What are common orthodontic procedures?
Some common orthodontic procedures include braces, clear aligners and retainers. Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Clear aligners are a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners that are worn over the teeth and gradually move them into the desired position. Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment to help keep teeth in their new position.
