Choose your Braces

Currently, the most popular types of fixed braces used are:

• Metal Braces --These are traditional braces most often seen in children and teenagers. Metal braces are the most affordable and use a system of brackets and wires to move the teeth over time.
• Ceramic Braces--These braces work like traditional metal braces, except that the brackets bonded to the teeth are made of ceramic. This helps prevent staining, and they can also be color-matched to blend with the teeth.
• Lingual Braces--Lingual braces, sometimes called “braces behind the teeth,” are a common alternative to traditional braces. Like traditional braces, they are used by an orthodontist to help realign and straighten teeth. The difference is that the braces are glued to the backs of your teeth instead of the front, making them less noticeable.
• Self-Ligating braces--Self-Ligating Braces come either in traditional metal, ceramic or clear brackets and are made from the same materials as traditional braces. These type of braces deliver quick results and don’t have to visit your Orthodontist frequently. Self-ligating braces eliminate the need for bands and that makes it different from standard braces.

ALIGNERS

Aligner is an orthodontic appliance system used to treat crooked and crowded teeth in adults and teens. Aligner trays that are worn at all times with the exception of during meals and when brushing or flossing. The trays are custom fitted to the teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable when, talking, laughing and eating with other people.

Patients will receive a sequence of trays, each of which is slightly different than the one before. The aligners provide a slight resistance to the teeth, forcing them to move into alignment over time.

With the help of Aligner, adults and teens can achieve the smiles they’ve always wanted without feeling self-conscious about the mode of treatment. Aligners fits well into busy adult schedules, as there is no need to attend frequent visits for wire tightening. Most patients has to wear new aligner tray every couple of weeks.
