Braces at Alora Dental Clinic

The Braces, commonly referred to as braces, is a mainstream dental technique designed to correct and align a person's dentition. Beneficial for both aesthetic and health reasons, the process involves repositioning misaligned teeth to improve your oral health and overall appearance. Aesthetic benefits aside, the Braces in Metro Manila also assists in enhancing oral hygiene, reducing discomfort when chewing, and even helping in speech correction in certain scenarios.

A thorough understanding of the Braces requires patient awareness regarding the longevity and complexity of the procedure. The dentist assesses the oral condition of an individual and plans a custom treatment accordingly. The treatment is usually achieved through subsequent periodic modifications that help guide teeth to their correct position over time. Your dentist unwaveringly monitors the Braces process, ensuring progress, and addressing any potential complications promptly.

There are several types of braces, including:

• Metal braces –are the traditional braces that come to mind for most people. Metal braces are made of metal brackets and an archwire is used to put pressure on your teeth and jawline, and O-rings are used to connect the brackets and the archwire.
• Ceramic braces – these are the same shape and size of metal braces. However, they are tooth-colored or clear, so they blend in with your teeth.
• Lingual braces – this type of braces are essentially the same as traditional metal braces, except that the wires and brackets are placed on the inside of your teeth.
• Clear aligners – mostly known as Invisalign (the most popular brand of clear aligners), these are removable, clear braces. This type of braces is best for people who only need minor corrections.

Braces are usually used during adolescence. However, more and more people are getting them later on in life.
