Types of Braces
Modern orthodontics offers several types of braces to suit different needs and budgets. The most common options are metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces and clear aligners.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most affordable and effective option. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than older versions.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them much less noticeable than metal ones. They are popular with adults and teenagers who are conscious about aesthetics.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners such as Invisalign are removable, virtually invisible trays custom-made for your teeth. They are ideal for mild to moderate alignment issues.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case. Most cases take between 12 and 24 months. Your orthodontist will give you a personalised timeline during your consultation.
