Expert orthodontic professionals advice the early evaluation at the age of seven. After the evaluation and correction of common jaw problems, orthodontic professionals correct the alignment of teeth using braces or other treatment options. Different types of treatment options are available for the correction of misaligned or crooked teeth. Using metal, clear, lingual, Damon system and other types of braces, orthodontic professionals of the New York City Orthodontist correct or align crooked or distorted teeth. We will discuss different braces. Metal braces have metallic brackets linked to each other. These brackets are fixed to teeth using the cemented material. Metallic brackets or wires are connected to each other using the archwires. Archwires have elastics on it which help in providing the desired elasticity. Due to pressure generated by elastics through archwires, forces transmit to crooked or distorted teeth. Gradually, all crooked teeth get aligned to the correct position. Braces are fixed options to correct the problems related to teeth. You have to wear braces all the time until your teeth get aligned. For removable options, you can also opt for the Invisalign treatment. In the Invisalign treatment, removable aligners are provided for the correction of crooked or misaligned teeth.

For aesthetic options, you can opt for the clear braces. Clear braces are made of transparent materials, so it is little difficult to notice the clear braces. Metal braces are very popular because they are very effective in dealing with the complex cases of teeth. Lingual braces are provided on the backside of the tongue, so it is impossible to notice them.
