Many individuals would love to have a beautiful smile, and with today’s sophisticated dentistry, it’s now possible to address a wide range of dental problems. If you have gaps between your teeth or some of your teeth are crooked, for example, there is a simple cure. It’s known as braces. You will need to consult a specialist, an orthodontist, for this type of dentistry. There are a variety of options available to help you achieve your ideal smile.
Metal braces have been used for many years. They are attached to your teeth with metal wires. The braces are tightened at each appointment with your orthodontist so that they press your teeth in a precise direction. Crooked teeth can be straightened by turning them around. Spaces can be eliminated if necessary. Other concerns can be resolved as well, but this will depend on your specific situation.
These are the most cost-effective braces, but they take longer to achieve decent results. They can also be inconvenient to wear and sometimes a bit painful. When you have metal braces, brushing and flossing your teeth can be difficult, but your orthodontist can provide some advice.
Invisalign has become the favorite for many people. This involves the patient wearing clear plastic aligners for the term of their treatment. You must go into the office each month so the orthodontist can provide you with a new aligner. He’ll check to make sure your teeth are moving in the right direction.
