I have a question about braces.I just joined the military, and apparently TriCare will pay for braces, but I have to go through a long process to get them, and I dont really think I have time for that. I have been waiting a long time to get my teeth fixed, and Im pretty self conscious about it. I feel like the best option for me at this point would be to pay for them on my own. My only problem is, I dont know when I will get deployed and that would obviously hinder the treatment.Are there any options that could take less time than normal braces (say, 6-8 months)?Also are any of them more discreet than normal braces?Thank you
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. After seeing your facial profile, the mode of treatment can be planned. There are two options to correct maligned teeth and jaw. One is surgical intervention which is rarely opted for. The second one is or tho bands and braces. Though the process is time-consuming, but it gives good results.Therefore, please see your dentist for clinical evaluation. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
