But braces will make me look odd
Orthodontists could be a treatment for patients to consider if they wish they had straighter teeth. Wishing for straighter teeth is a common occurrence amongst people. It is understandable that an adult may be wary of this treatment because of the way they think that their teeth will look like during the treatment episode. There have been many developments in this field of dentistry to allow this treatment both to work effectively as well as be aesthetically pleasing. Clear aligners are popular because they are virtually invisible. Fixed braces can also come in tooth coloured brackets, this uses white ceramics. These types of fixed appliances are the most popular as they do not attract attention when the patient is undergoing treatment. Every effort has been made to ensure that this treatment is accessible to a wide range of people. This treatment has been developed so it is more effective as well as being the most comfortable process that it can be.

The first of these types is clear aligners which are removable to ensure easy cleaning. This treatment forces the teeth into their correct position in a quick and comfortable manner. Removable appliances are designed to correct smaller issues to do with the teeth. They are made out of plastic and clip over the area of the mouth they are aiming to correct. They are designed to be removed only for cleaning purposes. The final form of this treatment is the fixed appliances that are used to gently force the teeth into the correct position, this form is made out of wires and brackets that are attached to the teeth with glue. If a patient requires one of these treatments an orthodontist would advise on the best course of action for that specific patient.
