We also tie the wires in with special colored elastic rubber bands. Every time you come in for an appointment you can change your colors. Our adult patients who choose clear braces can also use clear elastic rubber bands. When a patient has to get expanders or a retainer they get to design it themselves. There are many different options provided to the patient in the world of orthodontic care.
Straight teeth are easier to keep clean and healthy.
When teeth are tipped, rotated, or crowded it is harder for your toothbrush and floss to reach all the areas exposed to decay. Straight teeth are easier to care for, more comfortable and have better function. Braces can ensure good dental hygiene. These are the benefits that can result from having orthodontic care. The major benefit is that your teeth will be easier to take care of over the years.
