Braces & Aligners

Braces or aligners — your journey to a perfect smile.

A straighter smile is about more than just looks — it’s about overall dental health and confidence.

What Are Braces & Aligners?

Braces & Aligners are used to straighten teeth, correct misalignment, and improve bite. Braces not only improves the appearance of your smile but also improve chewing, speech, and oral health.

Types of Braces

1. Metal Braces

Metal braces are traditional braces made of stainless steel. They are highly effective for correcting all types of dental misalignment and, although visible, are extremely durable and long-lasting.

2. Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces use tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend with your natural teeth. They are less visible than metal braces, offering a more aesthetic option, but they are slightly more fragile than metal braces.

3. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign)

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are removable, transparent trays that move teeth into proper alignment. They are virtually invisible, making them an aesthetic alternative to traditional braces. For optimal results, they must be worn consistently for 20–22 hours a day, and progress is monitored regularly by our orthodontist.
