The Goal of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment aims to adjust the alignment of the teeth and jaws, thereby helping to improve the patient's oral health.
To achieve this goal, orthodontic appliances are used. These bring the teeth into the desired position by exerting gentle pressure on them over several months, or even years, using either fixed (braces) or removable (clear aligners) orthodontic appliances.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal or ceramic braces have been used for decades to align teeth. With all the advances in orthodontics, wearing braces has never been easier.
How do Braces Work?
Braces exert continuous pressure on the teeth, moving them slowly. As the teeth move, the bone changes shape to accommodate the new position of the teeth.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign aligners can be a good solution for treating malocclusion in a person who dreads wearing traditional braces.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made and can gradually shift the position of your teeth. In this way, millimeter by millimeter, your teeth will adopt the desired position in just a few months.
The aligners are removable, easy to handle and resemble customized whitening trays. You'll need to remove them before eating, drinking or brushing, and change them every two weeks.
