As an Omaha-area orthodontics practice, we don’t have a favorite orthodontic treatment. Metal braces, Invisalign®, clear braces…they’re all awesome and have a special place in our hearts – and on our patients’ teeth.
Maybe because we’re around appliances all day, they each seem to have their own unique personality, which brings us to the big question: if you were an orthodontic treatment, which one would you be? Are you unapologetically visible like metal braces or steadfast and loyal like a retainer?
Take our short quiz to find out!
Before we get into our quiz, let’s do a quick recap of the different types of braces and aligners we offer at Hawley Orthodontics!
Made from stainless steel, our self-ligating metal braces are a great choice for anyone looking to improve the function and appearance of their smile. While elastics aren’t technically necessary with self-ligating brackets, a lot of our patients choose to add them for a bit of color.
Our clear braces are made from a translucent ceramic material that blends in with your teeth. Their cosmetic appeal makes them a popular choice. At Hawley Orthodontics, we put them on our adult and teen patients’ top teeth at no additional cost.
As a leading Papillion Invisalign provider, we can achieve excellent results with clear aligners even in complex cases. The custom aligners are printed based on Dr. Hawley’s treatment plan, and they slip over your teeth like incredibly comfortable, virtually invisible mouthguards. Since Invisalign aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions and oral hygiene is simple.
Retainers are worn after braces or Invisalign treatment to hold your teeth in their new positions and prevent any shifting. Using a retainer is the only way to maintain your results for life. The good news? We design, print and fabricate super comfortable, clear retainers right here in our office.
If you chose mostly A’s, you’re metal braces.
You have a unique style and bold personality. Nobody is stopping you from being the biggest version of yourself. You’re keen to try new food, throw a fashion show and celebrate. Like metal braces, you love being visible and are always open to a splash of color.
If you chose mostly B’s, you’re ceramic braces.
You are a lover of classic, simple things. Whether it’s a day at the lake or a tried-and-true dinner party, you don’t feel the need to be the center of attention. You value discretion and time-tested solutions much like clear braces.
If you chose mostly C’s, you’re Invisalign.
You’re someone who has a need for speed! You dream big, are always on-the-go and know what the next coolest trend is. You enjoy things that are high-tech, convenient and made to move with you, whether it’s an Apple watch or Invisalign aligners.
If you chose mostly D’s, you’re a retainer.
You are the best friend anyone could ask for! You’re supportive of everybody around you and show undying loyalty in your relationships. If things could stay the same forever — you’d be happy!
