Metal Braces Everett
There is a reason why metal braces are still commonly used today. They are efficient and effective – and the friendliest to your budget. The treatment is ideal for all patients because the braces can apply the force necessary to transform even the most difficult malocclusion.
The good news is, braces have come a long way. No longer do our patients have to worry about being called a metal mouth. Today’s brackets are sleeker than ever, and you can even opt for clear or ceramic brackets that will blend in with your natural smile.
And if you want the efficiency of metal braces paired with the highest level of discretion, there are even lingual braces that fit along the tongue side of your teeth. These Everett braces are completely invisible to others, yet offer the dependency people have come to trust with metal braces.
But, there is of course a downside, as with anything in life. Traditional bracket and wire braces, unless you opt for the lingual version, will be visible to others. Everett Metal braces are the strongest and most efficient type of braces, but they are also the most visible to others.
How Do I Find My Best Smile?
Bracket and wire braces also require you to avoid certain foods during your Everett Orthodontics treatment. Some foods, such as those that are too sticky, crunchy, hard, or chewy, can damage the brackets and wires, so you have to take care to avoid them.
You also have to pay close attention to your oral care. The brackets and wires create a lot of nooks and crannies where food debris can hide, so pay careful attention when brushing and flossing.
