Lake View Braces

Braces Lake View, AL

Most people associate braces with their teenage years, but there’s no real age restriction on when you can fix your teeth alignment. Plus, the entire field of orthodontics has come a long way in recent years. There are many options for you to choose from, but the three most popular are metal braces, clear aligners, and clear braces.

Metal braces are the most “classic” solution. They’re a network of wires and rubber bands that slowly pull and push your teeth into the desired position. It may take a few months (or even a year or so) before you can have your braces removed, but they’re a tried-and-true method for getting teeth back in alignment. However, some patients find them uncomfortable, and they’re pretty noticeable.

Clear aligners are another excellent orthodontic option. More commonly known by the Invisalign trade name, these are custom-moulded trays that fit over your teeth. Every few weeks, you’ll change to a different tray. By the end of your treatment, the trays will have gradually put your teeth in place. It’s a step-by-step process, and you’ll have to swap your trays out in the proper sequence to get real results. Clear aligners are convenient and low-profile, but severe tooth misalignment may require something more.

Think of clear braces as a blend between the low-profile of aligners, and the efficacy of metal braces. They’re much less noticeable than their metal counterparts, but clear braces can also fix severe misalignment. But like the other orthodontic solutions you can choose from, you’ll need to talk it over with your Lake View braces professional to make sure they’re right for you.

Your orthodontist can answer your important questions about metal and clear braces - as well as clear aligners. And when the time is right and you’re ready to start treatment with teeth straightening braces, your orthodontist can get to work on restoring your smile.
