Benefits of Clear and Traditional Braces

There are a variety of effective options to achieve a beautiful straight smile. From traditional metal braces to clear Invisalign aligners, each has their own unique benefits. At Millennium Family Dental, we provide a selection of orthodontic treatment options to discreetly straighten your teeth or even straighten your child's teeth if necessary.

Orthodontic Treatment Options at Millennium Family Dental

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Clear braces are custom made to correct mild to moderate misalignment and overcrowding dental issues. This visually discreet orthodontic treatment can go unnoticed by many. After you have chosen Invisalign, your dentists will send digital scans of your dental anatomy to an Invisalign lab which fabricates your invisible trays based on your unique dental needs. Upon receiving your clear braces, you and your dentist will review the treatment plan and discuss with you any concerns you may have. With this treatment plan, you are able to view your results before even waiting your aligners. This ensures that if you adhere to wearing them for the designated amount of time, the results will occur.  

Invisalign clear aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods.  You do not have to add any steps to your daily oral hygiene routine. Before reinserting them, you simply need to rinse your clear aligners under lukewarm water and thoroughly brush your teeth to remove any food debris.

Traditional Metal Braces

Traditional braces have been used for a long time are considered the most reliable solution to dental issues. They improve and correct mild to severe cases of misalignment, over or underbite, overcrowding, and gaps. This treatment option is perfect for developing smiles who may need to shape their jaw for a better alignment.

Metal wire braces allow your dentist more control to shift teeth to their necessary positions over time. While a more noticeable orthodontic method, they allow you to personalize your treatment and express your individuality with a wide range of colorful elastic bands available. If you are looking for a more inconspicuous option when receiving orthodontic work, there are tooth-colored bands available to have the braces blend in more with your natural teeth.
