Braces or Aligners? Find Out Which Option is Right for You

What Is Orthodontics and Why Does It Matter?

Orthodontic treatment is not just cosmetic — it plays a key role in your oral health. It helps:

  • Prevent cavities and gum disease.
  • Improve bite and speech.
  • Avoid premature wear on teeth.
  • Enhance your confidence with a straighter smile.

Clear Aligners: The Aesthetic Alternative

Features:
