Understanding Different Orthodontic Treatments
Traditional Braces
Traditional braces have been a reliable method for correcting misalignments for many years. Comprising of brackets, wires, and bands, they work by applying gentle pressure to move teeth to the desired position gradually.
Pros:
- Effective for complex cases
- Applicable to all age groups
Cons:
- Visible appearance
- Dietary restrictions
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a modern and discreet alternative to traditional braces. Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, gradually shifting them over time. They are removable, allowing for easier maintenance and cleaning. Invisalign treatment is extremely popular among many of our clients.
Pros
- Virtually invisible
- Removable for eating and cleaning
Cons:
- Not suitable for all cases
- Requires discipline in wearing
Other Treatment Options
Ceramic braces, similar to traditional braces, are made of clear or tooth-colored materials, offering a more suitable option for those concerned with visibility.
