Braces

Braces

Braces, also known as orthodontic appliances or dental braces, are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They are a common and effective solution for achieving a straighter, healthier smile.

Types of Orthodontic Appliances

• Metal braces: Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces. They consist of metal brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth.
• Ceramic braces: Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces, but they are made of tooth-colored ceramic material, making them less visible.
• Lingual braces: Lingual braces are attached to the back of the teeth, making them completely invisible.
• Invisalign aligners: Invisalign aligners are clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth.
• Clear aligners: Clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces. They are made of a transparent plastic material that fits snugly over the teeth and gently shifts them into the desired position. click to see all the dental care services.
