Braces

Metal Braces: Metal braces consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands that work together to gradually move teeth into their correct positionsThe brackets are small, sturdy metal pieces affixed to the front surface of each tooth with dental adhesive. Archwires are threaded through the brackets and act as a track to guide teeth into their desired positions. Elastic bands, also known as ligatures, secure the archwires to the brackets, applying gentle pressure to facilitate teeth movement.
Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces, also known as clear braces, are very similar in design and function to traditional metal braces. The main difference lies in the brackets used. While traditional braces use metal brackets, ceramic braces feature brackets made from clear or tooth-colored materials, making them less noticeable on the teeth. Additionally, the archwires and elastic bands used with ceramic braces can also be tooth-colored, further enhancing their subtle appearance.
Lingual Braces: Placed on the backside of the teeth, lingual braces are virtually invisible from the front and provide a discreet treatment option.
Clear Aligners: Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic system that utilizes a series of custom-made clear aligners to gently move teeth into their desired positions. These aligners are made from a smooth and virtually invisible plastic material, making them inconspicuous when worn over the teeth. Each set of aligners is designed to apply precise and gradual pressure on the teeth, guiding them into alignment according to the orthodontist's treatment plan.
