The classics, refined
Braces
Braces have quietly evolved. Today's ceramic brackets nearly vanish against enamel, and self-ligating systems reduce friction, discomfort and visits. For complex movements they remain the most powerful instrument in orthodontics — which is why we still reach for them when the case demands it.
Duration
14–22 months
Visits
Every 6–8 weeks
Comfort

Why patients choose it
- Tooth-colored ceramic options, nearly invisible
- Self-ligating systems — fewer visits, gentler forces
- The strongest tool for complex corrections
- Often faster than aligners for difficult cases
Recovery
Cheek adaptation takes about a week; after that you forget them.
