Clear Aligner Therapy

Clear aligners provide a discreet, removable alternative to traditional braces for correcting teeth misalignment. Using a series of custom-fitted transparent trays, these aligners gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. This aesthetically pleasing option allows for easy maintenance and flexibility with a minimal impact on daily life.

Traditional Brackets and Wire Braces

As the most common type of braces worn, today’s metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and attractive. Comprising metal brackets attached to teeth and interconnected by wires, this method gradually guides teeth into proper alignment. While visible, these braces are highly effective, allowing for precise adjustments to achieve a straight, healthy smile.
