What Are Braces and Aligners?
Braces and aligners are orthodontic treatments that gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They address issues like crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. At Bhuvneshwari Dental Clinic in Haridwar, Dr. Shivangi Sharma provides both traditional metal braces and clear aligner options for patients aged 12 and above.
Depending on the severity of misalignment, treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Clear aligners are popular among adults and teens who prefer a less visible option, while traditional braces remain effective for complex cases.
Types of Orthodontic Treatment We Offer
- Metal Braces: Traditional brackets and wires, effective for all types of misalignment. Most affordable option.
- Clear Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that are less noticeable than metal braces.
- Clear Aligners: Removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift teeth. Ideal for mild to moderate cases.
- Self-Ligating Braces: Modern braces with a sliding mechanism that may reduce treatment time and discomfort.
Who Can Benefit from Braces or Aligners?
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for both teenagers and adults. Common concerns that can be addressed include:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Misaligned dental arches
Additionally, properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Straight teeth also improve chewing function and may enhance speech.
