Braces
"Dental braces are devices used in orthodontics to align and straighten teeth and help to position them with regard
to a person's bite, while also working to improve dental health. They are often used to correct underbites, as well as malocclusions, overbites,
open bites, deep bites, cross bites, crooked teeth, and various other flaws of the teeth and jaw. Braces can be either cosmetic or structural.

Metal Braces
CONVENTIONAL METAL BRACES
Conventional Metal Braces
Traditional braces are the most common type of braces used. It consists of standard metal brackets that are adhered to your teeth with an adhesive and connected by wire. Colored 0-rings hold the wire to the bracket.
They require periodic wire changes so that the wire can gradually straighten your teeth and align your jaw as needed. While metal braces brackets are still the most common, other treatment options are available today.

SELF LIGATING BRACES
Self ligating braces uses an innovative clip system to attach the wire to the brackets. This reduces frictional resistance allowing teeth to move more freely with less applied force allowing treatment to be more comfortable and tooth movement more efficient.

Treatment time is reduced and less visits are needed for the wire change.
Self ligating braces still do have that metal braces look because they still adopt the bracket and wire way of moving teeth.
Invisalign
INVISALIGN
INVISALIGN
Invisalign as the name implies allows you to move your teeth without the metal braces look. It uses a series of custom-made aligners. These removable aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth.
Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist plan out for you. There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten. You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete.
