Gettysburg Braces
Traditional braces are still considered to be one of the most efficient orthodontic tools that we have today. The metal or ceramic brackets are attached to your teeth and then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. With the help of regular adjustments with our doctors, these components will work together to apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth where we want them to go.
Gettysburg braces are an excellent choice for correcting a number of both simple and complex problems that occur with your teeth. Because they sometimes work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other options might, overall treatment time can be slightly reduced. In addition, braces don’t require some of the expensive equipment or more complicated technology that newer treatments can. This makes Gettysburg braces a cost-effective orthodontic option for patients on a budget.
Gettysburg Invisalign
Rather than brackets and bands, the Gettysburg Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into alignment. Invisalign is currently the top alternative to traditional braces and is an incredibly popular choice with both patients and orthodontists.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and designed to fit snugly over your teeth. The trays are virtually invisible and are usually switched out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. This keeps the teeth moving in the right direction! In order for aligners to do their job, you have to wear them 20-22 hours every day during your treatment. Patients who neglect to wear the aligners as directed can have a negative impact on the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Invisalign works best when used to correct many of the most common orthodontic issues. Invisalign may not be a viable option for complex cases. A free consultation with Gettysburg Orthodontics will be able to help determine your eligibility for Invisalign.
