Common conclusions
It seems the Icon therapy can be helpful for your teeth since you have an enamel discoloration. White spots on your enamel surface can have several possible demineralizing causes like fluorosis, enamel hypoplasia, acidic rich diet, dehydration or carious spots. Icon is a resin infiltration treatment that prevents further progress due to sticking the incompact structure together. This method is less invasive than usual one using a dental drill. You can have your spots removal in one visit without numbing. The Icon therapy consider being a comfortable and a long-term solution. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and treatment.
Having braces may leave some marks on your teeth due to misbalance between demineralization and remineralization since brace clips make your daily oral hygiene more difficult as well as decreased saliva access. After braces removal you may notice some white spots on your teeth. Such condition can be fixed with the Icon resin therapy. This non-invasive method sticks your incompact demineralized structure together. The Icon therapy consider being a comfortable and a long-term solution if you do not want teeth whitening due to some reasons. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and treatment.
It seems you may not need Icon therapy due to having cavities in your teeth. Cavities are the sign of an obvious decay being in process. Icon is a non-invasive resin method that may be helpless since your enamel was already damaged. This situation can be fixed with composite filling that will restore your broken tooth. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and treatment.
Having your enamel color changes can have several reasons like staining, dental plaque or brownish medication spots. The Icon therapy is usually used for demineralized white spots of other nature. In your situation, this solution may be ineffective and give you no result. However, it can be more reasonable to begin with dental cleaning and then consulting on teeth whitening. Schedule a visit to your dentist for more information and further examination.
Based on your answers, it is difficult to determine whether Icon therapy can be effective for you or not and find a suitable solution. Please, contact your dentist for more information and further examination.
