Everyone wants a beautiful smile. An attractive smile contributes to one’s self-confidence. Orthodontics is a short-term investment with long-term benefits. With current up-to-date options for correcting orthodontic problems, children, teens and adults can choose from traditional braces to Invisalign’s clear braces to achieve a beautiful smile. At North Woodbridge Dental, we offer orthodontics for all ages.
Traditional Braces
At North Woodbridge Dental, we offer orthodontic treatment using brackets and wires.
Braces can treat mild, moderate and severe cases of misalignment of teeth. It is the most widely used, most predictable and effective orthodontic treatment that has been used for many years.
Braces are definitely recommended for moderate to severe cases of misalignment of teeth. Also it’s recommended for teenagers whose compliance with removable Invisalign treatment may be poor.
Invisalign
Teeth that have been straightened with Invisalign are easier to keep clean, making them less likely to suffer from cavities or gum disease. Once teeth bite together in a proper relationship, they’re less likely to suffer from premature wear or lead to TMJ disorders.
Invisalign braces are a revolutionary type of orthodontic treatment that allows patients to straighten their teeth without any brackets or wires. Instead, Invisalign uses custom-fitted trays that are changed out every 2-3 weeks, which guide a person’s teeth into proper alignment.
Invisalign aligners are:
- Made of smooth, thin plastic
- “Invisible” to other people
- Removable during meals
- Easy to keep clean
- The most comfortable orthodontic treatment available
