Dallas Braces
Braces are great for fixing complex tooth issues quickly, and they can potentially shorten your overall treatment time. They are also cost-effective because they rely less on expensive technology.
Here are the types of braces you'll find at Ragan Orthodontics:
- Self-ligating braces: Use clips instead of elastics for a more comfortable fit and easier adjustments.
- Damon metal braces: Known for increased comfort and shorter treatment periods.
- Lingual braces: Placed behind the teeth for a completely discreet look.
- WildSmiles braces: Offer customizable shapes to make braces fun.
- Clear braces: Made from clear materials that blend in with your teeth for a less noticeable appearance.
Traditional metal braces consist of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to apply pressure. The pressure helps to gradually move your teeth where they need to be, and Dr. Ragan regularly adjusts them to keep them performing as they should.
Dallas Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a top choice for patients and orthodontists in Dallas. They are clear, removable aligners instead of brackets and bands to gradually straighten teeth.
Clear aligners are made from comfortable plastic that's designed to fit snugly over your teeth. As Dr. Ragan directs, you'll switch trays every one to two weeks to keep teeth moving in the right direction.
Wear your aligners 20-22 hours daily. Not following guidelines can delay results and extend treatment time. The aligners are easy to remove for eating and cleaning, adding convenience. This flexibility makes them a popular choice for teens and adults alike.
Clear aligners efficiently correct common orthodontic issues, such as crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite problems. However, they may only be suitable for some cases.
A free consultation with Dr. Ragan at Ragan Orthodontics in Dallas will determine if clear aligners suit you. During your consultation, Dr. Ragan will assess your orthodontic needs and discuss the best treatment options, ensuring you receive personalized and effective care.
