It is very difficult to say if one system is better than the other, as both fixed and removable braces can work extremely well, but some people may benefit more from one particular brand of braces than another. This is one of the reasons why Dublin18Dental offers patients both kinds. A consultation with one of our dentists in Dublin will be sufficient to determine which type will be best for you. To a certain extent, it may depend on how comfortable you feel with a particular system.

Invisalign

Some people love Invisalign braces, and they are very popular. They are removable clear plastic aligners that can be taken out whenever you eat or drink something, and as they are made from clear plastic they can be very discreet. They are great at correcting most bite problems such as overcrowded or protruding teeth, gaps in between teeth, and overbites, underbites and open bites.

However some people don’t like the fact that they have to be taken out whenever they eat or drink, and find it inconvenient to have to brush their teeth before placing the aligners back in their mouth. It may not be the best system for anyone who is inclined to forget where they put stuff, as the aligners can be easy to lose.

Inman Aligner

Another system offered by our Dublin dentists is the Inman Aligner. This is another removable brace that moves the teeth through the forces created by two metal bows. It is not quite as invisible as Invisalign, but is perfect if you just want to correct problems with your front teeth. Some patients will see results within three months. This might be the brace for you if you are thinking about having dental veneers, as it can be used to help correct the alignment of the front teeth so they do not require as much preparation for veneers. Having orthodontics in Dublin prior to veneering helps to ensure the veneers are as thin as possible, improving the overall result.

The choice might seem confusing, but our Dublin dentists will guide you through the entire process, and will take the time to discuss the pros and cons of each system. Things to consider are whether or not you are concerned about having removable braces, or if you think you might lose them, how much time you need to spend cleaning each type of brace, and the length of treatment.
