Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals into treating teeth, gums and jaw points to improve the appearance and functioning of mouth.
Orthodontic treatments are ideally required to treat crowding, crookedness, protruding, overbite,deep bite, crossbite, open bite, misplaced midline and spacing.
Once a problem is diagnosed, an orthodontist uses a myriad of solutions to offer a healthier mouth, long-lasting teeth and a pleasant appearance. Orthodontic treatments can be done by many sorts of devices commonly known as ‘Braces’.

Metal Braces

Metal braces are highly synonymous with the word ‘braces’ since these are the most common type of braces.

Metal Braces : Traditional metal braces have a metal bracket with elastic ties holding the wire onto the braces. Metal braces are noticeable, require more adjustments than any other braces and are the least expensive.

Self-ligating Braces : Self-ligating braces are conventional braces except the need for metal or elastic ties. Instead, a specialised clip is used which reduces the treatment time, pain and requires fewer adjustments.

Ceramic/Clear Braces

Clear braces are tooth-coloured or transparent as the name suggests and are hardly noticeable. Clear braces have greater aesthetic value as compared to metal braces but they’re more expensive and can get stained easily if uncared for.

Lingual Braces

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are a newer & aesthetic form of orthodontic work more popular in adults than children. These custom-made braces are virtually invisible and easier to adapt to as they are placed on the back of the teeth. Although there are a few precautionary measures to clean and manage lingual braces, it has practical and cosmetic advantages.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners straighten and align the teeth in a smooth way forgoing the traditional way of braces with clasps, screws or brackets. Made of clear, flexible plastic, these aligners are invisible and also, completely removable with no dietary modifications as in case of metal braces.
You can remove them to eat, brush, floss or to attend special occasions. Additionally, it offers a discreet look and is certainly a conscious, adult-friendly orthodontic option.
