Invisalign vs Traditional Braces Rockville, MD
To help you achieve your cosmetic dental goals, Dr. Parikh has undergone extensive training in orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment can correct the bite and straighten the teeth of patients both young and old to give you the smile you want. At Rockville Family Dental, we offer both traditional metal braces, ceramic braces and Invisalign aligners. Dr Parikh uses customized Individual Patient (IP) appliance system, which is an enhanced straight wire technique. IP Appliance allows Dr Parikh to customize the optimal appliance by selecting appropriate bracket for each tooth and archwires to enhance faster efficient treatment outcomes. Ceramic braces are a more aesthetically appealing form of braces made of composite materials. These tooth-colored braces blend in with your teeth and are much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. By applying gentle pressure to your teeth, braces will gradually move your teeth into the desired position. In order to achieve the desired results, most patients wear braces anywhere from one to three years. After your braces have been removed, you will be fitted for a retainer and given instructions on how to wear the retainer for optimal results.
Dr. Parikh recommends having an orthodontic evaluation performed at the age of eight years old. At this initial evaluation, any bite problems or potential issues with the alignment of the teeth will be addressed. Dr. Parikh will also recommend treatment to fix these issues at the evaluation.
