Orthodontics are constantly changing and improving, so if you’re thinking about straightening your teeth, you have more options than your parents did. While there’s no harm in going for classic, traditional metal braces, you may want to consider faster, more comfortable alternatives. Here’s what you should know about current trends in orthodontic treatments and how they can benefit you.
Invisible Aligners
Traditional braces are quite noticeable and draw attention to your mouth. If you’re a shy person or you’d rather have the ability to improve your teeth discreetly, you’ll appreciate the current trend of invisible orthodontics. Invisalign® clear braces are continuing to rise in popularity, and it isn’t difficult to see why. The clear plastic aligners are not only inconspicuous, but they’re also surprisingly comfortable because they are made from smooth, non-protruding plastic that won’t scratch your mouth.
Faster Treatment Times
Wearing traditional braces for up to two years is well worth the result you get in the end, but what if there were a faster way to perfect your smile? Fortunately, there is. Short-term orthodontic solutions are popping up all over, and Fastbraces® is one of the most notable. In as little as 120 days, the accelerated teeth-straightening system can deliver the smile you’ve always wanted. While it uses the standard wire-and-bracket design, the brackets are shaped like triangles and cut down on treatment duration by moving both the root and crown of each tooth at once.
The Fastbraces® system delivers accurate results with less discomfort and fewer appointments than standard braces. Ask your dentist about this option if you are eager to improve the way you look in minimal time.
