Traditional Braces
Traditional braces have helped generations of patients achieve straighter teeth, and they are still one of the most reliable forms of orthodontic treatment. They work by using brackets, which are bonded onto the teeth, as well as a wire that connects the brackets. Together, the brackets and wires apply gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth in order to shift them into their proper positions. Traditional braces are excellent for addressing most cases of dental misalignment, from the mild to the severe. They are suitable for both children and adults.
Invisalign® Clear Braces
Rather than using brackets and wires to move the teeth, Invisalign® uses clear plastic aligner trays. Each aligner is carefully designed to fit a patient’s unique mouth and shift their teeth in a precise, controlled manner. Patients often choose Invisalign® because the aligners are removable, which facilitates easy oral hygiene and makes it possible to eat a wide variety of foods. Plus, the aligners are quite subtle, which makes them ideal for adults who want to maintain a professional image throughout their treatment period.
