Clear aligner treatments like Invisalign® have mass appeal. Not only are they removable and virtually undetectable, but they are capable of straightening most bite problems. So, it may come as a surprise to learn that they aren’t the best orthodontic option for every patient.
There are many instances where you may choose metal braces instead of clear aligners, including:
- If you have a complex case: Metal braces can correct fairly complex problems with teeth alignment. These problems include severe crossbite, underbite, and other significant bite abnormalities. Meanwhile, Invisalign® aligners are often reserved for more straightforward cases.
- If you want the fastest treatment: Metal braces are irremovable, which means that they may be a faster treatment option for patients who lack self-discipline. These braces are working 24/7 to straighten your smile. If you suspect that you or your teen will have trouble being diligent with aligner wear, metal braces could be a better choice.
- If you want the convenience of a non-removable appliance: You may worry about the hassle of losing or changing clear aligner trays. In that case, a non-removable option could be more convenient.
Advanced Orthodontic Care in Denver offers several different types of metal braces. Options include traditional braces, ceramic braces with a metal wire, the Synergy® R bracket system, INBRACE lingual braces, and Incognito™ Hidden Braces. Some of these braces are even more discreet than Invisalign® due to their placement behind the teeth.
“Dr. Rudman is by far the best Orthodontist I’ve ever been to, and I have been to one in four different states. His team is super friendly, and they are very accomodating if you need anything at all. I cannot recommend Advanced Orthodontic Care enough.” – Andy M.
