Choosing the right teeth-straightening method for you or your child can be difficult with so many alternatives on the market. While clear braces are becoming increasingly popular, traditional metal braces still offer many advantages. If you’re considering teeth straightening treatment for you or your little one, read on to discover four reasons why orthodontists may recommend traditional braces<\/a> as the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: They Are Not Removable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wearing braces can have various pros and cons depending on\nthe individual. Clear aligner wearers need to wear them for at least 20-22\nhours per day. However, since they can be taken out for snacking, this can lead\nto forgetfulness when it\u2019s time to put them back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional braces do not require the same level of\nself-discipline as clear aligners. Even so, they require more thorough cleaning\nto prevent oral health problems since they are not removable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Treatment Times Are Reduced <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal braces exert more force, making them a quicker\ntreatment option for closing small gaps or achieving quick alignment. In\ncontrast, clear aligners require around 40 trays and may need additional\nadjustments, making metal braces a better option for some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Responsibility Is Reduced for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proper oral hygiene is crucial for all types of braces.\nTraditional braces do not require removal during meals or cleaning, simplifying\nthe process. Invisalign can be a great option, but aligner misplacement can\ncause treatment delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear aligners may not be the ideal option for children who\noften misplace items such as keys, phone, or the TV remote. Traditional braces\ncan alleviate the responsibility of keeping track of the aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Superior Choice for Complex Issues <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal braces may be a more suitable option for individuals\nwith complex orthodontic issues. Clear aligners may not be able to evenly\ndistribute pressure to the teeth, which can limit their potential for\nrealignment. While aligners work well for minor adjustments, brackets offer\ngreater flexibility and are better equipped for complex cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
