Not all of us are fortunate enough to be born with a perfect smile, but your orthodontist in Niagara Falls, ON, can help make a big difference. There are various types of dental appliances and braces that are available for the correction of your individual problem.
Conventional Braces
Many people are conditioned to think of conventional braces as being uncomfortable and overly prominent. What you may not know is that traditional braces have evolved from the time that many of us wore them as kids. Today’s braces are constructed using stainless steel with metal brackets that we attach to each tooth using a particular form of cement. We use a thin arch wire to attach brackets to each other, putting the teeth under pressure, which causes them to gradually shift into the proper position.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces function just like conventional braces, but their brackets are constructed using a ceramic material that is clear. Ceramic braces are less prominent, making them a good choice for anyone who needs orthodontic care without the visibility of other types. We may also recommend that you use some type of product to provide additional fluoride as a way of protecting teeth against cavities.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a more recent orthodontic development involving the use of clear aligners instead of traditional metal. These liners resemble mouth guards that are individually created just for you. One of the main benefits of the Invisalign system is that you can remove these aligners whenever you need to eat or clean your teeth.
