Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces, a reliable solution that has been consistently delivering remarkable results since the early 17th century, remain a favored choice. Over the decades, braces have evolved to ensure enhanced comfort and aesthetic appeal through the use of smaller brackets and wires, all the while maintaining their efficacy. Present-day braces offer an enjoyable, customizable experience, featuring colorful brackets and easier maintenance by dental professionals.
The transformation journey with braces involves the following steps:
- Metal brackets are securely affixed to the front surface of each tooth.
- A wire is fastened along the teeth, anchored in place by the brackets.
- Regular appointments are scheduled for periodic wire adjustments, facilitating gradual teeth and jaw realignment.
- In some cases, rubber bands are attached to the brackets to improve bite alignment.
- Upon completion of the treatment, brackets and wires are removed to reveal a beautifully straightened smile.
Ceramic Braces
Like their traditional counterparts, ceramic braces utilize brackets and wires to rectify teeth alignment. However, the distinctive attribute of ceramic braces is their porcelain-made brackets!
Porcelain, owing to its ability to seamlessly blend with natural teeth, is often chosen for cosmetic dental procedures. Its uncanny ability to mimic the color and luster of natural teeth means that, when used in brackets, it blends almost imperceptibly with the tooth surface, not attracting attention like the shiny silver of traditional braces. If you’re seeking an orthodontic treatment that’s more discreet than traditional braces, reach out to us for more information on this fantastic option!
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
We’re proud to offer Invisalign clear aligners as an alternative solution to meet our patients’ diverse dental needs. The Invisalign system forgoes the use of brackets and wires; instead, patients receive a series of tailor-made, clear trays designed to fit their teeth snugly. Each successive aligner subtly differs from the previous one, progressively shifting teeth into correct alignment. Benefits of Invisalign include:
- Removable aligners
- Near-invisibility of the aligners
- Comfortable, smooth design
- Capacity for impressive results
Typically, we recommend Invisalign for our older patients. Teenagers and adults are ideally suited to this treatment approach since their teeth and jaws are fully developed, making the results more sustainable.
