What Are Braces and Aligners?

Braces and aligners are orthodontic treatments designed to correct misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, gaps, and bite issues, such as overbites or underbites. Traditional braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to shift teeth into proper alignment gradually. Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are removable, transparent trays that offer a discreet alternative. At Prime Smile Dental Clinic, we provide both options to suit your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences, addressing concerns like:

• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Crowded teeth or gaps
• Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
• Jaw misalignment affecting the bite
• Difficulty chewing or speaking due to alignment issues

We aim to create a healthy, beautiful smile that enhances your appearance and improves oral function.

The Braces and Aligners Process

At Prime Smile Dental Clinic, we streamline the orthodontic process to ensure comfort and clarity. Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation: Our orthodontists evaluate your teeth, bite, and jaw using digital X-rays and scans to create a tailored treatment plan.
2. Treatment Planning: We discuss your braces or aligners options and recommend the best choice based on your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
3. Fitting or Fabrication: We bond brackets to your teeth and connect them with wires for braces. For aligners, we create a series of custom trays using 3D technology.
4. Active Treatment: You’ll wear braces or aligners as prescribed, with periodic adjustments or new aligner sets to guide teeth into alignment.
5. Follow-Up and Retention: Regular check-ups monitor progress. After treatment, a retainer ensures your new smile stays in place.

Treatment duration varies (typically 6 months to 2 years) depending on the complexity of your case, but aligners often offer faster results for mild issues.

Benefits of Braces and Aligners

Orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners offers numerous advantages for NYC patients:

• Improved Aesthetics: Achieve a straighter, more attractive smile that boosts confidence.
• Better Oral Health: Aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
• Enhanced Function: Corrected bites improve chewing, speaking, and jaw comfort.
• Discreet Options: Clear aligners and ceramic braces offer subtle solutions for a professional appearance.
• Long-Lasting Results: Your aligned smile can last a lifetime with proper retention.

Are Braces or Aligners Right for You?

Braces and aligners are suitable for patients of all ages seeking to correct misalignment, gaps, or bite issues. Clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate cases and those prioritising discretion, while braces are better for complex cases. During your consultation at Prime Smile Dental Clinic, our orthodontists will assess your dental health and recommend the best option to achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.

How to Care for Braces and Aligners

Proper care ensures the success of your orthodontic treatment. Follow these tips:

• Brush and floss diligently to clean teeth and braces, or clean aligners with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Avoid sticky or hard foods (like gum or popcorn) with braces to prevent damage.
• Wear aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, or cleaning.
• Attend regular appointments at Prime Smile Dental Clinic for adjustments and progress checks.
• Use retainers as prescribed post-treatment to maintain your results.

With consistent care, your braces or aligners will deliver lasting results.
