What Can Braces or Invisalign Treat?
Traditional Braces and Invisalign treatment can straighten out most teeth misalignment and bad bite issues such as crooked teeth, gapped teeth, protruding teeth, crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, cross bites, open bites, edge to edge bites, and other misalignments. Straightening out misaligned teeth and jaws can help improve the appearance of your teeth, improve confidence, improve general oral health and dental hygiene, as well as reduce the risk of damage to teeth and jaws.
How Do Braces & Invisalign Work?
Metal braces are made of metal brackets, which are the small squares at the front of the teeth, and a wire that is tightened every 4-6 weeks to slowly and gently push teeth into the correct position. Invisalign works in a similar way in that a series of custom plastic aligners become progressively tighter and gently move your teeth into their desired position. Both teeth straightening methods have been shown to be highly effective in straightening out mild, moderate and severe alignment issues. Depending on the complexity of your unique bite issue, treatment time can vary but usually averages around 2 years.
What Is The Best Age To Get Braces Or Invisalign?
If you are looking to get a straight and healthy smile, you will be able to benefit from braces and Invisalign regardless of age - as long as the patient is older than 7 years as recommended by the Canadian Association of Orthodontists! Age is never a factor and treatment is not exclusively effective to children and teenagers. In fact, more and more of our patients are adults who are looking for both, minor and major corrections. Having a healthier and straighter smile improves confidence, tooth and gum health, breathing, speaking and eating.
