Orthodontics

Traditional braces and retainers are used to help to straighten crooked teeth and correct a misaligned bite in patients as young as 8 or 9. In some cases, a removable retainer will be all that's necessary; in severe cases, surgery may be recommended. Braces, which consist of bands, wires, and other fixed or removable corrective appliances, work by applying continuous pressure over a period of time to slowly move teeth in a specific direction. Newer mini-braces, which are much smaller than traditional braces, are an option for some. Braces usually remain in place for 1-3 years, followed by the use of a retainer.

Clear aligner therapy are popular because they can do a lot of the things traditional orthodontics can do, more discreetly and conveniently. 

Many tooth movements are possible with clear aligners.  However, some cases are still better-suited for traditional braces, or a combination of techniques.
