Fortunately, there is a solution in <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bioclearmatrix.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bioclear Matrix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, a cosmetic treatment that fine-tunes your teeth after braces. It&#8217;s\u00a0available from your dentist in Petaluma. To learn more about the Bioclear Matrix, keep reading for this week&#8217;s update from your trusted dentist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petalumasmiles.com\/meet-dr-koenitzer.html\">Dr. Bob Koenitzer<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What Is Bioclear Matrix?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bioclear Matrix is an option for improving the appearance of your teeth after you have had your teeth straightened with traditional braces, Six Month Smiles, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petalumasmiles.com\/invisalign-clear-braces.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Invisalign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0clear braces for adults and teens. It\u2019s not a retainer or another device you have to wear &#8212; instead, the Bioclear system is a specific approach\u00a0for placing composite resin\u00a0to lengthen short teeth or close spaces that may remain between teeth after orthodontic treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The issues Bioclear can fix include\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Peg laterals (underdeveloped teeth on the sides of your two front teeth)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\">Undersized teeth<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Midline diastema, or the triangular space between the two upper teeth and the gum<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deep anterior caries, or tooth decay in the front of your teeth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And other common issues following orthodontic treatment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How Does Bioclear Matrix Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If Bioclear is a good solution for your smile after you finish with braces, Dr. Koenitzer applies the veneers according to the precise standards outlined by this advanced treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To begin, we cover up your gums and leave only your teeth exposed. Then, because every elective treatment is best performed on clean teeth, we use a disclosing solution to identify spots where biofilm (plaque and tartar) have built up. We thoroughly remove the buildup from the surface of each tooth using a special handheld tool. Then, we carefully prepare the tooth for application of the composite resin. An etching solution is first applied to the surface to encourage proper bonding between the enamel and the resin. Your dentist carefully shapes the resin to improve the size, shape, and overall appearance of the short or stubby tooth\/teeth. The material is dried in a matter of minutes under a special light. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benefits of Bioclear After Braces<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have gotten braces, you have also made a big investment in your smile.
