If you want to straighten your teeth or correct a bite problem, you have more orthodontic options with your cosmetic dentist in Birmingham than ever before. The current menu of orthodontic treatments requires a whole new glossary. Here are some of the common orthodontia terms heard around Birmingham.
Lingual Braces and Invisible Braces
These are sometimes described as ‘braces behind the teeth’. These braces are just as effective at realigning adult teeth as the traditional ‘metal and wires’ kind but are almost completely hidden. Many Birmingham adults and teens who straighten their teeth choose this type of orthodontia.
Invisalign invisible braces work great for many Birmingham patients. Invisible braces straighten teeth using a series of aligners fitted specifically to your mouth. To find out if this type of braces are the best type for your teeth, lifestyle and budget, schedule a consultation at Koch Aesthetic Dentistry by calling 205-202-8618. We can help you determine which type of adults braces system is right for you and your smile.
Traditional and Clear Retainers
Once a Birmingham invisible braces or traditional braces patient has completed treatment, retainers must be worn regularly to keep the beautiful straight teeth in their corrected position. There are several types of retainers available for Birmingham cosmetic dental patients. The time-tested Hawley retainer consists of a metal wire that surrounds the teeth and keeps them from shifting. The metal wire is attached to a molded acrylic form that fits snugly in the upper mouth (palate) or lower mouth.
Clear retainers are newer on the Birmingham orthodontic scene. They cover the teeth like a see-through glove and do not need metal bows or clasps. Some retainer wearers believe clear retainers are more comfortable than Hawley retainers.
You don’t need to suffer with a mouth full of metal to get the beautiful teeth you are seeking. Let us help you develop a custom treatment plan for your smile.

What is the best professional tooth whitening system to use in Birmingham?
There are two main types of dentist-supervised tooth whitening systems available in Birmingham. In order to determine the best choice for your teeth, schedule, and budget, you need to understand the differences in the systems.
Both systems use a bleaching agent containing peroxide. Birmingham dentists who offer professional in-office teeth whitening, use a whitening gel with a high concentration of peroxide. Some in-office tooth whitening systems, like Zoom whitening, use a light that causes the tooth bleaching agent to work faster. When the light is shined at teeth on which the whitening gel is applied, it causes the peroxide to break down into free radicals, which are active oxygen molecules. This process naturally occurs without the light, but the light makes it happen faster. That is why you can get whiter teeth in just one hour.
Most Birmingham cosmetic dentistry practices also offer take home tooth whitening systems. Although these procedures take a bit longer to work, they achieve similar results. For many patients, this is the most affordable teeth whitening system.
At Koch Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer safe and effective teeth whitening. Our Birmingham cosmetic dentistry patients can’t believe how great their teeth look when they remove the stains and restore the brightness.
