Pros & Cons of Braces
The main Pro about having braces is that at the end of the treatment you will have straight teeth. Another pro is that there are more options now of wearing braces. There is now Invisalign, clear braces, and after retainers to keep them straight. Depending on what your orthodontist would recommend, you can talk to them about these options and see what works best for you. The con part of metal braces is you may lose a few ligatures, a bracket may break, the wire can poke your gums, strict food intake, and increase on the oral hygiene. It may seem like a nightmare at first but the outcome is so worth it. Plus as mentioned before you have multiple options now to have braces and not just metal. And even though it seems like a “con” at first when you know you have to give up some things you love. But when you’re finished with your treatment, you’re not only getting straight teeth, but you’re also getting that confidence in your smile again and an improvement in your overall health.
