At Drs. Savage, Sabol & Visser, we understand that choosing between traditional braces and Invisalign can be a tough decision. Both options are designed to straighten your teeth and give you a healthier, more confident smile, but they work in slightly different ways. So, which one is the best fit for you?
Braces:
Traditional braces are a tried-and-true method for correcting dental misalignments, particularly for more severe cases. Made up of metal brackets and wires, braces are attached to your teeth and periodically adjusted by your orthodontist to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Since braces are fixed in place, there’s no risk of losing them, but they do require extra care when it comes to cleaning and avoiding certain foods. If you’re looking for a more discreet option, we offer ceramic braces with tooth-colored brackets.
Invisalign:
For patients seeking a nearly invisible solution, Invisalign offers clear, removable aligners that are custom-made to move your teeth into place. Since they’re removable, you’ll have more flexibility with eating and cleaning your teeth, but they must be worn at least 22 hours per day to be effective. Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues and is a great option for busy adults or teens who want a more aesthetic approach.
At Drs. Savage, Sabol & Visser, we will guide you through the process of selecting the right treatment for your specific needs. To schedule a consultation and learn more about your options, give us a call at 757-264-6925.
