “The shortest distance between two people is a smile”
A great philosopher once said “A smile connects us, you and me…A smile can be a language anyone can learn to speak”. Who is this great philosopher you ask? None other than the great Kermit the Frog!
No matter where you are in the world a smile is universal. It means the same thing in every country. Even if you have no idea how to speak that language, you will be able to share happiness with them.
Scientists have found that when we smile neuropeptides are released in our brain. This allows the rest of our body to know what is going on. So when we smile endorphins are released giving us an energy boost and the ability to fight off stress. It has also been said that endorphins can cause pain relief. With all of these positives we can see how smile and laughter is the best medicine.
Wouldn’t that be great to get a prescription from the doctor that said, “Must laugh three times daily. Take with a full glass of water for fast relief” The awesome thing here is that we don’t need a prescription to laugh.
All we have to do is just begin smiling! Of course we cannot plan what is going to happen through our entire day. There may be things that happen around you to cause stress or unhappiness. The best way to combat those feeling is to try to stay positive and know that this is not the end of the world and you will be able to smile again soon.
Try your hardest to stay positive and surround yourself with others who do the same. Before you know it you will have that little pep in your step once again, and you will be ready to share your smile with the world!

To Smile or Not to Smile that is the Question
“Is a smile a question? Or is it the answer?”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #15 “Is a smile a question? Or is it the answer?”
Smiling is most definitely an answer. Sometimes when asking a question a smile is all that it takes. Think of all the times in the past couple days that you smiled.
In these instances when you smiled were you content with what you had discovered? Is this what caused your boost in joy? Or was it because someone made you laugh and you were joyed with the feeling that it gave to you.
We respond to situations with our emotions, be it happy or sad. When we smile its because we are feeling something and we are sure that what is being felt is making us happy or we appreciate the nature of it.
Smiling is the answer for many things, but we need to start using it more often. In a place where there is no smiling, people will become hard and calloused in their hearts. It should be our goal to go to these places and share our joy with them.
Since laughter and smiles are contagious, we should desire to bring that to people who are without happiness. Of course there is a place and a time for everything, but if you feel that you could brighten someone’s day with a smile, by all means smile away!
You might be the only person that day who has tried to boost their spirits and in the end you could have made them very happy. The question shouldn’t be if we should share our smiles with one another. The question should be how.
How can we spread positivity with a smile to others? Start by just smiling at people. Chances are they will return the favor with a smile. When you are comfortable with telling jokes, share them with some friends and see their faces change from a blank stare to completely happiness. Whatever you do, be happy and share that smile with everyone!
Unfortunately many people cover their smile with their hand, as they don’t feel comfortable with their smile and don’t wish to wear braces. A good alternative are clear braces, named Invisalign, adults especially feel most at ease using these clear braces.

Be a Joy
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #14 “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.”
When you are really happy what is the common thing that seems to happen? Do you lock yourself away in a dark room and tell everyone to go away? No! You smile, are happy, and are beaming with brightness and positivity. When we approach each day with this type of outlook we are able to become more positive and share that energy with others, making for a happier environment.
Has someone ever smiled at you in passing without saying anything to you? What was your immediate response? Did you shun them and look away, or did you return the gesture and smile back? Most times our initial reaction is to return the smile. That little kind gift that the other person gave you might have just made your day. Think about how you could do the same for so many others.
Beach Braces strives to be able to help you get the smile that you have always wanted. No matter your age, there are treatments available to help you. The best time for a screening begins at the age of 7.
This is because your molars should be coming in which will then identify how your teeth are lining up together in the back of your mouth. If the orthodontist can see that the teeth do not align properly there may be a chance of crowding, over or under bite, or smiles that appear with too much gum.
The sooner you get screened the easier and quicker it will be to bring you the best smile you can have. Call for an evaluation to see if getting orthodontic treatment is right for you. This is nothing to be afraid of, all you have to lose is the negativity about your current smile, and gain the happiness of a beautiful smile that you can share with the world.

Smile Day
“If you don’t start the day with a smile, its not to late to start practising for tomorrow”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #13 “If you don’t start the day with a smile, its not to late to start practising for tomorrow”
It is possible that you are so busy throughout the day that you might not have time to smile or take in something that you really appreciate or that makes you happy.
People who get stuck in day-to-day jobs that do not bring them happiness have a harder time staying upbeat and positive in the workplace. Then when they get home their attitude is negative and all they want to do is go to bed and hope for the weekend.
Why should you live life like this? Shouldn’t you want to be happy in your job? I know that this probably sounds crazy, but in the midst of all the hustle and bustle remind yourself every day to smile. A good old saying that you should remember daily says, “you aren’t fully dressed until you put a smile on”. It is guaranteed that the more that you smile the more energy and positivity that you will bring to yourself and other around you.
Smiling is contagious, so why wouldn’t you start smiling to bring more upbeat positivity to your workplace or even in your home? Make it a point to smile at least once after your wake up, twice while you are at work, and then when you get home for the night you should start to see some changes.
Even if you find yourself in the middle of the day and you have forgotten to put on your smile, its not too late. Go ahead and smile away! You will begin to see the change on your face and others around you. Make this your daily habit and you will begin to see the changes in yourself and those dear to you.

Smile that Stress Away
“Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”
Beach Braces Smile Quote #12 “Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it”
Have you ever looked in the mirror when you were smiling? If you haven’t recently go over to the mirror and start smiling at yourself. Notice how happy you look? Now, most of the time after I do this I end up making myself chuckle and then realize how silly I am being.
In that moment I am filled with happiness and all the stress that I have been dealing with has gone away. A smile is something magical that can turn our worries away. Why do we not smile more often? It has also been said that laughter is the best medicine.
There are whole groups of people that meet together on a regular basis and have laughing times with each other. They sit in a circle and use all of their energy to laugh. When you laugh you always feel good, right? So why not share this happiness with others? Some think that their smile isn’t good enough to share with the world. They think that because they have a couple extra teeth or because their teeth are crooked they don’t need to smile anymore.
With the discovery of orthodontics over 100 years ago, we have the technology to straighten teeth for a more comfortable smile that you can call your own and share with the world. Beach Braces wants to bring you to the point where you can be happy with your smile. In a short amount of time you can have the smile that you have always wanted.
