At Szymanowski Orthodontics, we understand the transformative power of a brilliant smile. Our skilled team in Sacramento, led by the expertise and dedication of Dr. Damon, is committed to offering high-quality orthodontic care tailored to the unique needs and preferences of adults (that’s you). Utilizing contemporary techniques and cutting-edge technology, we provide a variety of treatment possibilities. In this blog post, we’ll explore the three main types of braces that are perfect for adults, helping you make an educated decision for your orthodontic care. Let’s dive in!
Embrace the Invisible: Clear Braces
Dr. Damon’s innovative clear braces are perfect for those seeking a subtle route to a straighter smile. These braces blend seamlessly with your smile and are made from a transparent material that closely matches your teeth’s natural color. They appeal to adults who wish to maintain a professional appearance during treatment.
Benefits of clear braces include:
- Aesthetics: Their virtually invisible nature allows you to confidently undergo treatment without worrying about your appearance.
- Strength and Durability: Despite their delicate appearance, clear braces are sturdy and reliable, making them a viable option for adults with complex dental conditions.
- Precision and Comfort: Their compact design facilitates accurate tooth alignment, and their smooth texture minimizes discomfort, providing a more enjoyable treatment experience.
- Easy Maintenance: Clear braces require minimal maintenance and are less prone to staining, ensuring they remain discreet throughout treatment. However, it is essential to maintain proper oral hygiene to keep them looking their best.
Old But Gold: Traditional Metal Braces
We are pleased to provide Sacramento with classic metal braces, a tried and true orthodontic solution. These braces are preferred by many due to their affordability and proven effectiveness. We use the most advanced metal braces at Szymanowski Orthodontics to ensure patient comfort and convenience.
Benefits of metal braces include:
- Comfort and Compactness: Our contemporary self-ligating braces are more comfortable and compact than older versions.
- Versatility: They can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, making them an ideal choice for adults with complex dental needs.
- Customization: Metal braces can be personalized with colored elastics, allowing you to express your style during your orthodontic journey.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Traditional metal braces are typically more affordable than other orthodontic options, making them an attractive choice for budget-conscious patients.
Revolutionary Orthodontics: Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners offer an alternative solution for adults desiring the utmost discretion and simplicity in their treatment. These virtually invisible aligners mean you can correct your smile without anyone noticing.
Benefits of Invisalign aligners include:
- Removable Design: You can easily remove the aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, ensuring no changes to your diet or oral hygiene routine.
- Comfort: The smooth plastic material of the aligners minimizes discomfort, promising a pleasant treatment experience.
- Fewer Visits: With no bracket or wire adjustments, Invisalign requires fewer trips to the orthodontist’s office.
- Digital Treatment Planning: Invisalign utilizes advanced digital technology to create a customized treatment plan, allowing you and Dr. Damon to monitor progress and adjust as needed.
Understanding Treatment Duration
A common question among our team’s adult patients is how long their orthodontic treatment will take. The duration of your treatment will depend on several factors, including the complexity of your orthodontic issues, the type of braces chosen, and your individual response to treatment. However, advancements in orthodontic technology mean that treatment times are typically shorter than in the past. Whew! Not as bad as you thought, huh?
- Clear Braces: Treatment with clear braces usually takes about the same time as traditional metal braces. On average, you can expect to wear them for one to three years, depending on the severity of your orthodontic issues.
- Metal Braces: You will typically wear traditional metal braces for one to three years. However, the exact timeline will depend on your individual case and the complexity of your dental needs.
- Invisalign: Invisalign treatment often takes less time than traditional braces, with an average treatment duration of six to eighteen months. However, patient compliance is critical to a shorter treatment time with Invisalign. The aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours daily, and failing can extend treatment time.
