Fort Wayne, Ind. (PRWEB) October 27, 2005 -- Dr. Ronald Cohen is expanding his orthodontic practice in Fort Wayne by offering iBraces, new 100-percent customized invisible braces designed for teenagers and adults seeking an aesthetic alternative to standard metal braces.

Dr. Cohen is one of the first orthodontists nationwide certified to offer this new system for straightening teeth.

iBraces, originally developed in Europe and widely used in Germany and France, were recently introduced in the United States. iBraces feature 100-percent customized brackets and wires that are designed for each patient and then fabricated using the latest in computer and rapid prototyping technologies. iBraces are placed on backside of the teeth so they are hidden from view. Because they are customized for each patient, they offer very efficient and effective treatment. iBraces are designed to be very comfortable for patients to wear.

“Many patients, particularly adult professionals and older teens want to have their teeth straightened but are not comfortable wearing traditional braces” said Dr. Cohen, “I like being able to offer iBraces to patients. It is particularly good for individuals who ask for Invisalign. This is a much better alternative for many of those patients.”

"The typical patient is a teenager or adult who does not want to wear braces but needs orthodontic treatment” said Lea Nesbit, chief executive officer of Lingualcare, the maker of iBraces, based in Dallas. “Patients range from boys and girls who play football and other high-impact sports to corporate executives,” added Nesbit “We are pleased to have progressive orthodontists like Dr. Cohen offering iBraces.”
