Orthodontic Braces & Aligners

Traditional metal braces are still the most popular and the oldest as well as the most effective method of orthodontic treatment throughout the world. They are affordable, while their design, using brackets, arch wires, and elastic bands to move teeth into the desired position, is still incredibly effective. This method of orthodontic treatment has evolved significantly, as the brackets that are bonded on front teeth are much smaller and can come in clear ceramic material. The arch wires that connect the brackets are thinner, and the elastic bands are clear. However, some patients choose coloured elastic bands for jazzing up their appliances. Clear or Ceramic Braces are the same as traditional metal braces; however, they are designed to look discreet. Brackets are made of translucent or tooth-colored material that makes it easier for them to blend with natural teeth. Ceramic or clear braces are crafted from ceramic alloys, and their transparency makes them one of the great options for adults who seek subtle solutions for straightening their teeth.

Benefits of Ceramic Braces:

• The material of these brackets does not stain the teeth during the treatment
• The strength of these braces is the same as traditional braces that help in achieving the same results without the obstruction to aesthetics

Aligners are modern-day invisible braces designed with the latest and innovative technology for straightening teeth and improving smiles without traditional metal braces. Clear aligner treatment involves a digital model of teeth being created by using advanced 3D computer imaging (popularly known as 3D scan).

Benefits of Aligners:

• Freedom to remove the Aligners when eating or cleaning the teeth.
• Clear Aligners treatment can align teeth as well as correct some incorrect bites.
• Suitability and easy-to-use feature for both adults and children.
• Aligners are transparent as they do not alter the cosmetic look of the smile.
