Fixed Orthodontics (Metal or Ceramic Braces)

The most popular type of orthodontics commonly seen uses metal or high-quality ceramic braces. These are attached to the front surface of the teeth, and the elastic bands are replaced monthly as they lose their effectiveness. Because the elastics can change color and there are many color options, this type is popular among general orthodontic patients who want colorful braces and don’t mind others seeing their braces.

Invisalign is a clear, metal-free orthodontic system using transparent aligners designed specifically for each patient. The aligners are made from SmartTrack™, a flexible material that is easy to remove and wear, allowing your teeth to be aligned beautifully while keeping a natural look that no one will notice, unlike traditional metal braces. Each Invisalign set gradually moves your teeth naturally, making brushing and eating easier.

The average treatment time is about 1-2 years, roughly 30% shorter than conventional braces, depending on the dental health and structure of each person. Patients should visit the orthodontist every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligner sets. The number of aligners depends on each individual’s needs, as determined by the orthodontist.
