Our orthodontist here at Beeston Dental will thoroughly examine your teeth and discuss your dental history with you. They will also take digital scans of your mouth to create a personalised treatment plan. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and understand the differences between fixed braces and Invisalign. By the end of the consultation, you’ll have a clear picture of the proposed treatment, the expected duration, and the costs involved.
Fitting fixed braces involves the attachment of brackets to the teeth and the threading of the archwire. Regular adjustment appointments are necessary to tighten the wire and ensure the teeth are moving correctly. With Invisalign treatment, you’ll wear each set of removable aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set. These aligners can be taken out for mealtimes and brushing.
After your braces are removed, or you finish your Invisalign course, you’ll be provided with a retainer. Wearing this retainer as directed by your orthodontist is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and using an antiseptic mouthwash can help keep your teeth and gums healthy going forwards.
Fixed dental braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They consist of brackets made of metal, ceramic, or other tooth-coloured material, that are bonded to the front of each tooth, connected by a thin archwire.
Tiny rubber bands, known as ligatures, hold the archwire in place.
These braces work by applying continuous pressure over time, gradually moving the teeth into the desired position. The archwire, which will be periodically adjusted by your orthodontist, will guide the teeth along the path set by the braces.
Fixed braces are highly effective at treating a wide range of dental issues, from simple alignment problems to more complex malocclusions. Unlike removable aligners, fixed braces remain in place, providing consistent pressure on the teeth, which can lead to more predictable and stable results.
Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are made from clear, smooth plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. This allows patients to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of metal brackets and wires.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit snugly, but comfortably, over your teeth, gently shifting them into the desired position over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series, gradually moving your teeth towards their final, aligned positions.
These braces are also removable, providing the flexibility to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions. This means your oral hygiene routine will remain uncompromised throughout the treatment period.
Made from smooth plastic, Invisalign aligners are comfortable to wear. They eliminate the irritation and soreness that often comes with metal brackets and wires. Additionally, their clear design makes them virtually invisible, allowing you to maintain your natural smile without the aesthetic concerns of traditional braces. They are also a convenient option for busy social lives, given their removability. You can easily take them out for eating, drinking, and special occasions.
Deciding on the right orthodontic treatment can be overwhelming, but our experienced orthodontist can guide you through the process by providing a thorough assessment and discussing your treatment plan options with you.
Fixed braces, known for their reliability and effectiveness, are a traditional choice that can correct a wide range of dental issues. They are a great option for those who need precise and consistent adjustments. Invisalign braces offer a more modern, discreet solution.
