INVISALIGN BEIRUT



Enhance Your Smile without Anyone Knowing

Invisalign® BEIRUT


There could be a number of reasons why you are now electing to improve the appearance of your smile; perhaps a new job, or upcoming wedding or reunion has amplified your desire for a beautiful, perfectly aligned smile. Or, perhaps it is just time you did something to enhance your personal confidence. However, while you may want to correct misalignment in your teeth, the idea of wearing traditional metal braces may be less than appealing. Dr. George Bardawil  offers Invisalign® at his practice. The Invisalign® system consists of a series of clear, plastic aligners worn in succession to gradually shift the teeth into their proper position. The aligners are removable, comfortable, and undetectable when worn, making them ideal, particularly for adults. To learn more about Invisalign®, contact our offices www.drgeorgebardawil.com

How Invisalign® Works


  • During your first appointment, Dr. Bardawil carefully evaluates the alignment of your teeth and bite to determine how to best move forward with treatment.
  • An impression is taken of your teeth for further examination of problem areas.
  • Dr. Bardawil maps out your Invisalign® treatment, including how many aligners will be needed, how long each one must be worn, and the length of overall treatment.
  • Using digital imaging equipment, Dr. Bardawil shows you how your smile will look once the treatment is complete.
  • The impression of your teeth is sent to a laboratory for your custom aligners to be crafted.
  • At your following appointment, you will receive your Invisalign® trays and Dr. Bardawil will give you the necessary instructions for wearing the aligners.
  • Generally, each aligner should be worn for approximately two weeks before switching to the next one in the series. You should wear the aligners as often as possible – between 22 and 24 hours is recommended. The aligners are specially made to be comfortable and removable for easy brushing, flossing, and eating. One of the main advantages of Invisalign® over traditional metal brackets and wires is that the trays are virtually invisible when worn, so others won’t even notice you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
  • Dr. Bardawil will want to see you every six weeks or so to check the progress of the movement of your teeth. Once you have finished treatment, you will have a beautiful, perfectly aligned smile.

Benefits of Invisalign®

There are a number of benefits to undergoing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign®, including:
  • Invisible – Trays are clear and therefore virtually unnoticeable to others when worn.
  • Removable – Maintain good oral hygiene habits and eat whatever you want during the treatment.
  • Comfortable – No metal brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and tongue.
  • Minimal pain – You won’t experience the pain of tightening or adjusting wires, as you would with metal braces.
  • Fewer office visits – Go to the dentist less often than necessary with traditional braces, and spend less time in the dentist’s chair while there.
  • See quicker results – You will notice changes quicker because the trays are clear and removable.
  • View results before starting – With digital imaging equipment you can see the end result before you even begin treatment.
  • Proven safe and effective – An FDA-approved treatment, many patients have already seen excellent results from Invisalign®.
  • Enhance confidence – A stunning smile can enhance your self-confidence.
  • Works for all orthodontic cases – No matter how minor or extensive your needs are, Invisalign® can help.
  • Customized – Your treatment plan is customized for your individual needs.
  • No risks or side effects – You may feel slight discomfort as the teeth shift but it is very minor.
  • Improved oral health – Straight and properly aligned teeth help you avoid decay, gum disease, or other oral health problems.

Candidates for Invisalign®

The best way to learn if you are a good candidate for Invisalign® is to meet with Dr. Bardawil for a consultation. Invisalign® is ideal for both adults and teens with teeth misalignment, crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, or an overbite, under bite, or other jaw problems. Patients must have all of their permanent teeth for the treatment.

Invisalign Beirut Lebanon


invisalign

Dr. Bardawil is an Expert Certified Invisalign® Provider.


What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® has changed the face of orthodontics. Instead of wires attached to your teeth, your teeth can now be straightened invisibly.
  • Invisalign® is clear.You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
  • Invisalign® is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Invisalign® is comfortable. No metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation, and less time in the dentist’s chair getting adjustments.
The Invisalign® process has been proven effective in clinical research and in orthdontic practices nationwide. However, only a certified dentist like ours can undertake this procedure.

How Does Invisalign® Work?


