Orthodontic Treatments in Bluffton
Bluffton Braces
Braces in Bluffton are an excellent choice for correcting complex tooth issues. Since they can sometimes align teeth and close gaps faster than other treatments, overall treatment time may be slightly reduced.
Braces don’t require some of the more complex technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can, meaning Bluffton braces are a cost-effective orthodontic option.
Traditional metal braces are among the most effective orthodontic tools we have. They’re made of metal or ceramic brackets affixed to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply the gentle pressure that will gradually move the teeth into the positions we want them to be in, as long as you have regular adjustments with our doctors.
Bluffton Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists in Bluffton and are the top alternative to traditional braces. Instead of brackets and bands, the Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth.
Clear aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and customized to fit snugly over your teeth. To keep your teeth moving in the direction you want them to, you’ll need to switch your invisible trays out for the next one in the series every one to two weeks as directed by Dr. Travis, Dr. Katie, or Dr. Gavin.
The clear aligner system can only work if the recommended guidelines are followed exactly! Aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day throughout treatment. If patients neglect to wear the aligners as directed, it can impede the results and also add time to the orthodontic process.
Clear aligners are most efficient at correcting many common orthodontic issues. For some complex cases, clear aligners may not be a good option. A free consultation with Dr. Travis, Dr. Katie, or Dr. Gavin at Winning Orthodontic Smiles in Bluffton will allow us to determine your eligibility for clear aligners.
