Definition:

Braces and aligners are orthodontic treatments that correct misaligned teeth and bite issues, improving both function and appearance.

Types of Braces & Aligners:

Metal Braces – Traditional and effective for severe misalignment.
Ceramic Braces – Tooth-colored brackets for a more aesthetic look.
Lingual Braces – Placed on the inside of teeth, making them invisible.
Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign) – Removable, transparent, and comfortable.

Common Reasons for Braces & Aligners:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite issues
  • Spacing or gaps between teeth
  • Jaw misalignment and speech problems

Treatment Process:

  1. Consultation & X-rays – Assess misalignment issues.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan – Selection of the best orthodontic method.
  3. Placement of Braces or Aligners – Adjustments made periodically.
  4. Retention Phase – Retainers help maintain the new tooth position.

Diagnosis & Treatment:

  • X-rays and impressions taken before fitting braces or aligners.

Recovery & Prevention:

  • Initial discomfort lasts a few days.
  • Retainers maintain results after treatment.

Conclusion:

Braces and aligners gradually shift teeth into their ideal position, leading to a beautiful and healthy smile.
