Braces (Orthodontics) and Aligners
What are Braces and Aligners?
Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment?
- Improved Oral Function: Proper alignment improves chewing and speaking.
- Enhanced Aesthetics: Straight teeth enhance your facial appearance and smile.
- Easier Maintenance: Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Correct Bite Issues: Address problems like overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
Types of Braces and Aligners We Offer
- Metal Braces These are the most common type of braces, made of high-quality stainless steel. Metal braces are durable, cost-effective, and efficient in treating severe alignment issues.
- Ceramic Braces Made of tooth-colored material, ceramic braces are less noticeable than metal braces, offering a more aesthetic option for straightening teeth.
- Self-Ligating Braces These braces use a specialized clip instead of elastic ties, making them more comfortable and reducing treatment time.
