What Will Straighten My Teeth?

Braces are the most common way to straighten teeth. They are made of metal or ceramic brackets that are bonded to the front of the teeth, and connected by wires. Braces work by gradually moving the teeth into the desired position.

Aligners are another option for straightening teeth. They are made of clear plastic that fits over the teeth, and are changed every few weeks to gently move the teeth into the desired position.

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that are bonded to the front of the teeth. They can be used to improve the appearance of a smile by covering up gaps, chips, and stains.

Composite bonding is a process in which a tooth-colored resin is applied to the teeth to improve their appearance. It can be used to fill gaps, correct chipped teeth, and change the shape of the teeth.

Dental crowns are caps that are placed over the teeth to improve their appearance or function. They can be made of metal, porcelain, or a combination of materials.

Implants are artificial teeth that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. They are an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth.
