“Brace yourself & enjoy the ride”
Conventional Braces
Made of high-grade stainless steel.
Metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires.
You have the option of adding coloured elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colourful smile.
Ceramic Braces
Made of clear materials and are therefore less visible on your teeth than metal braces.
For this reason, they are used mainly on older teenagers and adult patients who have cosmetic concerns.
Self - Ligating Braces
Self-ligating appliances that are fitted in the same way as traditional metal braces.
But instead of having brackets that tighten and adjust the braces regularly, Self-ligating braces use a slide mechanism that attaches wires to brackets to move naturally with the teeth as they realign. Duration of treatment is shorter than conventional braces. You dont need to use coloured ‘O’ ring to hold the wires.
Clear Aligners
A series of invisible, removable, and comfortable acrylic trays that straighten your teeth like braces.
The aligners are comfortable and contain no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. For those who concerned about appearance, and need to wear braces.
