Fixed Braces
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.
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.
