Metal or Ceramic Braces
At Truman Orthodontics in Henderson, we take pride in educating our patients with continual, open communication throughout their orthodontic treatment. Dr. Zach and his highly trained teams of orthodontic specialists realize that many patients are curious about how braces work. While we offer a variety of different types of braces, there are a number of common components that form braces. Below are explanations of the standard parts of braces and the functions they carry out.
Invisalign
Although not made of metal like traditional braces, Invisalign® clear aligners work in a similar way by applying small, carefully controlled forces to your teeth to gradually move them in a better position. After taking a scanned imaged of your teeth, your aligners are created using specialized computer software that helps to design a personalized plan for moving your teeth into the best possible alignment. Through each stage of your treatment, Truman Orthodontics will create a new set of aligners just for you and your orthodontic needs. As each stage has a great impact on the long term progress of your smile, you are expected to wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, for at least 20 hours per day before moving onto the next stage. You will continue moving through the stages until your teeth are properly aligned.
