[GARFORTH, 12/10/2017] Straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they are also easier to clean and less likely to create oral health problems in the long-run.

At Enhancedental, it is appreciated that not everyone likes the idea of metal braces. Luckily, dentistry has come a long way and modern braces are effective, lightweight and more discreet than ever. At Enhancedental, patients can choose from a wide variety of modern braces to treat diverse oral problems. Thanks to the permanent retention, patients can be assured that their teeth will not move after their treatment is completed at Enhancedental.

Metal braces

If the term metal braces brings in mind unattractive metal brackets and wires, then this could not be further from the truth. Modern metal braces have advanced to reduce treatment time, while they are more lightweight and versatile than before. Metal braces at Enhancedental can correct even the most complicated dental issues, but they are difficult to clean and therefore require thorough oral care and commitment. Patients who are not fussed about the aesthetics of their smile while they go through treatment, simply can’t go wrong with them.

Invisalign

At Enhancedental, Invisalign braces are also available for patients who wish to straighten their teeth discreetly without compromising their lifestyle. This innovative treatment consists of a series of transparent, custom-made, plastic, removable aligners, which are replaced every two weeks in order to help the teeth move into their correct position. The dentist at Enhancedental will take impressions of each patient’s teeth and create the invisible aligners with the help of 3D technology. This will enable them to monitor the treatment and adjust the movements required for the straightening of the teeth.

Invisalign aligners at Enhancedental are made of high-quality plastic that fits comfortably over the teeth and gums. The aligners are removable and they can be taken out to eat or brush and floss. However, be careful to wear them at least 20 hours per day for effective treatment. Treatment time is different from patient to patient, however, most Invisalign patients at Enhancedental have their teeth straightened within 9- 12 months.
