A beautiful, healthy smile starts with well-aligned teeth that ensure your teeth, jaws, and lips can work properly.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities.
Braces
Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces) are a device used in orthodontics to align teeth and their position with regard to a person's bite. They are mainly used on children and teenagers, however adults can also use them.
Metal Braces
These are the most commonly worn braces.These are made of special type of high grade stainless steel. Conventional metal braces are now smaller, more efficient and comfortable .
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of composite materials. Ceramic braces utilize less noticeable brackets for patients concerned about the appearance of their smile. Ceramic braces are translucent, so they blend in with your natural tooth color. This means that unlike traditional stainless metal braces, ceramic braces won’t make your smile look "metallic."
Self Ligating Braces
Smart Clip braces are self-ligating appliances that hold arch wires in place without rubber bands. Smart clip produces a less painful and rapid tooth movement requiring less chairside time and fewer appointments. Two types of self ligating braces are metal and ceramic.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, and are therefore virtually invisible to other people. Usually, lingual brackets are made of metal. Lngual orthodontics particularly well-suited for adults whose professions keep them in the public eyes.
