Modern Braces vs. Traditional Braces

Today’s braces have come a long way since old-fashioned metal ‘train track’ braces:

– Tooth-coloured braces are now available as well as braces that fit to the back of the teeth, meaning they are barely visible or not visible at all.

– Clear aligners are transparent and removable when you eat, sleep and attend special events.

– Modern braces are far more comfortable in the mouth and also more durable than old braces, meaningless orthodontic dentist visits are required.

Consumers ultimately have more options and flexibility in their orthodontic appliances – leading to a more pleasant and satisfying treatment experience.

Talk to your dentist about the best orthodontic options for your situation. No one ever regretted getting their teeth straightened!
