Orthodontic treatment is a necessary step for many children and adolescents who suffer from abnormal teeth and jaw alignment.There are many types of orthodontic treatments available, each with its own benefits. If you're considering orthodontic treatment, it's important to understand the different options so you can make an informed decision.
Braces.
Braces are the most common and best type of orthodontic treatments that are typically used to correct minor misalignments in the teeth. The braces attach to the teeth on either side of the problem area and help move the teeth into their proper alignment.

Invisalign.
Invisalign is a removable type of braces that uses clear aligners to change your teeth's alignment without having to remove them. The aligners gradually stretch over time as they pull on your teeth in order to correct your bite. Treatment usually takes around two years, but there's no need for constant visits to the dentist.
Retainer wear:
These small devices that sit behind your natural teeth and keep them in place while you wear your braces. They usually last between six and twelve months, after which time you'll need to have them replaced by a dentist or orthodontist. Retainers can be expensive, but they're usually worth the investment if you need them for long-term correction.
