3 reasons Metal Braces MAY be better than Clear Aligners

At your complimentary consultation, we will discuss which option may be best suited for you & your lifestyle. Dr. Cyrus & Dr. Nee love clear aligners but it may not be the best option for everyone. Below are 3 reasons where we may choose metal braces over aligners. 

1. Are you a frequent snacker? With aligners, every time you eat or drink something other than water, you need to take the trays out. With braces you just have to avoid eating anything chewy or sticky. If you love snacking often, braces may be the better option!
2. Are you not going to wear your trays at least 20-22 hours a day? Metal braces are non-removable, which eliminates the reliance on patient compliance!!
3. Lastly, for more complicated cases that involve extractions or impacted teeth, metal braces are the better and more efficient option.
