Now imagine the happy glowing person with the perfect smile is you, it is possible.

Traditional braces are a sure way to safely and effectively straighten crooked teeth. Braces use a targeted pressure system that typically consists of wire, brackets, and small rubber bands. All of these elements together create a gentle force that is designed to slowly and gently move crowded teeth into place and correct your bite.

Traditional braces are a full-proof way to bring your smile to life and build your confidence!

 

The age of clear aligners!

 

Clear aligner trays have become a largely popular and extremely convenient option for people who are struggling with crooked or crowded teeth.

Aligners are a great smile correction tool that is best for patients with minor to moderate dental crowding or spacing. This aligning technique is a fantastic option for a straighter smile if you are deemed a good candidate for them by your orthodontist.

 

How do they work?

Clear aligners are simply plastic trays that are form-fitted to your teeth by using impressions. This technique is a gradual straightening process that involves a schedule. Throughout this schedule, you will change out your trays for newer adjusted ones as your alignment advances. Each new tray will gently and gradually move your teeth into the proper position, giving you your most confident smile with ease.

Now that you have the basics, let’s compare!

 

          Clear Aligners

 

• Visual appeal- as I’m sure you already know, visual appeal is one of the main attractions to clear aligners over traditional braces. Clear aligners fit over your teeth seamlessly, allowing you to continue your day to day life without people even realizing that your smile is under construction. Pretty great right?
• Overall comfort- Because aligner trays are less abrasive and do not require brackets, banding, or wiring, they tend to be much more comfortable in your mouth than other options.
• Convenience- Clear aligners are the most convenient option for correcting crowded teeth. Not only are they comfortable and effective, but they are also simple in design as well as easy to remove and clean whenever you desire or need a small break.
• Maintenance- One of the biggest perks of having clear aligners is that the maintenance required to care for them is very little.
• Great results- Most importantly, they work! At the end of your journey, you will have the smile you always wanted!

 

          Traditional Braces

 

• Treatment versatility- Traditional braces are great for all types of teeth crowding and bite correction, whereas clear aligners aren’t suitable for all cases.
• Straightening quality- Because braces use a targeted pressure system to gently move your teeth and your bite into place, they are extremely accurate as well as efficient!
• Great results- Last but not least, traditional braces are a proven method for developing a beautiful smile!