  • A set of aligners are worn for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
  • As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position the dentist has prescribed.
  • You will visit us approximately once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
  • Total treatment time averages 11 months with the average number of aligners worn during treatment between 18 and 30. This of course will vary from case to case.
The aligners are made through a combination of our dentists’ expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology provided by the Invisalign® company.
Don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss any aspect of your dental health – we don’t charge for giving advice!

Invisalign-Clear Tooth Aligners by Dr.George Bardawil

Introduced in 1999 by Align Technologies, Invisalign incorporates a series of
invisible (clear) plastic aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth and are
designed to move your teeth gradually into the desired position. Today, Invisalign
is a leading brand of orthodontic appliance, primarily because the removable
aligners (less than one millimeter thick) are designed to be more esthetically
pleasing than conventional wire-and-bracket dental braces for treating certain
types of minor misaligned tooth problems.
How Invisalign Works
The use of a series of removable
aligners for the adjustment of
occlusion (bite) is not new. The
Invisalign method is based on a
concept first introduced in the 1940s and revisited in the 1970s that required a
series of dental impressions to determine the optimal position of the teeth. The
Invisalign method is simpler than its predecessors, requiring only one set of
impressions and photographs of the teeth, taken during an initial consultation.
These impressions are used to create a three-dimensional computer projection of
how the teeth could be moved incrementally, forming the basis for developing a
series of custom-made aligners designed to accomplish this movement.
Invisalign aligners are manufactured using computer-aided design/computeraided
manufacturing (CAD/CAM) processes. The aligners are sent to the dentist,
who typically dispenses them in groups of one or two at a time during regular
check-up appointments (about every four to six weeks) so that treatment can be
properly managed. Each aligner must be worn in its specific order for about two
weeks, during which time it moves the teeth in small increments of about .25
millimeters to .33 millimeters. Although the aligners are removable (for eating,
drinking certain beverages and brushing/flossing), they must be worn at least 20
hours a day in order to reposition the teeth successfully.
A typical Invisalign treatment requires 20 to 30 aligners for both the upper and
lower teeth. Most adults complete their treatment in less than one year. However,
treatment time depends on the specific alignment problem.

Invisalign, clear tooth aligners are one of the more popular
alternatives for those who find the idea of a mouthful of metal
braces and brackets too unattractive to commit to. If you are a
candidate for Invisalign or other "invisible braces," you don't
have to sacrifice your smile while straightening your teeth.

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT INVISALIGN
http://www.invisalign.com/

Invisalign Instructions :    
  • Wear the aligners full time. Take aligners out only to brush, floss, and eat. Each aligner should be worn for 2 weeks at a time, unless Dr. Bardawil specifies differently. NEVER SKIP ALIGNERS. EACH SET MUST BE WORN EXACTLY AS DIRECTED BY DR. BARDAWIL
  • You may drink with your aligners in. Colored drinks and smoking may discolor your aligners, just as they discolor your teeth, but keep in mind, every 2 weeks you are moving to a new set.
  • Do not throw any of your aligners away. Bring your last set with you to every appointment.
  • If you have tooth colored attachments, check them daily.  If one happens to come off, call our office so we can decide if we need to add enough time to your next appointment to repair it.
  • If you lose an aligner, wear the next sequential aligner if you have it. If not, wear the immediate previous aligner. It is extremely important to wear something to prevent the teeth from shifting. Then, call our office so we can advise you regarding what to do next.
  • When you begin wearing a new set of aligners, they may not fit quite like you think they should. This is normal. It is important that they fit well after the 2 week period. If they do not fit well, it may be best to wear them for an extra week. If you have any questions, call our office.
  • When changing to your next set of aligners, doing so at night allows easier removal in the morning, and minimizes any discomfort that you may have.
  • Occasionally, you may have a sharp edge on an aligner. You may use an emery board to smooth it. If it is still rough or sharp, call our office so we can make you comfortable.
  • You may clean aligners with a toothbrush and toothpaste. We do not recommend mouthwash by itself. The aligners tend to pick up the strong color in the mouthwash.
  • If you have any kind of pets, keep your aligners in the case and out of the pet’s reach. They love the smell of your saliva, and will eat through the case and the aligners.
  • Please make sure you make your next appointment before you leave the office after each visit. Your appointments will usually be every 6 weeks, unless Dr. Bardawil directs you otherwise

