Braces
These are usually the first things people think of when they think “orthopedic care”. We’ve all seen braces. They’re a time-tested method for shifting your teeth into the desired position, and for many of us, they’re a right of passage during our teenage years.
Fortunately, adult braces can provide you with relatively quick orthopedic adjustments – and with the latest advances in braces, there’s a number of low-profile options you can choose. At Backus Smiles Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer Damon system braces.
Available in different finishes, the Damon system doesn’t use elastic bindings that can restrict the movement of your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, the Damon system provides a more comfortable experience, and since there’s less friction holding your teeth from going where they should be going, the Damon system also means a shorter treatment time.
Aligners
We hear it all the time. “I’m too old for braces!” First of all, it’s never too old to work on your smile. Secondly, we also offer aligners for patients who want an even more low-profile solution. You’ve probably heard of Invisalign or Spark. These aligners sit over your teeth, and slowly move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll have to go through a cycle of several different aligners, but this extra effort comes with some serious benefits.
Aligners like Invisalign and Spark are completely clear. They’re not as obvious as braces. They also can (and should) be popped out before you eat, brush your teeth, or drink anything (although the rules are a little more flexible with water). Once you’re done eating, brushing your teeth, or drinking, you can pop your aligners back in and carry on with your day – though your Vestavia Hills adult orthodontics professionals will probably recommend brushing your teeth before you put them back in.
Aligners give you a greater degree of normalcy throughout the length of your orthodontic treatment. You’ll have to wear them 20-22 hours a day on average, but being able to remove them for meals (and the fact that they’re clear and low-profile) make them a great choice.
