Orthodontics

Metal Braces and Clear Aligners

are two effective orthodontic options for straightening teeth, each with unique benefits suited to different patient needs and preferences.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are thea traditional and highly reliable option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor misalignments to more complex bite problems.

Strength and Efficiency

Metal braces are robust and can address significant dental corrections effectively.

Constant Force

The implant stimulates the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth. 

Constant Force

They provide consistent pressure on teeth, allowing for predictable and sometimes faster results.

Less Dependent on Patient Compliance

Since braces are fixed, they work continuously without needing to be removed, making them ideal for younger patients or those who might struggle with wearing removable aligners consistently.

Clear Aligners:

Clear aligners offer a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces. They’re especially popular among adults and teens who prioritize aesthetics and convenience.

Discreet Appearance

Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for those who want a less noticeable orthodontic solution.

Removable

Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy favorite foods.

Comfortable

Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners reduce the chance of irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires.

Choosing the Right Option:

Metal Braces

Ideal for patients with complex dental issues or those who may have trouble wearing removable aligners consistently.

Clear Aligners

Suitable for patients with mild to moderate misalignment who prefer a subtle, flexible treatment option.

Overbite

Where the upper front teeth lie too far forward (stick out) over the lower teeth

Underbite

An appearance, where the lower teeth are too far forward or the upper teeth too far back

Crossbite

When the upper teeth do not come down slightly in front of the lower teeth when biting together normally

Openbite

Space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together

Misplaced Midline

Space between the biting surfaces of the front and/or side teeth when the back teeth bite together

Spacing

Gaps, or spaces, between the teeth as a result of missing teeth or teeth that do not “fill up” the mouth

Crowding

When there are too many teeth for the dental ridge to accommodate

How Does Orthodontic Dental Treatment Work?

Many different types of appliances, both fixed and removable, are used to help move teeth, retrain muscles and manage growth of the jaw. These appliances work by placing gentle pressure on the teeth and jaws. The severity of your problem will determine which orthodontic approach is likely to be the most effective and give you the best smile.
