As you know, teeth are connected to jaws. And when teeth are crooked, they’re more difficult to clean and at risk for early decay and mouth
diseases that cause pressure to chewing muscles, leading to TMJ (Temporal Mandibular Joint) disorder, headache, neck, and shoulder pain.

Traditional Braces
The most common option in straightening crooked teeth. This procedure is done by wrapping your teeth in standard metal brackets. The tightening will create pressure which will gradually straighten the teeth. The tightening requires periodic adjustment to align your teeth to your jaw.

Damon Braces
Damon braces are like traditional braces, except they’re smaller and tighten, straighten teeth faster. It is also known for its “self-ligating,” nature, which means fewer visits to your orthodontist for manual adjustment, and lesser pain as manual adjustment usually causes discomfort that makes your mouth feel strained for few days

InvisalignInvisalign is a treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten the teeth. They look more physically appealing as you’ll hardly notice a person wearing a practically invisible retainer. Also, the wearer can conveniently remove it when eating or tooth brushing.

Lingual Braces
Lingual braces don’t make their users look like they’re wearing braces at all. Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, and not in front, hiding the sight of braces in one’s smile.
