Traditional braces
Braces have changed quite a bit in several decades. The brackets are smaller, the wires are thinner and the treatment times are typically shorter than they used to be. Now there is also the option of wearing "clear" braces, which have plastic wires and tooth-colored ceramic brackets. Dr. Loos often recommends this type of orthodontic treatment to his adult Canton patients who have severe crowding, spacing or rotation of their teeth. Those wearing traditional braces much be willing to practice stringent dental hygiene to ensure that their braces stay stable and the teeth remain free of decay.
Invisalign
For adults patients with less extensive alignment issues, Invisalign can be a perfect solution! Your Canton dentist often recommends this orthodontic treatment--which involves wearing clear, removable plastic trays against the teeth--to patients who have had braces or other appliances in the past but are experiencing regression of the teeth. The trays, called aligners, place gentle pressure against the teeth, causing them to move in a similar manner as traditional braces. However, Invisalign trays are designed to be removed for eating and cleaning, which offers patients more freedom than traditional braces.
Your Canton, GA orthodontist, Dr. Loos, will fully evaluate your situation before helping you decide which braces option is best for you. If you've been considering straightening your teeth, there's no better time to call Loos Orthodontics for a consultation today!
