An attractive smile is more than just white teeth. Many patients with overcrowding or misalignment will want to speak to a dental professional to determine the ways in which they can enhance their smile. In many cases, orthodontic treatment is the way to do this! Dr. Ania Mohelicki of Boulder, Colorado believes in providing her patients with solutions that fit their needs—and their lifestyle. If you are considering orthodontic treatment, now is the time to learn about traditional and non-traditional methods. 

• Conventional braces – when patients think of orthodontic work, teenagers with metal bracket and wire braces often come to mind. Conventional braces still have great purpose today in helping patients with malocclusion. For some individuals, it is still the idea way to improve the smile, especially for those with moderate to severe misalignment. At the practice of Dr. Ania Mohelicki, patients may find that this is the best choice for their needs. Metal bracket and wire braces are not only for teenagers but can be used on adults as well. Patients might undergo two phases of braces but often never regret receiving treatment, even if it is later on in their life.
• Invisalign braces – an alternative that many patients choose is the of Invisalign. Invisalign is a method of straightening the teeth with the use of clear aligner trays. These trays are swapped out every two weeks for the next tray in the patient’s series. Invisalign gently repositions the teeth in a discreet way, and helps patients feel confident throughout treatment.
• Lingual braces – another option for patients to consider is lingual braces. These are braces that are actually put behind the teeth to realign the smile without them being visible. This is a great solution for patients who have more severe misalignment but don’t want to cover their smiles with metal appliances.
