Teeth Straightening Options in Austin Explained

With so many teeth straightening choices in Austin, it can be difficult to know which is best for your smile. Having a better understanding of them can help you make an informed decision, which is why we’ve outlined some of the most popular treatments below.

More people than ever are turning to teeth straightening at home using clear aligners. They work by using a series of custom-made transparent trays that gradually move the teeth into their correct positions, without the need for wires and brackets.

For people who prioritize discretion, comfort, and convenience, ALIGNERCO Clear Aligners fit the bill. Treatment is virtually invisible, aligners can be removed to eat and brush, and fewer clinic visits mean greater flexibility for busy lifestyles.

Clear Aligners
Pros
  • Virtually invisible
  • Unlike fixed braces, no dietary restrictions are required
  • Complete removal allows for better brushing and flossing
Cons
  • Must be worn 20-22 hours a day for best results (or choose ALIGNERCO's night option for 8-10 hours of wear time)
  • Clear plastic trays can easily be misplaced
  • Less effective in severe or highly complex cases

When talking about teeth straightening, most people's thoughts turn to metal braces. These appliances utilize a series of brackets and wires fixed to the outside of the teeth that apply gentle pressure to move the teeth into alignment. They're worn for the duration of the treatment and can only be removed by a dentist.

They remain a mainstay of orthodontics for their ability to treat a wide range of orthodontic problems from mild to moderate misalignments through to complex bite problems.

Metal Braces
Pros
  • Less expensive option in most cases
  • Extremely effective and proven over many decades
  • Ideal for most case types
Cons
  • Highly noticeable with a metal appearance
  • Possibility of discomfort from brackets and wires
  • Regular dental visits required for adjustments

Ceramic braces offer a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces thanks to the use of tooth-colored brackets and wire. They work in the same proven way as metal braces, using fixed brackets to gradually guide teeth into position.

They're a great option for people with more complex misalignments seeking a subtle teeth straightening option. However, they do tend to cost more and are more fragile than their metal counterparts.

Ceramic Braces
Pros
  • Tooth-colored material means less visibility
  • Good for improving mild to complex orthodontic issues
  • Same proven mechanics as traditional metal braces
Cons
  • Higher teeth straightening cost than conventional metal braces
  • Ceramic braces are prone to staining if not cleaned properly
  • Brackets are bulkier and more fragile than metal

If you prefer something less visible, then lingual braces are a solid teeth straightening option. Unlike other fixed braces, they're positioned on the inner side of the teeth and can't be seen when you smile, eat, or talk, offering a fantastic alternative to fixed metal braces.

On the flipside, because lingual braces are custom-made, the teeth straightening cost is often higher, and it can be more difficult to find a dentist who offers them.

Lingual Braces
Pros
  • Completely invisible from the outside
  • Effective for all types of cases
  • Custom designed for a precise fit
Cons
  • Typically, the most expensive option
  • Lingual braces require specialised fitting
  • Can affect speech until accustomed

Frequently Asked Questions

People exploring teeth straightening in Austin can choose from fixed appliances such as conventional metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces. Alternatively, they can opt for removable clear aligners, such as those from ALIGNERCO. A quick, free assessment will reveal if you are a candidate for the latter.

Traditional braces are permanently fixed to the teeth for the duration of your orthodontic treatment, whereas clear aligners are clear plastic trays that are removable by the wearer for drinking, and brushing/flossing.

No, ALIGNERCO Clear Aligners are for teens and adults. They’re popular with teens and adults who may feel self-conscious when wearing braces or dislike the thought of metal in their mouth. Aligners, however, do require discipline and responsibility, so they may not be suitable for every teen.

Initially, you are likely to experience some discomfort when you first start wearing clear aligners. However, once your mouth becomes accustomed to them, they start to feel more comfortable. Most patients say they can feel pressure, but this is a good sign that your teeth are starting to move. Each new aligner will also feel tight for the first few days, as this is when most of the teeth movement occurs. Over-the-counter medication, such as ibuprofen, should ease any discomfort. A top tip is to switch to a new aligner just before going to bed; then, hopefully, you will sleep through the initial pain.

It all depends on your unique case and the severity of your misalignments. As a general guide, mild cases could require 12-18 sets of aligners with treatment completed within 4-6 months, whereas moderate cases could take between 6 and 8 months and require 18-24 sets of aligners. Once your tooth movements have been plotted, your treatment plan will reveal the number of aligners you require.
