. Im 43 and I badly need dental braces is there an alternative to the conventional metal ones?
You may want to try Invisalign. Unlike the conventional metal braces, Invisalign can fix your misaligned teeth in a shorter period of time. Invisalign is also removable so you do not have to avoid hard to chew food.

Yes. One of the things that is typically a objection to traditional braces is that it takes so long. Two years is typically the average treatment time with traditional braces. Invisilign is a good option for some people however it also has a fairly lengthy treatment time of 1-1.5 years and sometimes longer. We have found short term orthodontics to be ideal for most of our adult patients seeking to fix crooked teeth or close gaps in their teeth. There are some limitations to short term orthodontics, but not as many as there are with some other options. The system we prefer is "6 month smiles".
