Metal and Clear Braces
For the vast majority of orthodontic patients, wearing fixed appliances (commonly called braces) will be a major part of treatment — and those braces, for the most part, will be the familiar silvery-metal type. But while they're still quite popular, traditional-looking metal braces are no longer the only game in town! Let's have a look at some of the options available in orthodontic appliances.
First, we should distinguish between fixed and removable appliances. Fixed appliances like braces are attached to the teeth by metal bands or special cement. They aren't normally taken off until treatment is complete. Removable appliances, such as clear aligners, are typically worn some 22 hours per day, but may be easily taken off as needed. While clear aligners can be effective in treating mild to moderate orthodontic problems, fixed appliances are generally needed for more comprehensive treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign® straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It's virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth.
We are a top Invisalign provider in Raleigh, NC!
Dr. Gina Lee is proud to be an Elite Provider of Invisalign. We are honored to receive such wonderful recognition from Invisalign.
As one of the few orthodontists in the Raleigh area to reach this significant Invisalign Elite Provider designation, Dr. Lee says her vast experience with the alignment system has helped her handle a number of difficult cases as well as successfully push the limits of what Invisalign can accomplish for her patients’ satisfaction.
Orthodontics for Kids
You probably know that it's never too late to begin orthodontic treatment — but when it comes to your youngster's teeth, did you know that earlier may be better than later? According to the American Association of Orthodontists, kids should have an initial orthodontic screening at age 7. What makes early evaluation — and potentially, early treatment — so important?
There are several ways that kids can benefit from seeing an orthodontist at an early age. But it's important to recognize that early evaluation isn't necessarily followed by early treatment; in most cases, if orthodontic work is needed, we simply monitor your child's growth patterns until we see that it's time for treatment to begin. This gives us an opportunity to get the best results in the most efficient way, and to help prevent future problems.
Orthodontics for Teens
Are you searching for the perfect solution to give your teenager a confident, beautiful smile? Look no further than orthodontics for teens by Brier Creek Orthodontics! Adolescence is the ideal time to address orthodontic concerns and ensure a lifetime of healthy, aligned teeth.
Orthodontics for teens offers a range of treatment options, including traditional braces and modern alternatives like Invisalign Teen. These treatments can correct issues such as overcrowding, misaligned bites, and crooked teeth, not only improving your teen's smile but also their overall oral health.
One key advantage of orthodontics for teens is that it can help prevent potential dental problems in the future. Addressing orthodontic issues early can reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and jaw pain, while promoting proper speech and chewing abilities.
Orthodontics for Adults
We're seeing more and more adult orthodontic patients these days, and it's not hard to figure out why. Barely noticeable appliances, like Invisalign, have been developed to give adults more discreet choices when it comes to orthodontic treatment. And many adults realize that investing in a smile makeover can have significant benefits, socially and professionally. Straightening teeth can be an important part of that confidence-boosting makeover process.
Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, so there's no such thing as being too old for braces. However, orthodontic treatment for adults is different in two important respects: For one thing, the growth and development of the jaw are complete in adults, so changes in actual jaw structure can't be accomplished with orthodontic appliances in the way they can with a growing child.
