Crooked, misaligned teeth can not only affect your appearance, they can also lead to long-term complications for your dental health. By realigning and straightening your teeth, orthodontic treatments such as braces and Invisalign aligners improve the appearance and health of your smile.
Metal Braces
Dentists have been using metal braces to straighten teeth for decades. Modern braces use wires, brackets, elastic bands, and springs to realign and reposition your teeth. In general, treatment with braces takes approximately two years.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign aligners are made of clear plastic that makes them almost invisible when you wear them on your teeth. You can also remove the aligners to eat or when you brush and floss. The aligners work on the same principle as metal braces and treatment time is also around two years.
