With the availability of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners like Invisalign, you may be wondering why certain adults choose braces instead. Here are a few reasons.
Versatility
Braces are a durable and versatile method to fix almost any misalignment, no matter how complex. From small tooth adjustments to rotating and lengthening teeth, braces get the job done.
Efficiency
Thanks to ongoing innovations in design, today's braces are sleeker and more efficient at applying gentle, multi-directional force. This means braces treatment is now quieter and more effective, making the experience more comfortable and reassuring for everyone.
Consistency
As a fixed orthodontic treatment option, braces can be the best way to ensure treatment milestones are consistently met, and the process is completed as efficiently as possible.
