Alignment Conventional Braces

When you think of orthodontic treatment you probably immediately think of those metal braces that look like train tracks. Although these traditional braces are still one of the most effective treatment options out there for straightening teeth, they’re not like they used to be.

How do conventional braces work?

Conventional braces work using individual brackets and archwires to move your teeth into position. Each bracket is fitted to the surface of your tooth and the archwire is slotted into these brackets. As the archwire attempts to straighten using light force from elastic bands, it gradually moves your teeth into their desired position.

How long do conventional braces take?

This depends on your orthodontic requirements and every case is different; however, you can expect conventional braces to take anywhere between 12 and 24 months.

Who are conventional braces for?

Conventional braces are suitable for all patients, from children and teens to adults. Although other orthodontic treatments, such as Invisalign, are being increasingly used, conventional braces are still an effective treatment option, particularly for the more complex cases.

Types of conventional braces

Metal braces: The traditional conventional braces use stainless steel brackets, giving that ‘train track’ look. However, these days the brackets are much smaller, making them less noticeable and more comfortable to wear. They also come in different colours.

Porcelain braces: These conventional braces use porcelain brackets which blend in with the colour of your teeth. This makes them a more aesthetically pleasing option. At vdh , we always use high quality brackets, making sure you have the most comfortable and aesthetic treatment possible. We will discuss the most appropriate appliance design for you at your initial consultation

WHAT CAN INVISALIGN DO FOR YOU?

Invisalign is a proven way to achieve healthy tooth movement with ease of brushing and flossing, and without the unsightly appearance of metal brackets! Invisalign are clear, durable plastic retainers gently guiding your teeth to its appropriate alignment while those around you don’t notice you’re receiving orthodontic work.

MOST PEOPLE ARE GREAT CANDIDATES FOR THIS TREATMENT:

• Allows you to eat and drink whatever you enjoy
• Brush and floss normally ensuring great periodontal health

• Virtually invisible teeth-straitening

Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a comprehensive evaluation of your mouth. Then, the doctors will take impressions of your teeth by using 3D imaging technology to customize your aligners. You will receive your smooth aligners, which won’t irritate your teeth or gums.

CONVENIENCE AND COMFORT WITH INVISALIGN.

• Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• Prior to accepting the treatment, you can see what your teeth are going to look, and how long it’s going to take you to get there, even before you accept the treatment.
• You wear each set of aligners for about one-two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position prescribed.
• Total treatment time averages 9 – 15 months, and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

A HEALTHIER MOUTH STARTS WITH STRAIGHTER TEETH.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INVISALIGN?

Straightening and repositioning misaligned teeth have more impact than only a beautiful smile, leaving crooked teeth as they are, impacts your overall oral health. Crooked teeth increase the chances of developing gum disease, which ultimately leads to tooth loss and bad breath if left untreated or unmanaged.

Aside from a more pleasing aesthetic appearance of your teeth, you will have teeth that are better positioned to last for a lifetime. It is an investment in your health to correct orthodontic problems.

IMPROVE YOUR SELF-CONFIDENCE.

Dental issues such as crooked or protruding teeth affecting teenagers and adults often make them feel very unattractive. Notably, in the case of teens, if they lack the right self-confidence going into adulthood, they are much more likely to suffer from negative feelings from their friends and peers.
