There are several options for straightening crooked teeth, depending on your needs and budget:
- Traditional metal braces – Most effective for severe misalignment, usually taking 18–24 months.
- Ceramic braces – Less visible than metal braces but work similarly.
- Self-ligating braces (Damon braces) – Faster than traditional braces with less discomfort.
- Clear aligners (Invisalign, Spark) – Nearly invisible and removable, ideal for mild to moderate cases.
- Lingual braces – Placed behind the teeth for a hidden appearance.
- Veneers – Cosmetic option to improve appearance without moving teeth, best for minor misalignment.
A consultation with a dentist or orthodontist will help determine the best option for you.

Clear aligners ( Invisalign ) is the proper option.