Thumb sucking habit should be eliminated prior to age 7-Dr.George Bardawil


 
Van presented in our clinic with a severe anterior openbite and protrusive incisors due to a persistent thumb sucking habit. Van was treated in Phase I with a tongue guard to break the habit, followed by braces on her upper and lower incisors to develop a proper overbite and beautiful smile aesthetics.Congratulations Van -http://www.drgeorgebardawil.com/

phase 1-habit elimination using a tongue crib




As an orthodontist I work with children, adolescents, and adults to help overcome prolonged thumbsucking habits. A thumbsucking habit (which may manifest in adulthood to a thumbnail biting habit) often results in significant skeletal deformities such as maxillary arch constriction (narrow upper jaw), aperto-gnathia (skeletal openbite or upward sloping palate), anterior dental openbite, and bilateral posterior crossbite.
We do know that habitual thumbsucking appears to be a means of relief from tension (i.e. the child is tired, hungry, or sad) and associated with pleasure and comfort. Research also shows a direct correlation between the probability of thumbsucking with the degree of introversion (shy children may have a greater likelihood of prolonged thumbsucking).Early correction of thumbsucking may prevent against the development of a skeletal or dental malocclusion, and the associated speech and masticatory difficulties. I suggest parents attempt to correct a thumb habit no later than 7 years of age, prior to the eruption of the permanent incisors. 
phase 2- after braces

It is critical to remember that a constructive, positive approach in which the patient can gain self confidence and take pride in accomplishment is always better than a destructive approach of nagging or belittling.

     TEETH CROWDING


This occurs when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally. When left untreated, overly crowded teeth can get worse over time. This crowding can lead to plaque accumulation, tooth decay and an increased chance of gum disease.This case was treated by DR.GEORGE BARDAWIL -INVISALIGN PREMIER PROVIDER  using  the invisalign technique-period of treatment was 9 months only.

Invisalign the secret behind a beautiful smile!

Dr. Bardawil is recognized as a Premier  Invisalign Provider in Beirut-Lebanon . Orthodontists designated as Premier Providers have achieved the highest level of experience using the Invisalign technique.

Revolutionary New Technology for Beautiful Smiles!

Invisalign are 100% Customized

Consider Invisalign to get the beautiful straight teeth you've always wanted — without braces. A consultation with your doctor can determine if Invisalign is right for you.

What is it?


Invisalign uses a series of invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that no one can tell you're wearing. So, you can smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign is made with 3D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to treat with Invisalign.

Why would I want it?


Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

How does it work?


You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position your doctor has prescribed. You'll visit our practice about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

Before orthodontic treatment


After orthodontic treatment

Underbite refers to an abnormal protrusion (jutting out) of the lower jaw, leading to a malocclusion, or bad bite. To get an idea of what an underbite looks and feels like, stand in front of a mirror stick out your chin and bottom teeth so they are positioned in front of your upper teeth.

Between 5 and 10 percent of the general population has an underbite. The frequency of underbite is higher among Asians.

What Causes an Underbite?
An underbite is predominately hereditary in nature, usually involving malformations of both the teeth and the underlying jawbone. Poor chewing habits can sometimes contribute to an underbite.

Aside from Aesthetic Concerns, Why Is It Important to Treat an Underbite?
Uncorrected, an underbite can potentially lead to temporo-mandibular joint disorder (TMJ)-- a misalignment or malfunction that causes excess pressure on the jaw joint. TMJ can lead to head and cheek pain, a clicking or popping sound each time you open and close your mouth, limited range of motion of the jaw joint, and other symptoms.

Additionally, many years of living with an underbite can cause the teeth to wear down prematurely or unevenly.

What Is the Best Age to Treat an Underbite?
Historically, the procedure was to wait until the child stopped growing and then realign the jaws surgically. Today, the goal is to avoid surgery whenever possible by intervening when the patients are still growing, as young as age 5.

Human canines are the longest and most stable of teeth in the dental arch. Only one tooth of this class is present in each quadrant. In traditional dental literature, canines are considered the cornerstones of the dental arch. They are the only teeth in the dentition with a single cusp. They are especially anchored as prehensile teeth in the group from whence they get their name, the Carnivora.
Maxillary canines by definition are the teeth in the maxilla distal, but closest to the incisors. Mandibular canines are those lower teeth that articulate with the mesial aspect of the upper canine.

