In some situations, treatment with invisible aligners may not be sufficient to produce the desired result. Some patients simply benefit the most from traditional braces.

Why traditional braces?

Orthodontic treatments have evolved a great deal in the past few decades. No longer are patients required to wear brackets and wires when they wish to straighten their teeth. Aligner trays like Invisalign do have several advantages over traditional braces, mainly in the area of convenience and aesthetics. It is important to remember, though, that the ultimate goal of orthodontic treatment is to produce a straight, healthy, beautiful smile. Traditional braces have been extensively studied and proven effective for several types of orthodontic issues.

It may not be possible to accomplish extensive tooth movement with aligner trays. Additionally, it may be a challenge to move small teeth and molars with this form of treatment. Traditional braces can accomplish a great deal, including:
  • Correct spacing problems
  • Reposition overlapping, overcrowded teeth
  • "Pull back" a tooth or teeth that are protruding
  • Correct moderate to severe bite issues
Traditional braces make it possible to love your smile. Straightening the teeth with traditional braces today may be equivalent, in terms of duration, to aligner methods, and may accomplish even more. With this treatment option, your orthodontist at Metropolitan Dental Center is also able to take into account your inherent neuromuscular structure, designing treatment that will improve not only the look of your smile, and not only your oral health, but your best overall oral structure.
