At Bayou Braces and Dentistry, we provide both traditional metal braces and clear braces in Baton Rouge, LA. Though they've been around since your great grandfather learned to lace his boots, braces have come a long way. Orthodontists have developed sophisticated and personalized systems to gradually guide your teeth into a neat line free of gaps, crowding, uneven bites, and other functional or cosmetic concerns. Our orthodontist, Dr. Thuy Nguyen, and colleagues want you to have pearly whites to brag about to your friends, inspiring envy and rage for the new teeth they don't have.
Traditional braces are still the most effective treatment option for many orthodontic issues. They enable us to correct your teeth's alignment by planning the treatment down to the individual shifts of each tooth. This treatment has dramatic and life-changing results. Here are some of the issues that traditional braces can correct:
- Misalignment
- Gaps between the teeth
- Overcrowding
- Protruding teeth
- Underbites
- Overbites
- Crossbites
The most crucial factor to consider before deciding on a type of treatment is the effectiveness of your orthodontic care. Getting orthodontic care is all about having beautiful, healthy teeth.
Because of the sophistication of this system, treatment times are short and effective. Patients who choose traditional braces wear them for one to three years. They are a good investment of your time because they provide a lifetime of dental health.
Traditional braces are designed to last the duration of your orthodontic treatment. Steel and titanium are the most common materials used to make them. You won't have to worry about them breaking as long as you avoid a few crunchy snacks, hard veggies, and other forbidden foods.
Traditional braces are left in your mouth until your treatment is complete. This ensures that your care is never interrupted. Clear aligners in Baton Rouge, LA, are a popular treatment option and can be removed for brushing and eating. While this is great for people who want to avoid food restrictions, it also means that patients must be extremely cautious not to lose them, and they lose effectiveness if they are not worn for 22 hours per day.
As a result, traditional braces are an excellent choice for children and adults who do not want to be concerned about the effectiveness of their orthodontic treatment. With this system, the braces do all the work once you get home from the orthodontist's office.
