Over the last decade or so, discreet teeth-straightening options, like Invisalign, have skyrocketed in popularity. With the comfortable, removable, and practically undetectable trays, it\u2019s not hard to see why. With that being said, there are lots of benefits of traditional braces<\/a> that shouldn\u2019t be dismissed. To learn what they are, read on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. You Can\u2019t Lose Traditional Braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having removable braces is certainly a perk when it comes time to eat, but it also brings the added responsibility of making sure you don\u2019t lose them. Especially since replacing your clear aligners often requires more time and money to be spent on your treatment. Traditional braces, on the other hand, can only be removed by a professional, ensuring they stay securely in place until it\u2019s time to take them off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Traditional Braces Can Correct Severe Orthodontic Issues Too<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another perk of traditional braces is that they can effectively address a broad range of orthodontic issues. As a result, whether you\u2019re struggling with minor spacing issues or severely rotated teeth, you can achieve the straight, healthy, and beautiful smile you\u2019ve been dreaming of. Just make sure to keep up with your adjustment appointments to stay on track with your treatment plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Traditional Braces Often Yield Quicker Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although Invisalign boasts a 12-18 month average treatment timeline, many patients end up needing more time to work through their series of trays. The most common reason? Because they accidentally misplaced their aligners. Since you can\u2019t misplace traditional braces, chances are you\u2019ll be able to stick to your original treatment timeline as long as you stick to your dietary restrictions, take care of your teeth, and do your part to prevent broken brackets and wires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. No Need for a Third-Party Lab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true: Invisalign doesn\u2019t require as many check-in appointments. This discreet teeth-straightening solution, however, does necessitate the use of a third-party lab. Traditional braces, on the other hand, can be adjusted on the spot by your orthodontist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Traditional Braces Don\u2019t Require Additional Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you choose clear aligners or traditional braces, implementing a solid oral hygiene routine is crucial. With trays, you\u2019ll need to add a few extra steps, like brushing them daily and rinsing them frequently. The same cannot be said for metal braces \u2013 they will get cleaned during your normal dental care regimen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you know a few important perks of traditional braces! If you are interested in finding out if this tried-and-true treatment is right for you, talk to your orthodontist today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
