Invisodontics…A New “Take” on
Orthodontics
in·vis·i·ble [ĭn-vĭz'ə-bəl]
adj.
1. Impossible to see; not visible.
2. Not accessible to view; hidden.
3. Not easily noticed or detected;
inconspicuous.
or·tho·don·tics [ôr'thə-dŏn'tĭks]
n.(used with a sing. verb)
1.
A specialty
branch of dentistry dealing with irregularities of the teeth and their correction
(as by means of braces).
2.
The treatment provided by
an orthodontist.
The
term “Invisodontics” is not officially recognized or used in dentistry
today. Not by the American Dental Association (ADA), the American Association ofOrthodontist (AAO) or any Local
State Board of DentalExaminers. The reason is, as far as I
can tell, I created the word.
It
is a descriptive combination of the words Invisible Orthodontics to create “Invisodontics”
The
word came to me while planning the development of a relatively new concept in
the practice of orthodontics. A
specialty orthodontic only practice which utilizes strictly invisible types of
treatment to correct crooked teeth.
Welcome
to my blog where we will explore “the Good, the Bad and the Ugly” of invisible
orthodontics….Invisodontics.
