They use modern, less noticeable metal braces. Clear Braces (Ceramic Braces): A more aesthetic alternative to metal braces, made from clear materials that blend with natural teeth, often preferred by older teenagers and adults. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign): A popular and discreet option, these removable, transparent trays gradually shift teeth into the desired position without the need for brackets or wires. They offer flexibility for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Self-Ligating Braces (e.g., Empower® from American Orthodontics): These advanced brackets use a sliding gate mechanism instead of rubber ties, offering a more hygienic and potentially more comfortable experience with continuous tooth movement. Orthognathic Surgery (Jaw Surgery): For more complex cases where jaw misalignment causes issues with chewing, speaking, breathing, or appearance.
