Clarity Aesthetics offers Invisalign

Tweet

Having good teeth indicates how healthy and hygienic a person is while providing the confidence needed to face the world. A flawless smile is achieved by practicing proper dental health like religious brushing of teeth and regular visits to the dentist.

However, no amount of oral hygiene can prevent crooked or misaligned teeth. This condition is usually caused by problems during a person’s formative years.

Crooked or misaligned teeth are usually corrected by wearing braces—long the traditional remedy for crooked teeth. But have also been a bane because of the inconvenience and pain they usually cause. 

Fortunately today, braces are no longer the only remedy for crooked teeth. Clarity Aesthetics offers a revolutionary treatment called Invisalign, a hassle-free, non-invasive procedure that guarantees perfectly aligned teeth in no time.

Dental health innovation

In the same way that conventional braces and retainers work, Invisalign incrementally corrects misaligned teeth. However, what differentiates Invisalign is that it offers all the benefits of a corrective dental procedure without any of the pain and hassle that come with traditional braces.

Invisalign corrects dental deformities with a series of custom-made clear aligners engineered to gradually and gently shift teeth into place. This set of customized aligners, made of a smooth, comfortable, durable, and BPA-free plastic, are easily removable, which allows for easy cleaning.

Invisalign provides aligners that follow a gradual corrective procedure that is mapped out using state-of-the-art 3-D imaging technology. The process, which involves X-rays, pictures, and impressions, is used to create a virtual image of the teeth that is used to present how the teeth are responding as the treatment progresses. This way, patients can visualize what their teeth will look like after the procedure while providing doctors a clear framework within which to execute the procedure.

Also, by applying advancements in the field of dental health and aesthetics, Invisalign provides solutions to a slew of other dental issues, resulting in better clinical results. The procedure has proven effective in repairing a range of dental problems like gapped teeth, overbite, under bite, open bite, cross bite, and overcrowded teeth.

Make the right choice

Choosing Invisalign over traditional braces is simple because of the three Cs: comfort, convenience, and confidence.

Invisalign provides patients a level of unprecedented comfort unmatched by conventional orthodontics. Unlike braces, the procedure does not involve wires or metal brackets that could be painful and irritating to even the inside of the cheeks and gums. Invisalign’s aligners are easily removable, allowing patients to enjoy hard or chewy foods, which is virtually impossible with braces or retainers.

Invisalign also offers convenience because of the no-fuss process involved in sustaining the treatment. Aligners are replaced with new ones every two weeks or until the inconspicuous Blue Dot Wear Indicator reaches a certain point, signaling patients that it's time to get the next set. Also, dental problems like stains or plaque buildup usually associated with braces will never be an issue.

More important, patients can go out with confidence. Keeping aligners on for the recommended 20-22 hours daily is not a problem because the aligners are smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible. These can be worn throughout the day without people even noticing they're on.

The benefits of Invisalign's novel and modern procedure allow Clarity Aesthetics to go the extra mile in ensuring that each person gets only the best.

DepEd ensures safe and learner-centered Palarong Pambansa

Tweet

For Education Secretary Br Armin Luistro FSC, the Palarong Pambansa is more than just an annual sports meet. “It is the culmination of all sports and physical development programs of DepEd from Kinder to Grade 12. Nakapaloob ito sa K to 12 curriculum,” he explains prior to meeting Department of Education (DepEd) regional directors. 

Reminding everyone to exercise the “same level of care we give our students in our schools” Luistro says that the Department’s strength is in developing the curriculum, which is why they have crafted a senior high school (SHS) track focused on sports. “This is not just a program for developing star athletes,” he says. “Our goal is to create a curriculum that will allow athletically-inclined learners to develop skills and knowledge that will allow them to be productive in the field even beyond their peak years.”

“We want them to be able to make a living out of what they know and love.”

While competitors in the games focus on ‘the moment,’ Luistro and his team are looking to the future. DepEd’s Management Committee (MANCOM) chooses from among different bidders (cities or provinces) the next Palaro hosts.

“One of our criteria is what they will do after the games are done. The host invests in facilities and equipment and we want to know if they will be able to maximize these when their Palaro is over.”

“We envision each province to specialize in particular sports,” Luistro says, adding that like the academic and tech-voc tracks, senior high schools cannot offer specializations in all sports. 

DepEd’s vision puts the learner first when crafting policy, and this is what anchors the reforms DepEd instituted in recent games. Luistro and Palaro Secretary General and DepEd Assistant Secretary Tonisito Umali ensured insurance coverage participants and worked towards better screening for athletes. 

“We have special awards for the most organized delegations and a ‘clean and green’ policy that ensures that we leave the host the way we found it. Or even better.”

As billeting areas for athletes and delegation officials, public schools undergo a “makeover” months before the games – toilets are upgraded, shower areas installed, and classrooms spruced up to serve as sleeping quarters. “Serving as quarters for delegations means an early ‘Brigada Eskwela’ for these schools,” Luistro adds, referring to DepEd’s yearly school maintenance activity.

DepEd and the local government unit have ensured a safe and learner-centered Palarong Pambansa. With the installation of mobile clinics and medical first-aids in every game venue, DepEd and the LGU are able to provide medical assistance to those who need it. 

“The Department is working towards improving the safety of our athletes,” Umali said. He added that this starts with the teachers and school administrators who make sure that the schools are safe for the students.
