2010
Thousands of people have treatment for crooked teeth each year. Orthodontic problems are very common but there are many different treatments available that can help to straighten the teeth and make the patient’s smile look more attractive.
Types of treatment
Nowadays, there is a huge variety of tooth straightening treatments available to patients. Dentists in Halifax can offer a number of different services; the most common treatments include traditional fixed braces, Invisalign invisible braces, Damon braces, 6 month smile braces, lingual braces and the Inman aligner. Each treatment has its advantages and disadvantages and your dentist can explain these to you during your consultation.
Which teeth straightening treatment should I choose?
Your dentist should be able to tell you which treatment will suit you best; they will take into account your budget, your orthodontic problems and any requirements or particular preferences you may have. If you are worried about how the brace will look you may be advised to go for a more subtle looking brace, such as the 6 month smile brace or the Invisalign invisible brace. If you want to get the treatment over and done as quickly as possible and don’t have complex orthodontic problems, you may be advised to go for the 6 month smile system or the Inman aligner, as these treatments produce results very quickly in comparison to other methods.
How long does treatment take?
Most tooth straightening treatments take at least 12 months; however, the Inman aligner, Damon braces and the 6 month smile system take a much shorter period of time. The total treatment time will depend on which method you go for.
Is treatment expensive?
Dental treatment isn’t cheap, but most patients find that it makes such a difference to their appearance and the way they live their lives, that the cost is well worth it. The cost of treatment varies according to which method you choose; some treatments, such as the 6 month smile system and the Inman aligner are much cheaper than other treatments, including traditional fixed braces and Invisalign invisible braces.
