Quick guide

Most adult treatments fall into two main options: clear aligners or braces. The right fit depends on what you want to change (alignment, bite, gaps, crowding), and how predictable the movement needs to be.

Clear aligners

Discreet, removable trays that gradually move teeth. Often ideal for mild-to-moderate alignment concerns.

Braces

Fixed braces are highly effective for rotations, complex movement, and many bite-related problems.
