Orthodontic treatments correct misaligned teeth and jaws. Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires, while aligners are clear, removable trays. Each method offers unique benefits and considerations.
Aligners typically take 6-18 months, with new sets every 1-2 weeks. Braces often require 18-24 months, with adjustments every month or two, depending on case complexity and patient compliance.
Both aligners and braces effectively correct orthodontic issues. Aligners are removable and nearly invisible, enhancing convenience and aesthetics. Braces are fixed, durable, and suitable for complex cases needing significant tooth movement.
