Metal/Clear Braces
This type of orthodontic treatment is advantageous. Our office patients gain amazing results with their braces. Our experienced orthodontic dentist, Dr. Keyur Shodhan, can skillfully apply metal or clear braces. Both types of braces work the same way. The difference between the two is within the color. Clear braces use tooth-colored brackets instead of metal ones. These brackets consist of either sapphire or ceramic. Many insurance plans cover metal and clear braces. They’re a popular option since they’re less expensive compared to other orthodontic treatments.
Ideal candidates for metal braces are patients that have:
- Teeth crowding that show turned, overlapped, or crooked teeth
- Huge gaps between teeth
- An overbite
- Crossbite resulting in having difficulty chewing
- A gummy smile that’s from an enlarged upper jaw or upper lip is short
Invisalign® Clear Braces
This modern approach to teeth straightening offers patients convenience and comfort. Invisalign® are custom-made, invisible aligner trays. Patients wear these trays on top of their teeth, gradually shifting them into place. Dr. Keyur Shodhan will plan the correct movements based on your individual correction needs. Many people appreciate Invisalign® because they’re both low maintenance and convenient. For example, a set of aligners doesn’t involve brackets or wires to tighten. Also, too, as the name implies, they are hardly noticeable.
Invisalign can help treat many dental issues. Treatable cases are:
- Crowded Teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Gap Teeth
- Open Bite
- Baby and Permanent Teeth
“Instant Orthodontics”
For individuals who want to avoid braces and aligners altogether, there’s “Instant Orthodontics.” This procedure entails the application of an entire set of porcelain veneers. These dental restorations come with many benefits. They can close gaps, conceal alignment problems, and hide unattractive stained teeth. Depending on the patient’s needs, dental crowns might also be a viable option.
