When it comes to orthodontic methods for correcting the spacing of your teeth, modern advancements provide multiple treatments to select from. What you will learn when you study the differences between each is that approach the same goals through different technology. For younger patients, we often suggest the robust corrective ability of traditional metal braces. This is because, in adolescence, your jaw is still quite malleable. Braces can provide the strength necessary to straighten the most crooked teeth. For others with less severe malocclusion, we could also provide treatment with clear aligners from Invisalign. With their translucent appearance, clear aligners provide a more discreet option for those who would like to keep their treatment under wraps. When you come in for a consultation, we will happily discuss the benefits of each.
At your Shirley, NY, orthodontist and pediatric dentist, we can help straighten your smile to provide important health and cosmetic benefits. With either traditional braces or clear aligners, you can enjoy a more uniform grin that can be easier to clean. This helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease from further affecting your smile’s look.
