The choice is yours
Clear aligners or metal braces
Clear aligners
One Smile aligners are made of transparent, gentle, yet strong enough material for the teeth that they move. Each aligner is programmed to move the teeth a fraction of a millimeter. They are worn for 20 hours a day and changed every 14 days with the next set you receive. The therapy typically lasts between 5 to 8 months. Unlike metal braces, there is no need to visit the office for check-ups, but patients need to follow the protocol.

Dental braces
What are Dental Braces? Dental braces, also known as orthodontic braces, are orthodontic devices designed to straighten and align teeth over time. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that gently apply pressure to the teeth, guiding them into the desired position. Dental braces can effectively correct various orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, spacing problems, misaligned bites, and crooked teeth.
Types of Braces
Traditional Metal Braces: These are the most common type of braces, featuring metal brackets and wires.
Ceramic Braces: Ceramic braces are similar to traditional metal braces but feature clear or tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your natural teeth.
Lingual Braces: Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. They are an excellent choice for patients who desire a discreet orthodontic treatment.
