Below is more Information for Orthodontic Treatment.
Orthodontic applications are made of metal, ceramic or plastic. These can be removable or bonded to your teeth. The braces work by placing a gentle force in a controlled direction. The treatment is to slowly move your existing teeth to the proper position that results into a beautiful smile.
You no longer have to settle for metal bands with brackets placed around each tooth. You now have the choice of clear, colored or metal brackets. The wires that we use today are less noticeable, and are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. With today’s advancement in orthodontics it is never too late to have a beautiful smile. Before beginning your orthodontic care, Dr. Watiker will discuss all of your options and a time line for your orthodontic treatment.
Here are a couple of choices for cosmetic braces.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of invisible aligners to straighten your teeth. No one can see that you are wearing braces because they're invisible! The aligners are invisible and removable. You can eat and drink what you want while using these. Brushing and flossing become a lot easier. The aligners are comfortable and cause less mouth abrasions during treatment.
