Conventional braces are a popular and cost-effective option for orthodontic treatment. They use colorful bands to secure wires to brackets on each tooth. This type of braces is particularly favored by teenagers, who enjoy choosing different band colors each month.
Treatment with traditional braces typically lasts from 3 to 5 years, depending on the complexity of the case. Advantages include their affordability, the ability to change colors monthly, and the durability of the metal brackets, which are less likely to chip compared to ceramic alternatives.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. After monthly band changes, you might experience tightness and discomfort for several days, requiring a soft diet until the discomfort subsides. The brackets’ sharp edges can cause mouth and lip ulcers, and maintaining oral hygiene can be challenging as food debris often collects around the bands, increasing the risk of cavities near the brackets. Additionally, because traditional braces do not allow for arch expansion, tooth extraction may sometimes be necessary to create sufficient space for realigning crooked teeth.
Invisalign clear aligners offer a modern and discreet alternative to traditional braces. Made from smooth, transparent plastic, these aligners are custom-designed to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions.
Invisalign is perfect for those seeking a virtually invisible orthodontic treatment that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next set in the series. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth gradually move into alignment.
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, brush, and floss, which helps prevent gum disease and cavities, and reduces the risk of premature tooth loss.
Properly aligned teeth enhance chewing efficiency, contributing to better digestion and overall oral function.
By straightening teeth and correcting misaligned bites, braces result in a brighter, more appealing smile.
Braces improve the overall harmony of your facial structure, giving you a more balanced and attractive smile.
