What types of braces are available to straighten teeth?

Dr. Elliott of Weatherford Advanced Dentistry is pleased to provide invisible braces solutions such as Invisalign and ClearCorrect. Both of these treatments use aligner trays worn over the teeth to reposition the teeth in the dental arch slowly. They are reliable methods that allow patients to enjoy the benefits of modern orthodontics, avoiding the appearance and use of metal wires and brackets used in more traditional types of orthodontics.

How do invisible braces work?

Invisible braces such as ClearCorrect and Invisalign are a popular choice for many patients who come to Weatherford Advanced Dentistry seeking smile realignment. During the patient’s first appointment, digital scans are made of the smile. Then, the software used in our practice sends these impressions to a laboratory that creates a series of trays. The trays are clear plastic and worn over the dental arch to gradually move teeth into proper alignment. For patients with overcrowding, some permanent teeth may be removed to make room for the teeth to line up correctly. Patients wear each tray in the series in order for two weeks before switching to the next, allowing the teeth to move where they are needed.
