When most people think of braces, they think of big, shiny, metal braces of yesteryear. While these braces still have a place in modern orthodontics, and we think traditional braces look great on many people, it’s understandable that our patients want options. That’s why Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics of Jackson in Jackson, MI offers options.
Traditional braces now come in various colors to match your unique personality, but what about clear? There are some clear options on the market today.
Clear braces can move your teeth into their desired position quickly and easily, and no one else needs to know you’re experiencing orthodontic treatment! This is only possible with the use of modern orthodontics. Cutting-edge technology has seen great advances in orthodontic aesthetics and efficiency. However, you will only experience these benefits by visiting a clear aligners dentist who utilizes the best in modern technology.
While traditional braces utilize metal wire to pull teeth into proper position, clear teeth aligners can straighten teeth more efficiently in many cases. Additionally, many invisible aligners are also removable. This gives you excellent flexibility when it comes to enjoying your favorite foods and being able to brush and floss as normal.
Of course, the benefits of all braces come with clear braces, too: straighter teeth, a more beautiful smile, and teeth that are easier to clean and reduce decay. They also prevent further and more costly orthodontic problems in the future.
If you’re wondering if clear braces have drawbacks to their obvious advantages, they may in some cases. Generally, the benefits outweigh the negatives. However, because many clear braces are removable, this may pose a problem with children.
Many invisible teeth braces have indicators that wear away as the braces are worn to counter this. This lets parents know children are wearing their braces properly. However, this may still be a concern for many parents.
Even with modern braces, which, in certain cases, may reduce orthodontic treatment to as little as six months, it is important to discuss options with a professional orthodontist.
