Want to get the perfect smile? Orthodontic treatment can help you get that by correcting crooked teeth and overall oral health. With advancements in orthodontic technology, there are now many options to suit everyone’s needs and preferences. In this article we will be looking at the top orthodontic treatments to get your perfect smile.
1) Braces
Braces are the most common and well known orthodontic treatment. They consist of metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by wires. Braces are highly effective in correcting many dental problems including overcrowding, gaps and misalignment. The brackets can be customised with different colours so you can add a bit of personality to your treatment.

While braces may not be as pretty as some of the other options, they are tried and tested and have a long history of success. They are also cheaper than some of the newer treatments.
2) Invisalign
Invisalign is a alternative to traditional braces for those who want a more discreet treatment. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners that move your teeth into position. These aligners are almost invisible so it’s a great option for those who are self conscious during treatment.
One of the benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners can be removed to eat and brush your teeth so better oral hygiene than traditional braces. But Invisalign may not be suitable for more complex dental problems.
3) Clear Aligners
Clear aligners like Invisalign are another option for those who want a discreet orthodontic treatment. These aligners are made from a clear, BPA free plastic material that is custom made to fit your teeth. Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to move your teeth into position.
Clear aligners have many advantages including better aesthetics and can be removed to eat and brush your teeth. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces as they have no wires or brackets. But clear aligners may not be suitable for severe dental problems.

4) Lingual Braces
If you want a treatment that’s completely hidden from view then lingual braces may be the way to go. Lingual braces are like traditional braces but the brackets and wires are on the back of your teeth so they are invisible from the front.
Lingual braces are effective in correcting many dental problems and a great option for those who want to straighten their teeth without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment. But lingual braces can take some time to get used to as they can affect your speech and be uncomfortable at first.
5) Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are another pretty option for those who want a more discreet treatment. These braces are like traditional braces but with tooth coloured or clear brackets and wires so they blend in with your natural teeth.
Ceramic braces are as effective as traditional braces but with a more subtle look. They are a great option for those who want to minimize the visibility of their orthodontic treatment. But ceramic braces may be more prone to staining and require more care to maintain their appearance.
6) Self-ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are a modern version of traditional braces. These braces have brackets with built in clips or doors to hold the wires in place so no elastic bands are needed. This design allows for smoother and faster tooth movement.

Self-ligating braces have many advantages including shorter treatment time, fewer appointments and easier maintenance. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces as they exert less pressure on the teeth. But self-ligating braces may not be suitable for all dental problems and may be more expensive than traditional braces.
7) Retainers
Retainers are a part of orthodontic treatment regardless of the type of braces you choose. After your braces are removed, retainers help maintain the new position of your teeth and prevent them from shifting back. Retainers can be removable or fixed depending on your needs.
You must wear your retainers as instructed by your orthodontist to achieve long term success of your treatment. Not wearing your retainers can cause your teeth to shift back to their original position.
8) Palatal Expanders
Palatal expanders are used to correct narrow dental arches and create more space for crowded teeth. These are used in children and teenagers whose jaws are still developing. Palatal expanders work by gradually widening the upper jaw so the teeth can align properly.
Palatal expanders are custom made to fit your mouth and are attached to the upper molars. They are adjusted periodically by your orthodontist to achieve the desired expansion. Palatal expanders can improve the alignment of your teeth and jaw and give you a more beautiful smile.

Orthognathic Surgery
Orthognathic surgery also known as corrective jaw surgery is a treatment option for those with severe dental and skeletal problems. This surgical procedure repositions the jaws to correct bite problems, improve facial symmetry and overall function.
Orthognathic surgery is usually done in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to get optimal results. It’s a complex procedure that requires careful planning and coordination between an oral surgeon and an orthodontist. Orthognathic surgery can change your smile and overall facial appearance.
Accelerated Orthodontics
Accelerated orthodontics is a new treatment option that aims to reduce overall treatment time. This technique uses innovative technologies such as high frequency vibration or micro-osteoperforations to stimulate bone remodeling and accelerate tooth movement.
Accelerated orthodontics can be used with any orthodontic treatment options including braces and clear aligners. It may not be suitable for everyone but it’s a great option for those who want to get their perfect smile in a shorter time.
Now that you know the top orthodontic treatment options, you can make an informed decision which one is best for you. Remember each individual’s dental needs are unique so it’s best to consult an orthodontist to determine the right treatment plan for your case. With the right treatment you’ll be on your way to get your perfect smile!
