Fixed Appliances Vs. Removable Appliances
At Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics, we believe you should be fully educated about your treatment. It’s helpful for patients in Portland and Windham to learn the differences between fixed and removable appliances.
Dr. Yu attaches fixed appliances (like braces) to your teeth and won’t take them off until you complete your treatment at Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics.
When Dr. Yu prescribes a removable appliance like Invisalign, you’ll wear your trays most of the day, but you can still take them out of your mouth.
Besides the obvious differences, Dr. Yu uses Invisalign aligners to treat mild to moderate orthodontic problems. At Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics, we generally use fixed appliances for comprehensive and serious treatment.
Metal Braces & More
Most patients we treat at Adult & Pediatric Orthodontics choose our Damon metal braces to straighten their teeth.
Metal braces are the most common type of orthodontic treatment in Portland, Windham and the surrounding areas, but you also can choose from other options.
After your first free consultation, Dr. Yu will talk to you about which treatment would be right for you based on your unique needs and smile goals.
