Are braces, clear aligners, or expanders better?

Welcome to Vegas Ortho Doc! In this video, Dr. Jeremy Manuele, a board-certified orthodontist and dentofacial orthopedist, walks you through a patient’s treatment journey to answer the question: are braces, clear aligners, or expanders better?

Understanding Lip Strain and Skeletal Issues
We discuss the underlying skeletal issues that cause lip strain and how addressing them is key to achieving a balanced and healthy smile.

Expanding the Upper Jaw
Learn how expansion broadens the upper jaw bone, making the upper jaw wider and creating the necessary space for teeth alignment.

Combined Treatment: Expanders, Braces, and Clear Aligners
In this case, we began with a skeletal expander and braces for 4 months to lay the foundation for jaw expansion, then transitioned to clear aligners for the finishing touches. Discover how this combination of treatments can provide optimal results for patients with similar orthodontic challenges.
