How an orthodontist can fix a smile

In this article, we highlight how an orthodontist can fix a person’s smile. With modern technology, there is more than one way that this can be achieved.

Traditional braces

Traditional metal braces are the most well-known method of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontists still use braces to help fix a person’s smile. They are reliable, strong and are known to fix both crooked teeth and uneven bites.

Traditional braces rely on metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth that are crooked. These brackets go on the surface of each tooth and the wires connect them all. An orthodontist will determine how long braces are necessary, as well as how often adjustments should be made.

Clear braces

Another popular approach to fixing a person’s smile is clear braces. More orthodontists are recommending clear braces because they are discreet and don’t draw as much attention to the mouth. Clear braces are quite similar to traditional, metal ones except the brackets are tooth-colored and the wires are clear. However, the idea and approach are both still the same as traditional braces. Orthodontists recommend clear braces because they do the same thing that traditional ones do but they are hard to notice, which is advantageous.

Aligners

Orthodontists also can fix a person’s smile with aligners. Most aligners are clear in color and are removable. Aligners offer flexibility and discreetness. Because most of them are clear in color, they are hard to notice. And, because they are removable, they can be convenient for eating and brushing.

Most orthodontists offer aligners as an option, but it is important to remember that because of the flexibility of aligners, the treatment process lies heavily on the person wearing them. They will only do their job if they are worn at all times.
