A variety of orthodontic treatments are available to fix crooked teeth. The most popular braces in Coral Springs are traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. The decision can be difficult if you qualify for all three types. That's why we've come up with a brief description of each type so you can choose which may work best for you.
The most common type of braces is traditional metal braces. People prefer them because they’re effective and can treat even the most severe orthodontic cases despite how bulky and uncomfortable they are. Metal braces have brackets attached to each tooth while arch wires run across them. Unlike clear aligners, metal braces are cemented into place and will only be removed once your treatment is over.
The biggest difference between ceramic and metal braces is that ceramic braces are more discreet because of the color of the material used. It’s a great option for those not qualified for clear aligners and are looking for a less visible way of straightening their teeth. As for cost, ceramic braces are more expensive than metal braces but more affordable than clear aligners.
Clear aligners are removable trays uniquely designed to move your teeth until they are properly aligned. Since they are removable, you must be disciplined to put them back on after eating or brushing. This treatment is ideal for mild to moderate dental issues but not for complex cases.
