Orthodontics
Some people have straight, well-shaped teeth that are naturally perfectly lined up together. However, many of us may need help to correct the way our crooked teeth fit. The good news is, with the right orthodontic treatment plan from Petaluma Braces & Family Dentistry, anyone can have a perfect smile with an aligned set of teeth, a much-improved bite, and a better overall dental health. Prior consultation regarding your teeth’ state is needed before going over the best alternatives for your orthodontic care. Its treatment plans include two main categories that are commonly utilized today namely braces and invisible aligners.
Braces
Metal Braces
This remains the most common and well-known type of braces as it has been tried and tested to yield high-quality results. It’s made of bands, wires, and stainless steel brackets that work together to apply pressure, slowly moving your teeth towards the right position. This typically needs to be adjusted every month and has to be worn for about a few months to years depending on your teeth’ condition.
Ceramic Braces
This is another effective type of braces that is popular with those who want less visible braces that still yield the same results. This alternative is clinically proven to move teeth fast just as of the traditional metal braces but with a much discrete treatment experience. It’s a huge advantage to those who don’t want to feel self-conscious about wearing those metallic silver brackets and wires.
Invisible Aligners
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a much modern approach to braces that includes a series of clear tray aligners unique to you and your mouth for a custom fit. It doesn’t have any bracket or wire but instead, it’s made with the company’s blend of solid plastic that is made sure to sit comfortably over your teeth. These aligner trays are designed to put pressure on the targeted parts of your teeth and gradually move them into place. It’s a great alternative that’s incredibly unnoticeable yet still helps you achieve that great smile.
ClearCorrect
ClearCorrect is yet another modern development for your orthodontic treatment. Similar to Invisalign, it is a custom-fit clear tray aligner that straightens the teeth overtime. The only difference is the materials used for its transparent plastic that’s manufactured by Align Technology only. ClearCorrect is also said to provide a lighter and slightly thinner aligner for your teeth while yielding the same results.
