Traditional metal braces are still widely used today because they reliably straighten teeth. However, they do have some downsides, depending on the kind of treatment experience you wish to have. Metal braces can take up to two years to align your smile. What’s more, the metal brackets and wires may bring your smile unwanted attention during your treatment. When you decide to change your appearance for the better, any delay in the result can feel even longer than it really is. Dr. Rod Gleave, a cosmetic dentist with more than 30 years of experience and exceptional training, can help you avoid these drawbacks with Six Month Braces® and Invisalign® in Salt Lake City, UT.
