The only way to determine which treatment is right is through a clinical evaluation.
What types of orthodontics are there?
The best-known systems are braces and aligners. The choice depends on the diagnosis, your goals and your needs.
Metal braces
Small pieces fixed to the teeth and connected with a wire to move them gradually. It is a widely used system.
Clear (esthetic) braces
They work the same way as metal braces but are more discreet because of their translucent appearance. Whether they are indicated depends on each case.
Clear aligners
Series of transparent aligners that are changed in stages. They are removable when appropriate, require professional follow-up and are not indicated for every case.
No system is best for everyone: your evaluation determines which one is right for you.
