Dr. Shih has combined the Viazi's brackets,
GAC bioefficient wire and Invisalign to speed the treatment for his
patients since 2004. Dr. Shih has successfully treat all type of
Orthodontic patients, including Class I, Class II, Class III and even
Class IV surgical case with Shismart braces.
Shismart Braces first use Viazi's bracket to
de-rotate the malaligned dentition. The Viazi's bracket was designed for
bio-efficiency and comfort with over 15 years record of clinical
success. Patients usually were surprised about the "invisibility" of
this metal brackets after have them on. The great advantage of this
technique is lower sensibility and braces with fast result.
The results of consecutively treated cases by Dr.
Shih using Viazi's brackets alone with full patient cooperation indicate results with an average treatment time of about
6 months to a year. Patient then can choose to wear the Invisalign to
finish the treatment if the "transparency" is essential to the patient's
social life after few months of treatment. This is not a fastbraces, but
a braces work fast.
Iower sensitivity?
It seems so. University research has shown
"lower sensitivity" and greater "pain reduction" with the
bracket, "a clear-cut reduction in sliding friction" and "the lowest mean frictional forces" compared to the traditional braces tested.
Are there any other clinical advantages?
Possibly. Research has shown that the longer the patients wear traditional braces, the more root resorption
(tooth root shortening) they have (American Journal of Orthodontics).
University research in the same journal showed that this braces presented
even less root resorption than the traditional systems tested.
Dr. J. Richard Shih is certified in Viazi's
bracket since 2004. CALL: (858)689-6088 for a FREE Braces consultation
