Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve both function and appearance. Traditional metal braces are a time-tested solution, consisting of metal brackets affixed to the teeth and connected by wires. These braces apply continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position. They are particularly effective for complex alignment issues and are suitable for patients of all ages.  ​

In recent years, clear aligners have emerged as a popular alternative to metal braces. These removable, transparent trays are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth, gently shifting them over time. Clear aligners offer a discreet appearance and the convenience of being removable for eating and cleaning. However, they require strict adherence to wearing them for the recommended 20–22 hours per day to be effective.  ​

Choosing between traditional braces and clear aligners depends on individual needs, lifestyle, and the complexity of the dental issues. Consulting with an orthodontic specialist can help determine the most appropriate treatment plan to achieve a healthy, confident smile.
