I want braces but not traditional train tracks to fix my mildly crooked teeth, what do I get?

Q.
hello I am thinking of having braces and have looked through this website for alternatives to the old fashioned metal braces. I do not want these as Id rather have crooked teeth, they are horrible clumpy things! what I cannot do well on here though is compare my favourites side by side (any website in general) what I would do therefore is ask your opinion. in correcting crooked bottom (they aren’t massively crossed which is why I have had the luxury of taking my time thinking about having them done) teeth what what would you say was the best orthodontic treatment to fix them without getting traditional fixed braces? cheers

Hi,

Thank you for your question.

You will be amazed at the wide variety of orthodontic options which are now available, ranging from the totally visible orthodontic appliances to the completely invisible orthodontic appliances.

As you have mentioned above that due to aesthetics you would not want to utilise metal fixed appliances, there are less visible or invisible appliances available such as; ceramic appliances which are clear braces placed on the front of the teeth or lingual braces which are placed on the back of your teeth which are therefore completely invisible.

I would recommend that you have a consultation with a specialist orthodontist, where you can determine the orthodontic option which is right for you.

I hope the above has helped and good luck with your orthodontic journey.
