A majority of the patients we treat will end up choosing traditional metal braces as a way to straighten their teeth. While metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment, you have several other options as well.
After your free initial consultation, Dr. Glass will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
Fixed vs. Removable Appliances
In any discussion of orthodontic treatment, it’s important to understand the distinction between fixed and removable appliances. Fixed appliances, like braces, are attached to the teeth by metal bands or special cement and aren’t taken off until treatment is complete.
Removable appliances, like Invisalign’s® aligner system, are typically worn about 20-22 hours a day but can be easily taken off if needed.
Aside from the obvious difference of fixed vs. removable, Invisalign aligners are best at treating mild to moderate orthodontic problems. Fixed appliances are generally needed for more serious and comprehensive treatment.
