Panama City FL Braces and Invisalign:
Panama City FL Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient and effective orthodontic tools in use. First, we attach the metal or ceramic brackets to your teeth. Then we connect the brackets with wires and tiny rubber bands or elastics. Through regular adjustments with, these parts work together to apply gentle pressure, gradually moving the teeth where we want them to go. Panama City FL braces are a superb choice for fixing many tooth issues, both simple and complex. Traditional braces are often a cost effective and successful option for people of all ages.
Panama City FL Invisalign
Instead of brackets and bands, the Panama City FL Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to slowly but consistently move the teeth into alignment. This option is popular with both patients and orthodontists and is the top alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign gives wearers freedom while achieving a beautiful smile.
