Can I Just Have a Retainer Instead of Braces?

A Girl with BracesNo matter how much you might need braces, it’s perfectly understandable if you don’t want them!

Having a bunch of metal wires attached to your teeth for months on end doesn’t sound very comfortable. More importantly, you probably don’t like the idea of having metal braces show every time you smile.

Dr. Farooq Ahmad knows that for your teeth to be straightened as quickly and effectively as possible, you need an orthodontic option that’s customized to your needs.

Will a Retainer Get the Job Done?

Let’s first take a look at how much straightening your teeth actually need.

If you’ve only got a little gap between a couple of teeth that you’d like to close up, then a retainer could be all that’s necessary. Just need to gently twist one tooth into proper position? A special retainer could help out there, too.

But if you need multiple teeth corrected or if your bite is severely off, then a retainer just won’t cut it.

The bottom line is this: if you need or want a straighter smile, then you have to treat your smile with what works. A professional orthodontic consultation at Brackets Wires & Smiles will help you figure out which option is right for you!

There’s no need to worry that you’re doomed to braces. You’ve got several options to choose from.
