Dental misalignment is a widespread and common problem. In order to improve the alignment of our smiles, some people will require orthodontic care. Unfortunately, many people dread the thought of receiving a mouth filled with metal braces. Your Ft. Worth orthodontist, Dr. Ciro Cabal, understands your anxiety and offers esthetically pleasing orthodontic care.
Frequently Asked Questions About Ft. Worth Orthodontics
Question: How does Invisalign work?
Answer: Metal braces employ brackets and arch wires to improve alignment. Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic aligners instead. The aligners slowly and gently reposition teeth over the period of about a year. Patients will wear the aligners between 20 and 22 hours a day.
Question: Can I receive brackets and wires that are less noticeable?
Answer: Yes. For some patients, Invisalign is not the best choice for smile correction. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other options for inconspicuous orthodontics. Your Ft. Worth orthodontist provides brackets that are shaded to blend with your teeth.
Question: Does my Ft. Worth orthodontist offer braces for children?
Answer: Yes. Around age seven, all children should undergo an examination by an orthodontist. Starting orthodontic treatment early helps prevent the need for more invasive and costly treatment as children grows older. Dr. Cabaloffers the latest in children’s orthodontics to improve little smiles.
