Options in orthodontics (braces)

Are crooked and over-crowded teeth spoiling your smile? Do you get plaque buildup quickly? Do you have too much space between your teeth?

Orthodontics can straighten your teeth and correct bite imbalances all at once.

Braces are pretty common everywhere and there are millions of people across the world who wear braces to correct their teeth alignment. It is the only solution for people with crooked, spaced or misaligned teeth. Getting braces for your teeth is relatively inexpensive these days and it’s surely an investment in your oral health

Braces v. Invisalign®

Conventional braces are the most effective choice of treatment. Children especially use braces with brackets to provide support for the molars. Such braces will only be removed after the child grows up. These metal braces are generally easy to get used to. Braces correct the bite relationship as well as straighten teeth. Ceramic or white braces are also an option for adults and teens.

Invisalign® is a process in which teeth are straightened by shifting (tilting) the teeth and not moving them entirely. Teeth treated with Invisalign® have a higher rate of relapse (going back). Furthermore, Invisalign does not generally correct the bite which can become a significant problem in one’s dental life.
