You should see an orthodontist for braces/Clear Aligner/Invisalign treatment. Orthodontist is a dental specialist trained extensively to treat malocclusion and other facial/dental irregularities.

Braces are a type of orthodontic treatment used to straighten your teeth. They can correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crooked, crowded, gapped, and overlapped teeth. Oasis Dental Care provides various types of braces such as Metal Braes, Ceramic or Clear Braces, Damon Self Ligating Braces (Metal/Clear Braces). Clear braces are discreet and less noticeable than metal braces.
Clear aligners are transparent custom-made dental braces made of plastic material. They are fabricated to fit each person’s mouth. These are the least visible orthodontic treatment available. The aligners/Invisalign cannot be seen in photographs or from a far. These braces are clear and blend in more with the natural colour of the teeth.
Metal or Ceramic braces are usually worn for 8 to 18 months. However, each case is different, and the time duration depends on the age of the patient, severity of malocclusion and the type of braces used. There are some cases where patients need to wear braces for a longer period.
Clear Aligners are usually worn 4 to 12 months. Normally, the Clear Aligner/Invisalign treatment duration will be less than traditional braces treatment duration. However, each case is different, and the time duration depends on the age of the patient and severity of malocclusion. There are some cases where patients need to wear Clear Aligner for a longer period.
Clear aligners are a series of tight fitting custom fit invisible braces that slip over the teeth. These are removable appliances, and they have to be worn for at least 22 hours a day. A series of clear aligners are given to the patient each one worn for a specific period of time until the desired movement is achieved. Clear aligners/Invisalign are made based on the digital models made from the impressions of the teeth. It is based on series of gradual tooth movement to achieve desired tooth position. 3-D computer imaging technology is used to plan and map your complete orthodontic treatment. Clear aligners have to be replaced with a new set every 14-day based on the treatment plan. Your teeth are progressively moved into place by the series of customized clear aligners. Malocclusions like mild to moderate crowded teeth, open bite, deep bite, cross bite, spacing, TMJ issues can be corrected by using clear aligners/Invisalign.
