🦷 Orthodontic Treatment Options

What Are Braces?

Braces are a time-tested orthodontic treatment that use small brackets attached to each tooth, connected by wires and elastic bands. Over time, gentle pressure guides teeth into their proper position.

How They Work:

• Brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with wires.

• Adjustments are made regularly to keep teeth moving in the right direction.

• Treatment usually lasts 18–24 months, depending on the complexity of the case.

Benefits of Braces:

• Effective for correcting severe crowding, spacing, and bite problems.

• Suitable for children, teens, and adults.

• Options include traditional metal braces, ceramic (tooth-colored) braces, and lingual braces (placed behind the teeth).

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign is a modern alternative to braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth. Each aligner is custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth.

How It Works:

• Digital scans create a 3D model of your teeth.

• A series of aligners are designed to move teeth step by step.

• Aligners are worn 20–22 hours per day and changed every 1–2 weeks.

Benefits of Invisalign:

• Nearly invisible, making them ideal for adults and teens who prefer a discreet option.

• Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing.

• Comfortable, with no wires or brackets.

• Often requires fewer office visits compared to braces.

Choosing the Right Option

• Braces are best for complex cases and patients who don’t mind a visible appliance.

• Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate cases and those who want flexibility and aesthetics.
