People considering orthodontic treatment in Northern Virginia have basically two choices: braces or Invisalign.
Which is better? Which is faster?
Orthodontic treatment with braces gives the orthodontist more control of the tooth position in three planes of space. Invisalign, while clear, is slower, harder to control and does not enable the orthodontist to make fine adjustments as the treatment progresses.
Now there’s a better alternative: orthodontic treatment with Suresmile.
While orthodontic treatment with Suresmile requires braces, the treatment time is tremendously faster, more accurate and allows the orthodontist to do the fine-tuning that takes orthodontic treatment from good to great.
Yes, you have braces. But, the time in them is far outweighed by the result.
Comments
Would you say that teeth are more likely to move back to original positions with Invisalign? Also, can most adult orthodontic problems be corrected with Suresmile? And lastly, how long does the average treatment take for an adult that uses the Suresmile technology?
A: No matter what the method used to move them, teeth will have a tendency to move back to their original positions. This is why retainers are needed at the end of treatment. Teeth tend to upright over their roots. Invisalign, in my opinion, moves teeth by tipping them into position and really is not able to control root position. Braces, on the other hand, can control the tooth in all dimensions. Suresmile enables even more control at a faster, more efficient pace. Most orthodontic problems, including adults’, can be corrected with Suresmile. How long treatment takes with Suresmile depends upon the extent of the problem. However, of all Suresmile cases done by Suresmile doctors, there has been an average of 34% reduction time in treatment not to mention more accuracy.
