A treatment that corrects tooth alignment and occlusion by gradually moving teeth using appliances. Metal, lingual, and clear types are available.
Orthodontics is a treatment that corrects uneven teeth and malocclusion by applying continuous force to the teeth using brackets, clear aligners, etc., to gradually move them into position. It benefits not only aesthetics but also chewing, pronunciation, and oral health.
There are metal/ceramic brackets (outer), lingual (inner), and clear aligners (removable aligners), and the choice depends on aesthetics, convenience, and the complexity of the case.
If you do not consistently wear a retainer after treatment, your teeth may shift back (relapse), so maintaining good oral hygiene is important.
It depends on the case, and fixed braces may be more effective for complex malocclusions. The decision is made after diagnosis.
If the retainer is not worn consistently, it can revert (relapse), so maintenance is important.
