Traditional Vs. Modern Braces

Apr 10 • 1 minute read

A straight smile looks great and helps prevent infections and structural issues like impacted teeth. The position of a set of teeth can be gradually modified through our effective Invisalign® method. 

Like traditional metal braces, Invisalign promotes the proper alignment of teeth and helps patients achieve long-lasting, beautiful results. 

Clear, Discreet, Effective Braces

Invisalign clear braces are a relaxed, comfortable way to straighten teeth. As patients progress through the aligning process, they visit our practice for short, monthly check-ups.

These removable devices are convenient for patients wishing to receive orthodontic treatment without drastic changes to their daily appearance. On average, patients begin to see results within months. Most treatment courses run a full year for the desired formation determined by an orthodontist.

Modern Orthodontics, Better Results

Advancements in dentistry have improved traditional metal braces. This method requires patients to visit the dentist every six weeks to retighten their aligners. This form of orthodontic therapy has been around for decades, but practices today now offer smaller, less-noticeable brackets designed with the patient’s convenience in mind.

There are other cases in which wireframe braces are determined to work better for an individual when compared with clear aligner options. More importantly, the dentist reviews detailed reports and inspects corresponding areas to provide accurate and patient-specific options.

Good Analysis Creates Great Treatment

Experienced dentists pride themselves on being able to diagnose a situation accurately and provide patients with options on how to treat their issue with alignment.

Speak with your dentist to discover the advantages of orthodontic care in relation your smile if you are unhappy or dissatisfied with the current shape of your teeth. Do not hesitate to ask about starting an Invisalign program, which has been proven to be as effective as the standard wireframe braces for mild to moderate alignment issues.

The Right Option

Dental specialists work closely with patients when determining treatments most convenient for them. If you or a member of your family struggles with a misshapen smile, call today and discover what treatment options are available.