Night guard and teeth clenching




What is bruxism and who suffers from it?

Adults, who's job or way of life involves a lot of stress, are the most likely candidates to be diagnosed with bruxism. Bruxism, or simply teeth grinding, is a condition that mostly affects people during sleep and known to cause premature teeth wear, toothache, headache and jaw pain as well earache and neck pain http://www.drgeorgebardawil.com/

What is a night guard and how it can help?

It is a known fact that teeth are made of the hardest material that can be produced by the human body, but even teeth have to be protected from wearing off, cracking and breaking, especially when eating or sleeping. Getting a night guard can be a fast, easy and inexpensive solution for people with bruxism.





Are dental night guards right for me?

The use of a dental night guard is essential for for anyone who suffers from bruxism, teeth gringing and clenching. There are substantial benefits to use of night guards, such as improved breathing at night, better overall comfort, less headaches in the morning and reduced tension in neck, shoulders and jaw muscles.
Other benefits of using a night guard include:
  1. Helps to reduce grinding and clenching of teeth, thus protecting them from damage.
  2. Night guard alows for improved breathing at night, as the air passages are kept open.
  3. Headaches, neck and shoulder tension can be drammatically reduced.
  4. Getting a night guard helps to attain a better and more comforting night sleep, allowing the wearer to wake up refreshed and feeling more energetic.
  5. Tension and stress on jaw muscles and joints can be drastically reduced, thus prolonging their life and reducing or preventing progression of any orthodontic conditions.
  6. Sometimes, the use of night guard can also help to reduce snoring, allowing the wearer and other to have a better nigh sleep.
  7. One of the most substantial advantages of night guards, is their ability to prevent and reduce fractures, premature tooth wear, chipping and loosening of teeth.

Is Invisalign® Really Customized for Each Patient? – Beirut -Lebanon

Is Invisalign® Really Customized for Each Patient? – Beirut -Lebanon

Yes, it is, and that’s part of what makes it work. To find out if you are the right candidate for Invisalign treatment, the first thing we do is to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.
Next we use special software to map out the exact path your teeth will take from the beginning of your treatment to the end. Based on the results, a set of custom aligners are created just for your teeth. Throughout the course of treatment, you will be required to wear these clear, removable aligners one at a time; each one moving your teeth closer and closer to their final, perfectly aligned position. And since the aligners are virtually invisible, nobody around you will even know you are wearing braces!
Dr. Bardawil is a certified Invisalign provider. If you have questions about Invisalign, or would like to find out if you are a candidate for Invisalign treatment, give us a call!

RUBBER BAND OR ELASTICS IN ORTHODONTICS WITH Dr.Bardawil

Talkin' elastics with Dr. Bardawil

The purpose of elastics (rubber bands) is to apply a force on selected teeth to help them “fit” better and correct your bite. Elastics can move teeth in a way that cannot be done with braces alone. Failure to wear your elastics, as instructed, will result in treatment running
longer than expected. It may also affect the finished orthodontic treatment result.
When you first start wearing the elastics, they may make your teeth sore. If you continue wearing them as instructed, that discomfort will go away in a couple of days.
If you break or lose a rubber band, replace immediately. Always carry a spare pack of rubber bands in your pocket. You will be asked to wear your elastics either full-time or every night.
FULL-TIME WEAR
Rubber bands are to be worn 24-hours per day, except when brushing your teeth, unless stated otherwise by Dr. Bardawil  . Please wear your elastics all the time. Remove them only for brushing and flossing your teeth. Insert new elastics after brushing and flossing. Try to keep fresh elastics on your teeth
at all times (they lose their force after several hours).
NIGHT-TIME WEAR
Please wear your elastics every night (sleep in them). Now let’s go back and repeat that together – wear your elastics every night (not some nights).
If you lose your elastics or run out, just call our office or email us and we can send you more.
Why the big deal? Because these elastics are your ticket to the fastest, most ideal result you can get. Unfortunately, they just don’t work unless they are worn as prescribed.
By wearing your elastics as instructed, you will be doing your part in keeping your orthodontic treatment on schedule.
