Hi, friends. Today, I want to speak to you about holistic orthodontics. Now, what are the reasons why we would want holistic orthodontists?
Well, the number one reason is we want to make sure that it is okay for you to go through orthodontia, and it is not going to impact your airway and cause you life-threatening situations. That is the number one reason why you want a holistic orthodontist.
Now, what is holistic orthodontics? Well, orthodontics means that we’re moving your teeth. Now, when you add the term holistic in front of it, that means we’re looking at whole body health. So we are now not just thinking about Invisalign or regular braces, we’re actually looking at how can we make sure that your airway is functional, and also you get the results that you want with pretty teeth. Those are the things that a holistic orthodontics person is going to go through. And we invite you to always use a holistic orthodontist.
Now, the next thing you want to be careful about is making sure, when you’re seeing a holistic orthodontist, you’re using Invisalign, which is BPA-free, which is bisphenol-free. That means there is no cancer causing agents in the aligners, should you need them, or if you’re getting regular braces that the composite they’re utilizing does not cause any sort of cancer[-causing materials] as well. So those are some things that you want to check out and pay attention to when you’re looking at a holistic orthodontist.
Number one, you always want a holistic orthodontist. Now, let’s go a step deeper and make sure and verify the materials that they’re using to make sure that they’re very safe and healthy for you.
