2. TRADITIONAL
BRACES
Traditional braces are metal
brackets that are fixed to the front
surface of the teeth. A wire is
threaded through each bracket and
tightened at various intervals
throughout the treatment.
3. Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that
straightens teeth without the use of
traditional metal braces. Invisalign is a
series of custom-made clear braces that
cover your teeth and gently pull them into
the proper position over time. They are
clear and can be taken on and off, they are
less noticeable than traditional metal
braces.
