Braces and aligners are orthodontic treatments aimed at correcting misalignments and irregularities in dental alignment, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. Braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to teeth, connected by wires and bands, applying gentle pressure to gradually shift teeth into the desired position.
Aligners, a more discreet alternative, are clear, removable trays customized to fit a patient's teeth. They offer a convenient and less noticeable option for orthodontic correction, especially favored by individuals seeking a more aesthetically pleasing solution.
Orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners is not limited to cosmetic improvements; it also addresses bite issues, overcrowding, and spacing irregularities. The treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case and individual response to the orthodontic forces.
