Traditional Braces

Traditional braces have been a reliable method for correcting misaligned teeth and bite issues for decades. They consist of metal brackets and wires that apply gentle pressure over time to move teeth into their proper positions. While traditional braces are effective for treating complex dental alignment issues, advancements in orthodontic technology have introduced alternatives like Invisalign®, which offers a more discreet and comfortable option for patients who qualify.

Why Choose Traditional Braces?

Traditional braces remain a popular choice for several reasons:

• Versatility: Traditional braces are highly effective for correcting a wide range of dental issues, including severe misalignment, overcrowding, and complex bite problems.
• Control: They allow for precise adjustments, giving orthodontists greater control over tooth movement, which is essential for achieving optimal results in more complex cases.
• Durability: Made of sturdy materials, traditional braces are durable and can withstand the wear and tear of daily activities, making them ideal for younger patients.

Considering Invisalign?

For patients who are concerned about the visibility of traditional braces or who have mild to moderate alignment issues, Invisalign offers an excellent alternative:

• Discreet Appearance: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who prefer a more discreet treatment option.
• Removable: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, offering greater convenience and comfort.
• Comfort: With no metal brackets or wires, Invisalign aligners reduce the risk of irritation to the cheeks and gums.
