While in the past patients could only receive orthodontic treatment with metal braces, there are now many options when it comes to appliances. You might be a candidate for only one, or possibly several types of orthodontic treatments. If you have a decision to make about which to choose, it can help to know about what benefits each option offers.
Traditional braces
While these are not usually a patient’s first choice due to their obvious and bulky appearance, they do stand above the others in a couple of ways. Metal braces are the best, most tried and true way to address structural dental flaws. They can treat the widest variety of issues, as well. Furthermore, orthodontic treatment with braces may be less expensive than many other options.
Invisalign
This aligner-based method offers benefits that tend to appeal to many patients. The aligners are clear, removable, and seamless. Patients also do not need to attend as many appointments with our cosmetic dentist in Agoura Hills, as there are no wires to be tightened throughout the process.
Other orthodontic appliances include ceramic and lingual braces, as well as Invisalign Teen and Express. The added benefits of these include discretion, aligner replacements, and faster treatment.
