Are you contemplating orthodontic treatment but torn between metal braces and clear aligners? It’s not always an easy decision, as both options offer unique benefits and experiences. At Hinsdale Orthodontist we take our time to listen to your needs, for a personalized orthodontic solution that works for you. We serve patients of all ages and offer the latest market-leading solutions for both Damon braces and clear aligners, so if you’re considering either of these orthodontic treatments, contact our team to discuss your treatment options.
Let’s take an initial look at Damon braces and modern aligners and the advantages of these two popular orthodontic solutions.
Damon Braces: Basics and Benefits
Metal braces, known for their durability and effectiveness, have long been the standard in orthodontics for people of all ages. The Damon braces we offer at Hinsdale Orthodontist bring you the most recent and advanced iteration of the traditional metal braces concept.
Damon braces are custom-designed for each individual, incorporating a unique self-ligating system that forgoes the need for elastic bands or ties. This innovative feature allows the braces to hold the archwire within a built-in mechanism, applying a gentler force for natural tooth movement. Patients often report reduced discomfort with Damon braces compared to traditional options.
Additionally, Damon braces streamline the orthodontic process. They work continuously, applying consistent pressure to the teeth. This can lead to more efficient treatment times, especially in complex cases. They are a particularly effective solution for closing gaps and aligning teeth, sometimes more swiftly than other options. Moreover, Damon braces are always on, eliminating concerns about misplacing or forgetting them, a common issue with removable aligners.
Clear Aligners: Features and Advantages
Clear aligners provide a discreet and modern solution for straightening teeth, with a focus on aesthetics and comfort. At Hinsdale Orthodontist, we offer two leading brands in this category: Spark Aligners and Invisalign. These aligners are custom-fabricated using a digital scan of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. Their removable nature simplifies eating, brushing, and flossing, while the smooth, comfortable plastic material makes them almost invisible when worn.
Treatment with clear aligners typically involves a series of 18-30 sets, with many patients completing their orthodontic journey in 6-12 months. This efficient and inconspicuous method aligns teeth gently and gradually, adhering to a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Clear aligners from Spark and Invisalign at Hinsdale Orthodontist represent a blend of innovative technology and patient-centered care, providing an effective and less noticeable alternative to traditional braces.
