Braces
Traditional braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments, consisting of metal or ceramic brackets and wires. These braces gradually shift teeth into their correct positions over time, using continuous pressure. The brackets are attached to each tooth, and the wires are adjusted periodically to guide the teeth into alignment. While metal braces are more noticeable, ceramic braces blend more naturally with the color of the teeth, offering a more discreet option. Braces can correct a wide range of dental issues, such as overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites, making them a versatile choice for patients of all ages.

Retainers
Retainers are devices worn after orthodontic treatment, typically following the removal of braces or clear aligners. Their main purpose is to maintain the newly aligned positions of the teeth and prevent them from shifting back to their original, misaligned state. Retainers are custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth and can be either removable or fixed. The use of retainers is essential for long-term results and is typically prescribed for a certain period after active orthodontic treatment. Regular use of retainers ensures that the teeth remain in their optimal position, providing lasting results and stability.

Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are custom-made to fit each patient’s mouth and are designed to gradually shift teeth into place over time. One of the key advantages of Invisalign is its discreet appearance; the clear aligners are nearly invisible when worn, making it a popular choice for adults and teens who are concerned about the visibility of traditional braces. The aligners are also removable, which allows patients to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene without the restrictions that come with braces. Invisalign offers a comfortable, flexible, and aesthetically pleasing option for orthodontic treatment.
