What are the benefits of braces?
Orthodontic treatment commonly referred by wearing braces has multiple benefits. Traditionally mostly teenagers get metal braces. Dental care has changed since.
Generally new patients based on their age seek orthodontic treatment.
Braces for kids mostly focus on helping with managing spaces for transition of baby teeth to adult teeth. This sometime involve modifying skeletal growth. Pediatric or General dentistry in combination of orthodontics assist kids with lots of treatment options to address dental or skeletal issues. Palatal spreaders, facemask, partial braces or clear aligners are common dental appliances we use for kids.
Teenagers generally have all their adult teeth. To improve their dental health and boost their confidence, teens receive orthodontic treatment. Treatment options for teens are braces in various types, invisalign or clear aligners, lingual braces (braces behind the teeth). We work with cosmetic dentists for patients with small teeth especially the front teeth.
Orthodontic care for adults is very different from kids and teens. To render highest quality of care most adult orthodontic treatment needs collaboration with other fields like: periodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, oral surgery. Adults needs dental implants, veneers, crown and bridges and gum procedures like grafts. Combining cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics, most adult patients can wear the beautiful smile that they never had a chance to have.

Invisalign vs clear aligners?
Invisalign also referred as Invisalene or Invisaline is a name of a specific brand of aligners. Invisalign was the first computer aid generated aligner. The product has multiple iteration and advances since 20 years ago and is one of the oldest aligner on the market. Patients are always asking what is the difference between clear aligners and Invisalign. Basically, lots of various aligner brands are available these days: ClearCorrect, 3M clarity, Spark, Suresmile Aligner, uLab Aligner, etc. All of these aligners vary on how they are fabricated, the 3D printers that are used to make the mold for these aligners.
