Traditional Braces
We’ve all seen what braces look like – silver brackets with wires all the way around. Let’s face it; people don’t choose traditional braces based on how attractive they are, but ultimately on what they can do.
The truth is that braces can do everything that clear aligners can do, and then some. Indeed, braces cannot achieve what functional appliances can in creating space and widening arches. But for teeth that require significant rotation or vertical alignment, braces are the only tool that can effectively get the job done.
Traditional braces can be used in any case where clear aligners might also be an option. But for people with significant bite discrepancies, TMJ disorders, or rotational concerns, traditional braces are often the best choice for primary or secondary treatment.
The benefits of traditional braces

- Allows for continuous tooth movement, even while eating and cleaning teeth

- Teeth that require significant vertical realignment
The drawbacks of traditional braces.
- Eating and cleaning teeth with braces on can sometimes be more difficult
- Adjustment to treatment may be longer and initially include more discomfort for the cheeks and lips
- Least invisible option available
