Unfortunately, you have little control over how your teeth will grow. You can have teeth alignment issues because that’s just the way it is. However, you don’t have to be stuck with those teeth appearance problems anymore if you don’t want to. There are orthodontic treatments you can undergo to get the aligned teeth you’ve always wanted.
Here are some of your best options and their pros and cons:
Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most traditional type of orthodontic treatment. You’ll have to wear brackets and wires made from high-quality and durable stainless steel to correct your teeth alignment issues slowly. Unlike before, metal braces are now smaller, more comfortable to wear, and more appealing. You can even choose the color of the brackets and change it up every month or so. Better to wear braces when you’re younger for the results to be faster.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces function like metal braces. The difference is instead of stainless steel wires and brackets, the material used is composed or clear ceramic. This is ideal for patients who feel self-conscious having visible metal braces on their teeth. However, metal braces are still more durable compared to ceramic braces, so you have to be more careful about how you eat when you choose ceramic braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign or clear braces offered by West Jordan dentists are the most comfortable to wear because they are hidden beneath the teeth. This means nobody needs to know that you’re trying to correct your teeth alignment issues if you don’t want them to. You can even remove Invisalign up to two hours per day without disturbing its effectiveness. Treatment time is also faster, with results showing only after two years.
These are only some information about metal, ceramic, and clear braces. Visit your orthodontist soon to know more about them and choose which one suits your needs and preferences best.
