Which Orthodontic Treatment Is Right for You?

This Quick Quiz Will Help You Decide!

For decades, there was one path to a straight smile: metal braces. Now, there are several other options, including Invisalign. While this allows us to help even more patients get the straighter, healthier, and more aesthetically pleasing smiles that they deserve, it also sometimes leads to a bit of decision paralysis. If you are currently trying to decide which orthodontic treatment is best for you, then take this quick quiz!

If you answered “A” five or more times…

Then you should consider Invisalign. This popular orthodontic treatment has helped more than 17 million patients since its debut. While you might assume that the only benefit is the clear, comfortable aligners, there are actually several others, including the fact that the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months!

If you answered “B” five or more times…

Then traditional braces may be the best orthodontic treatment for you! Although some patients are a bit hesitant to commit to metal brackets and wires, this tried-and-true solution can correct both mild and severe cases. Not only that, but they are bonded securely in place, so you don’t have to worry about daily wear times or accidentally losing them.
