    Improving teeth function

    If you can't chew well with malocclusion, it can be fixed through correction treatment.

    With snaggletooth, a shape of face and lip could be looked strange or awkward. They can be improved by correction treatment and help you overcome complex with your appearance, even raise your self-confidence.

When to Get Orthodontics

There isn't specific time for orthodontics.
However, it's false that you have to get it after all of permanent tooth come out. For children, it depends on the type of malocclusion.

It can be separate as wrong teeth arrangement, jaw issue or both.

With wrong arrangement, the treatment is available any time after 12-13 years of age, when all permanent teeth come out.

It starts before then, around 7-8 years old, when a child has malocclusion or there isn't enough space to have all of permanent teeth For adults,
they can decide when they need it and it doesn't have any relationship between age or when to get the treatment Therefore,
any age is available for orthodontics unless you have serious problem with your jawbone.

Metal

It's the most common and used type for correction.

Ceramic

It's one of transparent types and made of porcelain material. The ceramic's color doesn't change but it's more fragile than metal one. However, it doesn't mean that ceramic is less effective than metal and it's strong enough to endure whole treatment process. Most of all, it looks better with esthetic aspect.

Resin

This is another transparent type and material is plastic. It doesn't break but possibly its color could be discolored. However, this is also as effective as metal and color is fine within 1-2 year treatment period.
