Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / July 2005Using OrthoClear?
Are any of you orthodontists or dentists using OrthoClear on patients yet? How has the process gone thus far? Any patients here (knowingly) wearing OrthoClear aligners? Looking for updates on actual use. Thanks, Billy I've been providing Invisalign to my patients for about a year (quite similar to OrthoClear, except with a 2-weeks per aligner instead of 3). Works well on Class I ortho cases. Rotations can be accomplished, as well as extrusion with bands. Will not intrude/upright teeth. > Are any of you orthodontists or dentists using OrthoClear on patients > yet? How has the process gone thus far?

I can see wonderful. Anticipated relapse from the original surgery never occured, thus 2X. Glad I had enough cornea to work with the second time around. carabelli In article <QcjBe.1136560$w62.527533@bgtnsc05-news.ops.worldnet.att.net>, > "The Webby" <nospamattmjiatroepidemicnospam@san.rr.com> wrote in message > news:nospamattmjiatroepidemicnospam-89BCE8.18040713072005@news-rdr-02.socal.rr [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > carabelli Good to hear you've had such good results. My surgeon says that if I didn't have the cataracts he'd perform LASIK but since I'll need lens implants soon when the cataracts are removed, that is the proper thing to do. I was spoiled by the good part of being hyperoptic until about a dozen years or so ago when my arms got too short for my eyes! And it was all downhill from there... ugh. Anyway, I shouldn't complain considering that so many people have such trouble with their eyes beginning in childhood. Nonetheless, not having consistent vision hour to hour or day to day is driving me nuts! Can't get glasses to serve my needs properly. Can't wear contacts because I have some cornea issues... it will all work out but in the meantime, I hope you all will pardon my errors. Part of it is as you say, FFS and part carelessness and rushing ... but reading is not as comfortable as it was once upon a time. Ahhh the joys of aging ... ;-) TW "The Webby" <nospamattmjiatroepidemicnospam@san.rr.com> wrote in .............. I'm no ophthalmologist but lens implants are much more predictable than TMJ implants. I, personally, would get it done when the doc said to. That said, lens extraction can go to hell in a heartbeat too, no guarantees are there. I lived with an eye doc for quite a few years - I hear he was more than pretty good at it. carabelli |
