What is Orthodontic?
Orthodontic treatment is a dental specialty that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. This can involve the use of braces, aligners, and other appliances to straighten teeth, improve bite alignment, and create a more aesthetically pleasing smile. Orthodontic treatment can also help to improve overall oral health and function.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic trays to gradually straighten teeth. They are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces because they are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Clear aligners are often used to correct mild to moderate dental misalignments and can effectively straighten teeth without the need for metal wires and brackets.
Metal Braces
Traditional braces are orthodontic appliances made of metal brackets and wires that are used to straighten and align teeth. The brackets are glued to the teeth, and the wires are threaded through the brackets to apply gentle pressure and gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Traditional braces are effective for correcting a wide range of dental misalignments, including crowded or crooked teeth, gaps, and bite issues. They are a durable and reliable option for orthodontic treatment and are often recommended for more complex cases.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are a type of orthodontic treatment that is similar to traditional metal braces, but the brackets are made of clear or tooth-colored ceramic material. This makes them less noticeable on the teeth compared to metal braces. Like traditional braces, ceramic braces use wires and elastic bands to gradually move the teeth into the desired position. They are a popular option for individuals who want a less noticeable alternative to metal braces while still benefiting from the effectiveness of traditional orthodontic treatment.
