Fixed Vs Removable Appliances
Fixed Appliance - Braces
You've most likely heard of braces. they're the most common fixed appliance. They consist of bands, wires, and brackets. How do they work? The bands are the anchors held in place around your teeth. Brackets are attached to the front of your teeth. Arch wires connect the brackets to the bands. Tightening the archwires puts pressure on your teeth, slowly moving them towards their target position. Braces are usually adjusted monthly and are worn for a few months to a few years.
Removable Appliance - Invisalign
Looking for an alternative to metal braces? Here at Aesthetic Dental Zone, we offer Clear Aligner or also known as Invisalign. A simple and invisible cosmetic solution to achieving the smile you desire. Avoid fixed appliances (braces) and realign your teeth with a set of our aligners. They are comfortable, clear and easy to wear.
