\nTraditional Braces: As these are not removable, there are many food restrictions with these on as they are difficult to clean, eg Sticky foods get stuck around brackets and wires like chewing gum, so are best to avoid. Also you cannot bite in to sandwiches or had bread rolls, carrots, apples, etc for fear of breakages of wires or brackets.<\/p>\n
\nTraditional braces: Harder to keep clean due to bonded brackets and wires. Food and plaque tends to accumulate around the brackets and are harder to maintain due to the rough surfaces<\/p>\n
\nTraditional Braces : These brackets and wires are fixed and not able to be removed easily mid treatment.<\/p>\n
\nTraditional braces : The metal wires and brackets make these less aesthetic and definitely noticeable to others<\/p>\n
\nTraditional Braces : these can cause ulceration of the lips or cheeks as these rub against and get caught on the rough brackets and wires.<\/p>\n
\nTraditional braces : Each time the braces are tightened, there can be discomfort for 3-4 days after each tightening.
\nMetal brackets often get hooked on lips, cheeks and can cause uncomfortable ulcers.<\/p>\n
\nTraditional braces : Wires need to be tightened more often generally usually every 3-4 weeks.<\/p>\n
\nTraditional Braces : There are no tools for you to visualise the end point before treatment.<\/p>\n
\nTraditional braces : You will only get an estimate of the treatment time at the beginning.<\/p>\n
