Hillsboro Orthodontics
Hillsboro Braces
The metal or ceramic brackets are attached to the teeth, then connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. Through regular adjustments with our doctors, these components work together to apply gentle pressure, which will gradually move the teeth into the desired positions. Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools we have.
Hillsboro braces are an excellent choice for correcting a number of tooth issues, from simple to complex. Because they sometimes work faster at closing gaps and aligning teeth than other options might, overall treatment time can be slightly reduced. In addition, braces don’t require some of the more complicated technology or expensive equipment that newer treatments can. This makes Hillsboro braces a cost-effective orthodontic option for patients on a budget.
Hillsboro Invisalign
The Hillsboro Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth into alignment instead of brackets and bands. This option is incredibly popular with both patients and orthodontists. It’ currently the top alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign aligners are made of a comfortable plastic material and designed to fit snugly over the patient’s teeth. Aligners must be worn 20-22 hours per day throughout treatment in order for them to work well. The trays are virtually invisible, and are usually switched out every 1-2 weeks for the next in the series. This keeps the teeth moving in the right direction! Patients who neglect to wear the aligners as directed can have a negative impact on the results and lengthen the orthodontic process.
Invisalign works best when it is used to correct many of the most common orthodontic issues. For more complicated cases, Invisalign may not be a viable option. A free consultation with Thacker Orthodontics will help us figure out if Invisalign is a good choice for you.
