Feel your crooked teeth are not letting you shine away or the bullying is getting really hard to ignore anymore? Welcome to the one stop solution to all your crooked problems.

First and foremost is the utmost requirement to go see the dentist on regular intervals so that he can identify any problem at its initial stage.

Your age is a big factor in deciding whether or not you need to fix your teeth. If you are between 8 to 10 years of age then your teeth will naturally come to an alignment after 10 years of age, this phase is known as the ugly duckling stage. After 10 years of age you can decide with your dentist how or if you want to proceed with orthodontic treatment for your crooked teeth.

You can either opt for braces or clear aligners. Braces are of three types, metal (buccal or lingual) and ceramic. Ceramic and lingual braces show more patient compliance as they are more aesthetic but are almost equally efficient as buccally placed metal braces. Braces are cheaper, less aesthetic, time consuming and less convenient as compared to clear aligners. Metal braces are also difficult to maintain as they cannot be removed by the patient and are difficult to clean whereas clear aligners can be removed by the patient and are easy to maintain.

At the end, the choice is yours, if you don’t want to put in the extra time and find it cost efficient then go for the newer and amazing advancement that is the clear aligners!
