BRACES AND ALIGNERS

Dental braces are orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth, correct bite problems, and improve overall dental alignment and oral health. Braces consist of brackets attached to the teeth and connected with wires that apply gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. They are commonly used to treat crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and other jaw alignment issues. Modern braces are available in different types, including metal braces, ceramic braces, self-ligating braces, and lingual braces, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Orthodontic treatment with braces not only improves the appearance of the smile but also enhances chewing, speech, oral hygiene, and long-term dental health.

Dental aligners are clear, removable orthodontic appliances used to straighten teeth and correct bite problems in a comfortable and discreet manner. Made from transparent medical-grade plastic, aligners gradually move teeth into their desired position through a series of custom-designed trays. They are commonly used to treat crowded teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, and mild to moderate bite issues without the need for traditional metal braces. Aligners are nearly invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and generally more comfortable than conventional braces because they do not contain wires or brackets. The treatment involves digital scanning, customized treatment planning, and periodic tray changes to achieve a healthier, well-aligned smile with improved aesthetics and oral function.
