Heroes Dental Orthodontic Treatment Options

Clear Braces

Clear braces or ceramic braces are a great option for patients looking for the teeth-straightening effects of metal braces without the eyesore of wires and brackets.

Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are what most of us picture when we think of braces—and with good reason. Modern metal braces offer the same powerful results with less hardware.

Invisalign

Convenient enough to fit any lifestyle, Invisalign braces are carefully crafted using 3D imaging to help straighten your teeth.

How Orthodontic Services Can Change Your Life

There’s nothing wrong with having teeth that are a bit crooked or misaligned, but straightening your teeth can come with several big benefits. First of all, a straighter smile can make you feel more confident, and that confidence can shine through in all aspects of your life. Smiling more is also associated with greater happiness and interpersonal interactions. In the workplace, having straight teeth may help you access more opportunities. As if those weren’t reason enough to consider getting braces, braces can also improve your oral health by cutting down on places for bacteria to hide.

Orthodontics Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Consider Orthodontic Treatment?

Not only are straighter teeth associated with improved appearance, but they also help prevent future dental issues. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the likelihood of cavities and decay. A better-aligned bite can make it easier to both talk and chew.

When Should My Child Start Orthodontic Treatment?

Starting orthodontic treatment early can help the treatment take effect more easily. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, children with orthodontic issues should have their first orthodontist visit at age 7.

Does Getting Braces Hurt? Is Having Braces Painful?

The process of having braces installed can be uncomfortable, but actually wearing them is generally painless. Patients may feel some soreness in the first few days after braces are put in place, and future adjustments by your McAllen orthodontist can also cause temporary pain. In either case, over-the-counter pain relievers can be taken if needed.

How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?

The amount of time needed for braces to bring your teeth and bite into alignment will vary from person to person, but the process usually takes between 6 and 30 months. After braces are removed, a retainer is then worn to maintain the effects.

Can I Get Invisible Braces?

Invisalign clear aligners are minimally visible, providing you with a nearly invisible braces treatment. You can keep your beautiful smile unobstructed with Invisalign. Lingual braces, another type of invisible braces, are not offered here at Heroes Dental.
