Although orthodontic treatment can be done at any age, it is recommended that a child gets Braces treatment between the ages of 12-15 years, as by this age most children have shed their milk teeth.
Adults who did not undergo braces or aligners during their teenage years can also get braces or aligners at any age, the earlier the better.

What are the different types of braces?
Braces can be of the following types:
- Metal braces- In these the brackets that are stuck to the teeth are made up of metal. These are the regular old fashioned braces.
- Invisible Ceramic braces- These brackets are made up of ceramic and are white in colour to match the shade of the patients’ teeth. Due to this quality they are much less visible than regular metallic braces.
- Self ligating braces- These can be metal or ceramic but they are “self locking” and hence don’t require elastics to hold the wire in place.
What are Aligners?
Invisible braces or Invisible aligners are removable plastic trays that are completely transparent. When a patient wears them, they are usually undetectable by everyone else. These trays slowly push the patients’ teeth into the desired position.
Generally speaking, aligners are more comfortable to wear than braces, but they need to be worn for 22 hours everyday to be effective. No compliance means no results.
Invisalign is the premier provider of Invisible aligner treatment. Dr. Pearl’s Dental Studio is Invisalign provider in North Delhi.
