TYPES OF BRACES WE OFFER IN MATTHEWS NEAR WEDDINGTON AND STALLINGS, NC
At SP Orthodontics, we provide different types of braces for our patients. Braces are the most common orthodontic treatment for children, teens, and adults to straighten their teeth and realign their bites. However, unlike the braces you’d get in the past that were designed with shiny metals, you can now find a lot more variety with options that can be customized to your taste.
Our braces are designed with bands and wires as well as fixed or removable corrective appliances. If we determine that you’re a good candidate for braces after our orthodontic assessment, we will prescribe an oral appliance that meets your specific dental needs. The type of braces you get depends on the condition of your teeth as well as your specific preferences.
METAL BRACES
It is not unusual to think that metal braces are unattractive and distracting. Thankfully, we can now offer modern and aesthetically pleasing metal braces that are smaller, less noticeable, and more comfortable.
Our metal braces feature polished brackets and lighter wires. As a result, you won’t feel as much discomfort and irritation in your mouth. In addition, the elastics that fit around your brackets come in a wide range of colors. That means you can add colorful accents to your metal braces and give them a creative flare without spending extra money.
CERAMIC BRACES
Our ceramic braces work similarly to metal braces. Their winning distinction is that they are thinner, more aesthetically pleasing, less noticeable, and more comfortable than most traditional braces. Ceramic braces are sometimes called clear braces, tooth-colored braces, or aesthetic braces since they are made with polycrystalline ceramic – a material that resembles natural teeth – and have a more natural-looking appearance that blends perfectly with your teeth.
INVISALIGN
Compared to conventional metal braces, Invisalign is a lot more comfortable and can produce great results when worn. When you choose Invisalign, you will get a set of comfortable, custom-made, clear aligners that fit snugly over your teeth and straighten your smile. The aligners are also removable, making it easier for you to eat, drink, brush, and floss, maintaining proper nutrition and oral hygiene.
HOW DO BRACES WORK?
We provide braces Matthews, NC can trust for effective teeth alignment. So, how do our braces work? The answer is simpler than it may seem. Our braces are made of little squares called brackets that attach to each of your teeth. Wires run through these brackets, and tiny elastic bands, often called ligatures, fasten these archwires to the brackets. When these wires get tightened, they gently push or pull your teeth to where they need to go.
Over time, this gentle pressure moves your teeth into their desired position. This movement isn’t just related to your teeth – the bone around your teeth adjusts too, helping your teeth stay in alignment. However, you must visit your orthodontist regularly to tighten and adjust your braces and ensure your teeth move in the right direction. And before you know it voilà! You’ll have achieved a pair of straight teeth and a confident, beautiful new smile!
HOW FAST DO BRACES WORK AFTER BEING FITTED?
Every patient’s course of orthodontic treatment is different. Depending on the degree of misalignment that needs to be corrected, most people usually wear braces for one to three years. Carefully adhering to your orthodontist’s instructions may reduce the length of time you need to wear them.
HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR BRACES IN MATTHEWS NEAR STALLINGS AND WEDDINGTON, NC
You’ll need to avoid eating certain foods after getting your braces fitted since food particles can become stuck between your braces and your gum line. With braces, your teeth are more likely to trap foods that can cause tooth decay. You’ll want to avoid foods like popcorn, and hard candy, and chewing as much as possible. You’ll also need to pay attention to how frequently you consume starchy meals and sugary drinks, which can erode the enamel on your teeth.
