Orthodontics

- Orthodontic treatment corrects misaligned teeth and/or jaw bone discrepancies.
- Currently, there are two types of orthodontic appliances: fixed appliances, such as conventional metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth, and invisible, removable appliances known as clear aligners.
- The choice of appliance is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending on the movements required and the patient’s age.

Advantages of invisible appliances (clear aligners)
- Aesthetic and virtually imperceptible
- More comfortable and easier to clean

Advantages of conventional appliances (brackets)
- Faster and more predictable treatment
- More affordable price
