Has your teenager expressed hesitance about the installation of traditional braces in order to straighten his or her teeth? You might be surprised to learn that the average dentist can offer worthwhile alternatives.
– As lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, they are not visible to the public.
– The Invisalign design offers a plastic shell that is entirely removable.
– Damon braces are fashioned with arched wires and fully transparent brackets.
“By the time they enter their teenage years, your child might not want to be burdened with having a visible set of braces.”
