If you ask someone who wears braces whether or not they are happy with them, the answer you are most likely to get is a ‘no’. Let’s face it, braces could prove to be extremely uncomfortable and in a way to affect your personality. Moreover, it often makes individuals conscious about their smile and also hinders their overall confidence. Thanks to advancements in the orthodontic and the dental field, there are several alternatives to traditional metal braces you can opt for.

Our dental experts have listed down some of the most effective and reliable alternatives for metal braces.
1. Retainers
Post your treatment with dental braces, retainers that are removable can ensure that the correct position of your teeth is maintained once the braces are removed. The Essix retainer is transparent and can easily fit over the arch of the mouth. In addition, if only a small amount of correction is required, retainers can be used to restrict the movement of the tooth. Most retainers are affordable and are much easier to wear compared to braces.
2. Headgear
Headgears are usually used to rectify high level of overbite. Typically, a lot of pressure is pushed to the upper teeth and jaw to either ensure the teeth is in the same position or move it to the ideal position. For a headgear to be effective, it is essential one wears it for a substantial number of hours every day. Hence, a lot of individuals wear a headgear before they sleep. It is essential to understand that the headgear needs to be removed while brushing your teeth, eating, or carrying out a physical activity.
3. Veneers
Veneers have been endorsed by several famous personalities. They are apt for individuals who have huge gaps between their teeth, fractured or chipped tooth, teeth that have stains, and lastly teeth that do not have a proper shape. A sensitive resin is used to fix the veneers to your teeth.
4. Aligners
One of the most popular aligners that have gained popularity in the last decade or so is Invisalign. The aligners are used to treat almost everything right from a slightly crooked tooth, protruding tooth, to major overbites or underbites. In addition, you are expected to wear different aligners for around 20 hours a day for a period of around two weeks. Individuals who have large gaps or misaligned teeth are the best candidates for aligners.
