How Orthodontic Treatment Works
Orthodontics uses appliances that are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to their proper position.
You can now choose clear or metal brackets, hidden braces (Incognito), or clear aligners (Invisalign) and, in some cases, the color of your appliances to suit your style! Wires are far less noticeable and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces or clear aligners!
