The Variety of Orthodontic Treatments
1. Braces
A) Metal Braces: Conventional Metal Braces have been around for decades, and their effectiveness has stood against the test of time while simultaneously providing a budget-friendly option when compared to other treatments. With this method, the metal wires are held in place by bands or ligatures that come in a variety of colors. The ligatures can be changed during your monthly check-ups so that you can give your braces a customized look that is unique to you.
B) Self-ligating Braces: An evolved form of metal braces in which the bands or ligatures holding the metal in place is no longer needed. Hence, friction between the brackets and wires is reduced, resulting in a more comfortable experience. Self-ligating braces have also been found to trap less food, and do not require frequent follow-up visits.
C) Ceramic Braces: Functions similar to Metal Braces, Ceramic Braces offer a more aesthetic approach with the translucent nature of the brackets while giving the same quality results.
2. Retainers
A) Clear Aligners: Transparent and Removable plastic dental braces are a great alternative for those who do not want to feel self-conscious about having visible metal braces when talking and smiling. It functions just like the conventional braces, but the treatment process involves wearing different aligners as you progress through the treatment stages.
B) Fixed Retainers: Non-removable retainers are bonded to the inside of your front teeth to keep them from relapsing. Fixed Retainer is a great option if you want to avoid the troubles of removing and caring for your retainers, yet, it requires extra care, especially when cleaning to ensure no food is stuck and to prevent plaque build-up.
