Braces:
They are the most common type of devices used to fix the alignment. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands. They come in metal, ceramic, and lingual form. Braces are considered highly effective for both teens and adults. They gradually move your teeth and help you achieve perfectly aligned teeth.
Palatal Expanders:
Fixed expanders are used to widen the upper jaw. They can be used for both adults and children. They help make space for the crowded teeth and help improve bite alignment. They are attached to the upper molars and are adjusted as needed.
Space Maintainers:
They are usually used for children who have lost teeth at an early stage. Fixed space maintainers hold the space until the new tooth erupts. This prevents unwanted tooth shifting.
Habit-Breaking Appliances:
Some appliances also help stop the habits that may affect your teeth. These may include thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. If not prevented, these habits can lead to misalignment.
