Traditional Metal Braces
Dental braces using metal brackets and wires is the standard in orthodontic dental service due to their efficiency in inducing and controlling tooth movement. Their main downside is esthetics, so patients often prefer much more eye-pleasing alternatives like the ones discussed below. But then, with the developments in orthodontics over the years. There are now certain clinics like that of dentist Dr. Safarian’s who offer low-profile metal braces with brackets that are sleeker, smaller, and much less visible. Although smaller, they are as strong as their normal-sized counterparts in terms of efficiency in tooth movement.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces, also called clear braces, work in the same way as your traditional dental braces. But the pressure they exert in moving the teeth is gentler. Thus, it takes a bit longer for this kind of braces to put the teeth into their proper alignment. Esthetics-wise, though, they offer a great choice for those want dental that are less visible.
Lingual Braces
The lingual side or the back surface of teeth is the surface that faces the tongue, while the labial side or front surface is the one that faces the lips. Unfortunately, lingual braces are indicated for specific cases only. These instances include spacing, mild crowding, and minor alignment issues. Dr. Safarian, your highly-skilled orthodontist will tell you if you are a good candidate for this type of orthodontic dental service.
Invisalign
Another esthetic option when it comes to orthodontic dental services is Invisalign which, as its name suggests, is an invisible aligner. True to its name, this appliance is made up of medical-grade clear plastic and looks pretty much like a mouthguard. The only difference is that it works to produce a gentle, incremental tooth. Movement without the inconvenience caused by brackets and wires. Much like lingual braces, Invisalign is able to do minor corrections only.
