Traditional Braces & Orthodontic Options
Traditional braces and other orthodontic approaches can be considered when clear aligners are not the best fit for the tooth movement or bite correction required.
How we approach it
Start with the diagnosis, then choose the treatment.
Orthodontic treatment is selected based on tooth position, bite, growth, gum health, complexity and treatment goals. Start with Coalhurst Dental and we will help determine whether Invisalign, traditional braces or another approach is appropriate.
Care may include
- Initial discussion of tooth alignment and bite concerns
- Comparison of Invisalign and traditional braces
- Traditional braces when clinically appropriate
- Orthodontic records and planning as required
- Ongoing dental hygiene and general dental care during orthodontics
- Retention planning after orthodontic treatment
What to expect
A simple, step-by-step process.
Choose the right system
Some cases work well with clear aligners while others are better managed with traditional braces or another orthodontic approach.
Plan and monitor treatment
If braces are selected, we explain the planned sequence, monitoring schedule, oral-hygiene needs and retention after active treatment.
