Then you may be considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypedoorthorandolph.com\/traditional-orthodontics.html\">traditional braces<\/a>, and there is no better time! After all, there are various types to choose from, including discreet clear aligners and the tried-and-true metal ones. With that being said, there are some important reasons to consider the latter. Here are a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So, When Are Braces the Best Option?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no denying the benefits of clear braces, like Invisalign. However, there is a reason traditional braces continue to be one of the most popular treatment options year after year. First, they can effectively address both mild and severe orthodontic issues. So, whether you want to close small gaps in your smile or correct severely rotated teeth, they can help. Furthermore, traditional braces are directly bonded to your teeth by a skilled orthodontist, ensuring they won\u2019t get lost or cause you to fall off-track with your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Important Benefits of Traditional Braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you aren\u2019t looking to address a moderate bite problem or severe crowding, there are a few important reasons to consider traditional braces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Less self-discipline<\/strong> \u2013 Since traditional braces aren\u2019t removable, you won\u2019t have to worry about neglecting to meet the 20-22 hour-a-day wear time.<\/li><li><strong>Eat and drink without worry <\/strong>\u2013 Although you will have to abide by dietary restrictions, like no corn on the cob or hard candies, you can eat or drink without worry. Conversely, you can only drink regular water with clear aligners in.<\/li><li><strong>Quicker turnaround time <\/strong>\u2013 It\u2019s true: traditional braces can take 18+ months to complete. However, many patients end up enjoying a shorter treatment timeline because they don\u2019t have to worry about switching to the right trays on time, meeting a wear time requirement, etc.<\/li><li><strong>You can\u2019t lose traditional braces <\/strong>\u2013 As mentioned above, traditional braces are adhered directly to your teeth and can only be removed by your orthodontist. So, unlike clear braces, you won\u2019t have to worry about losing them!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The position of your teeth plays a serious role in your ability to smile confidently, chew properly, and speak clearly. In short, investing in your smile can benefit more than just your appearance. If you\u2019re ready to take the next step, but aren\u2019t sure if traditional braces or clear alternatives are best for you, then get in touch with your orthodontist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplypedoorthorandolph.com\/\">Simply Pediatric Dentistry &amp; Orthodontics<\/a> offers one-stop convenience to patients of all ages!
