There are numerous ways of fixing malaligned or crooked teeth, such as braces, Invisalign and putting crowns on your teeth or veneers. Usually, I recommend the patient go for an orthodontic consultation, or braces or Invisalign, which do not require grinding your teeth down.
This is the best way of getting your teeth straightened out for aesthetic reasons and for functional reasons as well. Orthodontics are braces that are placed on your teeth.
The brackets placed by an orthodontist help move your teeth. The advantage of Orthodontics is the time of treatment, which is usually faster than Invisalign.
Invisalign is basically clear trays that are placed on the teeth and every couple of weeks, these trays are changed so that they can help move your teeth.
In certain cases, you will place brackets on the teeth to help the movement of the teeth. Invisalign requires that you wear these trays 22 hours a day for optimum treatment and so that your treatment time is shorter. Restrictions apply. When patients hear of orthodontics, they often think of metal brackets and wires.
