Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that deals with, diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned and crooked teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment can help you to have straight teeth and a bright, beautiful smile.
Braces: Braces use gentle pressure to shift teeth into proper alignment gradually. During the procedure, Brackets are placed on your teeth, and an archwire is placed into the brackets. The wire applies pressure on the brackets and moves your teeth into the correct position.
Metal Braces/Traditional Braces: These are the metal brackets and wires that most people imagine with the word "braces." Now a days modern brackets are smaller in size and less noticeable.
Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are the identically of same size and shape as metal braces; besides that, they have tooth-colored or cleared brackets that combine into teeth. At Healthy Teeth Dental Clinic & Implant Centre, we also use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable.
Invisalign: Invisalign treatment uses sets of clear aligner trays that progressively move your teeth into the desired position. Because of its clear design, the trays blend into the mouth, making it difficult to tell that you're even wearing them.
