Braces vs. Invisalign, the big match-up. Do you need help picking between braces and Invisalign? Dr. Chartrand and Dr. Tussing can help make it easier for you! Chartrand Orthodontics in Omaha uses both options. Our team can confirm that braces (metal or clear) and Invisalign work. And they work well. These appliances are good at what they do, and they produce consistent results. The question to ask isn’t, “Which one is better?” Instead, think of it in terms of which one will work best for you. It’s tough to make that decision on your own. So, our team will help you figure it out!
The Similarities Between Braces and Invisalign
Both braces and Invisalign are fantastic options for crafting a more aligned smile. They share a common goal: correcting bite issues. Straighter teeth give you better oral health and will make you more confident in how you look.
The Results Are In(credible)
Whether you choose braces or Invisalign, our team customizes your treatment. Why does that matter? Because your appliances aren’t standard-issue. They don’t come ready-made out of a box. Our team takes time to learn about your teeth and jaw from every possible angle. No matter what option Dr. Chartrand or Dr. Tussing recommends, it’ll give you incredible results.
Tech-tastic Treatments
Braces and Invisalign both use advanced technology to deliver personalized outcomes. Your appliances are for you and no one else! At Chartrand Orthodontics, digital scans and 3D imaging help our team create customized treatment plans exclusively for you. These tools make it possible to track your progress and make adjustments with precision and accuracy.
Show Up When It’s Showtime
Both treatments require regular check-ins with our Omaha team. Whether it’s for braces adjustments or receiving new Invisalign trays, these visits help ensure your treatment keeps moving as the doctors intend. Please do your best to make it to your appointments on time. But if you can’t, keep us in the loop! With a quick phone call, we can reschedule your appointment with no problem.
Bracing For A Brighter Future
Braces have been a trusted and reliable option for straightening teeth for a long time. At Chartrand Orthodontics, both metal and clear braces are available. So you’ve got options based on your needs and preferences. While traditional braces remain highly effective, modern technology has made them so much more comfortable!
Metal Braces
In our Omaha clinic, we most frequently use metal braces. These metal marvels hold up. They use stainless steel brackets and wires to reorient your teeth gradually. Contemporary metal braces are smaller than you’d probably think. Plus, we work hard to make them fit comfortably.
Clear Braces
Need some braces with some stealth camouflage? Clear braces are for you! These braces use tooth-colored ceramic brackets that blend in with your smile. But don’t worry! They offer the same spectacular results as metal braces but with a more subtle appearance.
Smiles In Every Dimension
At Chartrand Orthodontics, digital imaging and 3D technology are used to plan and monitor your treatment with braces. This allows for more accurate bracket placement and better tracking of your progress, ensuring you get the best results as quickly and comfortably as possible. Whether you choose metal or clear braces, the advanced technology ensures efficient treatment and a beautiful smile.
Get In Line With Invisalign
Invisalign offers a modern, nearly invisible way to redesign your teeth. At Chartrand Orthodontics, our patients love how clear aligners can give them the smile they want without the hassle of traditional braces.
Ready, Set…Remove!
One of the biggest perks of Invisalign is that your aligners are removable. What’s so great about that? You can eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions. It’s a flexible option for busy adults and teens who want more freedom during their treatment.
A View-tiful Smile
Invisalign uses state-of-the-art technology to create a personalized treatment plan. With the iTero scanner, Dr. Chartrand and Dr. Tussing can take precise 3D images of your teeth to design custom aligners that fit perfectly. Plus, Chartrand Orthodontics offers SmileView, a tool that allows you to see a simulation of your new smile before treatment even begins.
Clear, Comfortable, And Cool
Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners don’t use brackets or wires. That makes them a more comfortable option for many patients. Don’t want classmates or coworkers to know about your treatment? Invisalign’s clear design is also nearly invisible. However, remember that Invisalign works best when worn for 20-22 hours a day for optimal results.
Who’s In Your Bracket? (Or Not?)
Both braces and Invisalign offer spectacular benefits. The best choice depends on what you need and what Dr. Chartrand and Dr. Tussing work out for you. Braces work best for complex cases. And whether you pick metal or clear, you’ll receive the same awesome results.
Invisalign, on the other hand, offers more flexibility. Remember that these clear aligners are removable. Why does that matter? It means you can keep eating and drinking your favorite foods. Plus, now it’s a lot easier for you to keep your teeth clean! For busy teens and adults who prefer an almost invisible treatment, Invisalign is a great choice.
