Orthodontics-Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Clear aligners, such
as Invisalign, are a popular alternative to traditional braces for orthodontic
treatment. These custom-made, transparent trays fit snugly over the teeth and
gradually shift them into the desired position. Patients receive a series of
aligners, each slightly adjusted, to wear for about two weeks before moving to
the next set. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable for eating and
cleaning, and offer a comfortable, convenient way to achieve a straighter
smile.
Orthodontics-Removable Braces
Removable braces, such as clear aligners, are orthodontic devices designed to straighten teeth without the need for fixed brackets and wires. These braces are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. They work by gradually shifting teeth into the desired position through a series of aligners that are changed every few weeks. Removable braces offer a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional fixed braces.
Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)
Teeth whitening, also known as bleaching, is a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens teeth and removes stains and discoloration. It can be done in-office by a dentist or at home using custom trays and whitening gels. In-office treatments use high-concentration bleaching agents and special lights or lasers to accelerate the whitening process, providing immediate results. At-home kits, provided by dentists, offer gradual whitening over several weeks.
Orthodontics-Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are a
traditional orthodontic treatment used to correct misaligned teeth and bite
issues. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets bonded to the teeth and
connected by a wire. Over time, the braces apply continuous pressure to move
teeth into the desired position. Regular adjustments by an orthodontist ensure
progress throughout the treatment, which typically lasts one to three years.
Fixed braces are highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic
problems.
