If you’re considering orthodontics, there are a lot of options out there. For example, there are traditional braces—brackets and wires. You may also consider Invisalign clear aligners or cosmetic systems like Six Month Smiles.
It really depends on what you’re hoping to achieve through orthodontics in Corona, CA.
Comparing Invisalign to Braces and Six Month Smiles
In our dental office, we rely on Invisalign. This clear aligner system offers unique options. For example, the aligners are discreet; you can remove them while eating and cleaning your teeth. This is not the case with traditional braces. And we have found that patients prefer Invisalign over metal braces.
Invisalign is ideal for correcting mild to moderate orthodontic issues like overbites, crooked and twisted teeth, and inconsistent spacing.
The orthodontic timeframe with Invisalign may be several months or as long as two years.
Six Month Smiles focuses on your smile line (the teeth that show when you smile). Because of this, treatment times are typically much shorter—approximately six months. In addition, this system relies on white or tooth-colored brackets and wires for a more discreet orthodontic experience.
Invisalign contributes to improved oral health by aligning your bite, making the system both cosmetic and an oral health enhancer. Six Month Smiles is merely cosmetic. However, Six Month Smiles—depending on your specific orthodontic issues—can also contribute to improved oral health.
