Are Invisible Braces Right for You?

We all want to have great-looking teeth whenever possible. The trouble is, even when we have crooked or crowded teeth, traditional braces are uncomfortable, expensive, and take a long time to work. There are, however, new options available from a dentist near you, such as invisible dentures.

At SmileVille Dentistry, we believe in giving our patients every option we can to give them back the smile they want and deserve. This post will explain what invisible dentures are and how they may or may not be right for you.

What Are Invisible Braces?

Invisible braces are a product that works without all the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces to provide a more comfortable teeth straightening procedure than traditional braces.

There are a few options for the type of invisible braces you receive. There are ceramic brackets, braces placed on the inside of the teeth, and clear aligners. This makes it possible to get the type of braces you need to correct your smile without feeling self-conscious about how the braces look or without as much discomfort as braces.

Lingual braces are the standard type of invisible braces for fixing major teeth spacing issues; they work by placing the wires and brackets on the inside of the teeth.

For less severe issues, clear aligners are a popular option. These trays are made of clear plastic and gradually straighten teeth over time by using a series of custom-made trays that are changed out at regular intervals.

Who Are Invisible Braces Right for?

Invisible braces are a great choice for teens or adults with crowding or crooked teeth who want to straighten their smiles. Full braces are recommended to correct teeth properly for more severe crowding or crooked teeth. For less severe issues, clear aligners are an excellent choice.

Ultimately, the right option will be determined by the shape of the patient’s teeth and their comfort level with the braces. In most cases, invisible braces are a perfectly viable option for straightening teeth and giving you back the smile you’ve always wanted.
