The need to wear braces is something nobody would cherish. Often patients do not want to hear their dentists/orthodontists saying that there is a need to wear braces. However, the other side of the story is something different. Most of our patients have had braces and they are enjoying wearing them because the results they see are phenomenal. Not only they find braces likable but also look for options when it comes to wearing them.

Braces can be helpful for both adults and children. However, they aren’t “one size fits all” solution. There are different kind of braces available. Understanding them will give you better know-how on selecting the right one.

Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces work as a quick fix to correct issues like misalignment, crowding and many other deformities. Our dentists recommend metal braces for children because they function outstandingly. We have often seen parents asking about Invisalign for their kids. However, we are not in favor since there are compliance issues. Kids might not wear them properly or remove them. The results of treatment are promised, however, kids are too young to handle. This is the only reason our dentists do not recommend Invisalign treatment for kids.

So, metal braces are an excellent option for children and adults suffering from severe occlusion.

Invisalign
Invisalign, also known as clear aligners have been acclaimed amongst the adult population. Adults with mild or moderate crowding issues can make the best use of Invisalign. Invisalign comprises a set of removable aligners that should be worn for most of the days.

An advantage with Invisalign is that they can be easily removed while attending any social event, wedding or reunions. Since they are invisible, you can also carry them without getting conscious about your smile. So, if you are looking for an invisible teeth straightening solution, Invisalign clear aligners are something you need to get a flawless smile.

Ceramic Braces
Made to blend with the teeth, ceramic braces aren’t much visible. They are similar in design and composition to regular braces and provide a lot of great features. They are popular amongst adults with severe crowding issues where Invisalign do not work.
