Having nice and straight teeth gives us the confidence to smile. However, if you happen to have crooked teeth, then you understand that wishing for a perfect smile requires going to the dentist and wearing braces for more than a year. Hiring an orthodontist in Singapore or opting for orthodontic treatments are quite pricey for those who are on a tight budget.
Many opt for alternatives for Damon braces since many are not confident enough or more conscious of having a brace. Perhaps, there’s no hidden magic use behind them but they are simply more conventionally used to align and straighten the teeth. But with today’s age, there are more alternatives to correcting and straightening your teeth without having those traditional braces that are both available for teenagers and adults. However, before we go through the lists, it’s better to talk or consult your local dentist to determine what’s the best alternative/option for your teeth without damaging them. So here are some alternatives for straightening your teeth.
Invisible/hidden braces
This is a brilliant alternative if you don’t want to have visible braces every time you smile. These hidden/invisible braces or what most professionals may call lingual braces are typically non-metallic braces that are hidden and installed at the backside of your teeth. This makes it difficult to see. However, some invisible/hidden braces can be somewhat more expensive than traditional braces but they are worth the price especially if you don’t want someone seeing your braces.
Invisalign aligners
Invisalign aligners are perhaps one of the best and popular choices for straightening your teeth without wearing braces for years and they show promising quick results. So what makes Invisalign so special? Invisalign is an invisible aligner made in clear plastic which means they won’t be able to tell if you're wearing an aligner. They are also convenient because you can wear them for only 20 - 22 hours per day and can be removed.
Porcelain veneers
Another alternative for braces, porcelain veneers act more as a cosmetic solution rather than orthodontic treatment. These porcelain veneers are created to give you an appearance of straight teeth.
