Types of Orthodontic Treatments
- 1. Traditional Metal BracesThe most common and effective option for complex cases. Modern braces are smaller, more comfortable, and customizable.
- 2. Ceramic BracesAesthetic alternative to metal braces—less noticeable but just as effective.
- 3. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign®)Virtually invisible and removable, making them a popular choice for adults and teens seeking a discreet option.
- Lingual BracesPlaced behind the teeth, offering a hidden solution for those who prefer complete discretion.
When Should You See an Orthodontist?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. However, orthodontic treatment isn’t just for kids—adults of all ages can benefit from straighter teeth and a healthier bite.
