What are

Orthodontic Braces and Aligners?

Orthodontic braces and aligners are treatments designed to straighten and correct misaligned teeth. Orthodontic braces consist of metal, ceramic, or lingual brackets attached to the teeth with wires and bands. These appliances apply continuous pressure to gradually shift teeth into the desired position, making them effective for a wide range of alignment and bite issues.

Aligners, such as Invisalign, are clear, removable trays custom-made to fit over the teeth and gently move them into place. They offer a discreet alternative to braces and can be removed for eating, drinking, and cleaning.

Types of Orthodontic Braces and Aligners

Metal Braces

Traditional braces made of stainless steel or titanium, known for their durability and effectiveness in correcting a wide range of dental issues.

Ceramic Braces

Tooth-colored or clear braces that blend with the teeth, offering a more aesthetic option while still providing effective treatment.

Lingual Braces

Braces placed on the inner side of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside.

Clear Aligners

Removable, transparent trays, such as Invisalign, that gradually shift teeth into position without the need for brackets and wires.

Self-Ligating Braces

Braces that use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands to hold the wire, potentially reducing treatment time and discomfort.
