These two ways of straightening crooked teeth may be used alone or in combination.
Dr. Yung has been treating patients using the traditional method since 1990 and Invisalign since 2004. Both produced some very impressive results.
Which one?
Invisalign can fit in easily with your lifestyle and is more discreet than braces. Invisalign aligners are easy to take out to eat or play sports. However, there are definitely limitations, pros and cons to both methods. Invisalign and braces are covered in similar amounts by most extended benefits. There is no age limit for straightening teeth, even people in their 40s to 60s can benefit. In some situations, it may be better to start treatment when a patient still has some baby teeth, whereas in others, it may be better to have all adult teeth.
Thus, it is important to visit the dentist for a consultation to determine the most suitable time to start. Make sure your gums and teeth are in good shape to get the best outcome from your orthodontic treatment. Either Invisalign or traditional braces can be used to treat the following:
- underbite
- crooked teeth
- crossbite
- gap teeth
- crowded teeth
- open bite.
