Visits to the dentist can sometimes end as one of those good news/bad news scenarios. One example is this: your teeth are healthy, now to discuss how we can proceed to get them all straightened out the way they should be – let’s talk braces. Oh, wow. The expense, the change in appearance, the pain… ‘Oh, please! Let there be options!’ you think.
To Brace or Not To Brace…
Every concern you may have about getting braces can be addressed with just one word: Invisalign. These are comparable in cost to braces, invisible and do not need periodic tightening. If Invisalign is right for you, other benefits include easy removal to properly brush and floss and the ability to eat meals without food getting stuck in between your teeth. The device also helps to straighten the teeth.
Braces and the Alternative
Discuss both options with your dentist to determine your best fit. If you are not convinced which is right for you, or you want more information, there are experts in the Lakeview area to answer questions and address concerns. Reasons for seeking information from different sources vary based on the patient but whatever the reason might be, it is beneficial to explore your options before committing to braces.
The Best Option
If you get the news from your dentist that braces should be considered, Lakeview offers many services that include Invisalign in Lakeview as an attractive alternative. Get the facts from different reputable sources and decide which method is best suited to your medical needs and personal preferences. Compare costs, length of time you would have to wear each option, the frequency of dental visits during the treatment period and how effective each method would be for your specific needs.
There is no need to sign up for metal braces if your dentist agrees that medically-speaking, Invisalign would be a viable substitute; there is also no need to hassle over stuck food morsels or painful adjustments. Keep in mind that neither option is right for everyone – consider professional advice and choose the one with more pros than cons.
