Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are removable trays custom-made for each patient. They are nearly invisible, offering an esthetic solution. Since they can be removed while eating or brushing, oral hygiene is easier to maintain. Adults often prefer this method.

Braces

Braces involve brackets and wires to gradually align teeth. Metal braces are durable, while ceramic ones are more discreet. Braces remain the gold standard for children and complex cases.
