Your Perfect Smile Starts With the Right Choice
Which one of these options is right for you? Be sure to talk to your dentist about your treatment options during your next visit. The flawless smile you’ve been dreaming about is right around the corner.
Traditional Metal Braces
Even though traditional metal braces have been around for a long time, they are far from outdated; in fact, they are more comfortable and effective than ever before. Metal braces use stainless-steel brackets and wires to apply pressure to each individual tooth, gradually coaxing your teeth into a healthy alignment and giving you a perfect, beautiful smile. In addition, rubber elastics connecting the upper and lower braces help correct the alignment of your jaws. If you want a personalized touch, the elastics can be switched out to give your smile a dash of color.
Ceramic Braces
If you preferred your braces to be less prominent, ceramics might be a great option for you. The use of ceramic material allows the brackets to be clear or matched to the natural color of your teeth. Ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts, however, meaning they may not be a great choice for very young patients. For teens and adults, on the other hand, they deliver excellent results.
Clear Aligners
For those who want a truly invisible solution, clear aligners are the way to go. Removable plastic trays will be placed on both rows of your teeth to straighten your smile. The trays are removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, meaning that they will not impact your daily activities as deeply as braces do. Using removable aligners does require some self-control – if you cheat and leave them out, for example, they can’t do their job – but they offer amazing results when used correctly.
