When it comes to achieving your best smile, there are many orthodontic options to choose from. Whether you’re looking for a discreet solution or a tried-and-true method, understanding the differences between Invisalign and traditional braces is essential. At Beecroft Orthodontics, we’re here to help you make an informed decision that suits your lifestyle and smile goals.
Invisalign: A Clear Path to Straight Teeth
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses clear aligners made from medical-grade plastic to gently shift your teeth into place. These aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, making them nearly invisible.
Key Benefits of Invisalign:
Discreet Appearance: Perfect for adults and teens who want a low-profile orthodontic option.
Removability: You can take out your aligners to eat, brush, and floss, maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
Comfort: No brackets or wires mean fewer mouth irritations.
However, Invisalign requires discipline—you’ll need to wear your aligners for at least 20–22 hours a day to stay on track.
Traditional Braces: Time-Tested Reliability
What are traditional braces?
Braces consist of brackets attached to the teeth and connected by wires, applying steady pressure to move your teeth over time.
Types of Braces We Offer:
Metal Braces: Durable and cost-effective.
Ceramic Braces: Less noticeable, blending with your teeth.
Lingual Braces: Hidden behind your teeth for ultimate discretion.
Key Benefits of Traditional Braces:
Suitable for all orthodontic cases, including severe misalignments.
No need to worry about removing them—they’re always working.
Beyond Straight Teeth: Retainers and Expanders
No matter which treatment you choose, maintaining your new smile is crucial. After completing Invisalign or braces, you’ll need a retainer—either a removable or permanent retainer—to keep your teeth in place.
For younger patients, an expander may be part of the treatment plan to create space and improve alignment before braces.
