Start your smile journey with traditional braces.
Metal braces are tried and true. They’ve been around for decades and us orthodontists have been treating kids and adults with metal braces for a really long time. There have been some technological advances, which is always good for the patient, makes treatment more comfortable, more efficient.
Back in the day, you know, they used to use really thick wires, cause patients a lot of pain. But nowadays, you know, we use really more comfortable materials. The advances have really made a difference in treatment and kids are just more comfortable in general nowadays.
If you come in for a consultation and I tell you that the only option for you is metal braces, I want you to know that there is a reason for that. There are some certain cases where metal braces really are going to be better than Invisalign. Metal braces are good for cases where we have a lot of tooth movement going on.
Things are just more efficient with the fixed appliance. Also, you know, treatment where we have a big bite correction going on, those fixed appliances are just going to be a better option for patients. It’s going to give you just a better outcome in a faster amount of time versus if you had a removable appliance like Invisalign.
