FAQ

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are a great option for busy moms who are living their life to the fullest and do not want anyone to know they are currently undergoing teeth corrections. Lingual braces King George has to offer are actually hidden behind each tooth, and therefore are very discreet. These types of braces are also individually formed for your mouth and offer a close contact, personalized feel that makes it a feasible option for many different types of individuals.

Lingual braces are also a great option for:

  • Professionals who do not wish to have metal braces showing

  • Musicians that are involved with wind instruments

  • Athletes who are involved in contact sports

  • Individuals who are actively modeling

  • Individuals in the field of acting

Invisalign

Invisalign is another great option to fix slanted teeth. Invisalign is a form of realignment tool that uses a series of clear aligners to re-adjust your teeth. Since the aligners are clear, no one has to know that you are currently wearing them, so you can carry on with your normal life and not be self conscious.

Many great benefits of Invisalign include:

  • Removable

  • No hassle during teeth brushing or eating

  • Comfortable

  • Clear and discreet

  • Causes no abrasions as some metal options do

  • Often takes less time to correct the issue than traditional types of braces

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are another discreet option for correcting your slanted teeth. Ceramic braces are much like traditional, metal braces, except that ceramic braces blend to the color of your teeth. Ceramic braces are more often used on adults than on children due to the fact that adults are often more concerned about cosmetics than children are.

Minor disadvantages of ceramic braces:

  • Much more brittle than metal braces

  • Larger than metal braces

  • Require closer attention to personal hygiene

Although ceramic braces do have minor disadvantages, there are also several advantages to these types of braces. These advantages include:

  • Nearly invisible while on the teeth

  • Much more comfortable that older, more traditional sets of braces

  • No worries of having to remember to wear as with Invisalign

  • Better oral hygiene practices typically become a habit
