METALLIC BRACES

Metallic braces are made up of a combination of brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth. They work by gently adjusting the teeth into the correct position over time. Metallic braces are the most common type of braces and are used to treat a range of issues, including overcrowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and crooked teeth. Metallic braces are more noticeable than other types of braces, but they are generally more affordable and can be an effective way to straighten your smile.

CERAMIC BRACES

Ceramic braces are similar to traditional braces, but they are made of a translucent material that blends in with the natural color of your teeth, making them less noticeable. They are also smaller and smoother, making them more comfortable. Ceramic braces can be used to treat a variety of issues, including overcrowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and crooked teeth. They also have fewer food restrictions than traditional braces.

LINGUAL BRACES

Lingual braces are a type of braces that are placed on the back of the teeth, making them nearly invisible. They are custom-made for each patient and can treat a wide range of issues, including overcrowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and crooked teeth. Lingual braces are more expensive than other types of braces, but they offer the advantage of being undetectable.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We have the answers to your questions about teeth straightening
How long do I need to wear a retainer for?
Typically, dentists suggest wearing a retainer for at least 10-20 hours per day for 6-12 months after orthodontic treatment. However, it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions and wear your retainer as directed.
Does it hurt to have your bracket braces tightened?
It is normal to feel uncomfortable after having your braces tightened. However, the discomfort is usually mild and should not last more than a few days. Some discomfort may be experienced in the area of the teeth that have recently been adjusted.
What do rubber bands do for my braces?
Rubber bands are often used to help move your teeth into the desired position as you go through orthodontic treatment. They can be used to close spaces between teeth, bring them together, or widen them.
Can I get Invisalign instead of braces?
Yes, Invisalign is an option for those who are looking for an alternative to traditional braces. Invisalign works by creating a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired position. It is a great option for those who want to maintain a more discreet look while achieving their desired result.

PRO TEETH WHITENING

Professional teeth whitening treatments use special bleaching gels that are much stronger than the kinds of products you can purchase over-the-counter. Your dentist will be able to recommend a specific type of product for your teeth and provide you with custom-fitted trays for optimal results. The process usually takes multiple visits, with each visit lasting around an hour. During the procedure, your dentist will apply the product to your teeth, then use a specialized UV light or laser to activate the bleaching gel. After the treatment, you’ll have noticeably whiter teeth!

TEETH STRAIGHTENING

Teeth straightening at a dental clinic typically involves getting fitted for an orthodontic device such as braces or aligners. The process may involve several appointments, with each appointment lasting around an hour. During each appointment, your dentist will take x-rays and impressions of your teeth to help create a customized treatment plan. Your dentist will also discuss the cost of the procedure, the timeline of the treatment, and any potential risks associated with the treatment. Once you’ve gone through the initial consultation and agreed to the treatment, the dentist can start the process of straightening your teeth.

DENTAL VENEERS

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite material that are placed over the front surfaces of your teeth to improve their appearance. This procedure involves little to no downtime and can help you achieve a more even, whiter smile. Your dentist can tell you more about this procedure and the types of veneers available and recommend which type is best for you.
