What are Braces or Orthodontics?

Braces, or orthodontics, are dental devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaws, ensuring a healthier and more attractive smile. They work by gradually shifting teeth into their proper positions, improving both function and aesthetics.

Orthodontics Treatment Options and Braces Types

Our orthodontists will guide you through each option, helping you decide on your smile.

Damon or Self Ligating Braces

Damon braces are self-ligating braces that use a unique clip mechanism to hold the wire in place, reducing treatment time and producing faster results. These braces are also known for being more comfortable and easier to clean compared to traditional metal braces.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work similarly to metal braces but have clear or tooth-coloured brackets that blend in with your teeth, making them less noticeable. They are a great option for individuals who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.

Invisible Braces or Invisalign Braces

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses custom-made trays to shift teeth into place. These trays are virtually invisible, making them an ideal option for those who want a discreet and removable alternative to traditional braces.

Conventional or Metal Braces

Traditional metal braces are still one of the most effective and affordable options for straightening teeth. They use brackets and archwires to move teeth into their desired positions, making them suitable for more severe dental issues.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces, but the brackets and wires are placed on the inside of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. They are an excellent option for those who want discreet treatment without wearing aligners.
