Metal braces are very effective, cheaper options that can achieve great results even though they don’t look aesthetically pleasing for some people.

Ceramic braces are as effective, as metal ones, but can be hidden. They are a bit pricier than metal braces.

Dr Layth recommends to start orthodontic treatments as early, as the first permanent teeth grow. The best age for braces is between 9-14 years old. However, there’s no age cap for starting teeth alignment treatment, as long as one’s committed to follow the instructions and dental health allows.

Definitely, invisible aligners such as Invisalign are aesthetically more pleasing than metal or ceramic braces. Yet they require at least 22 hours daily commitment of usage to achieve results. Teeth require constant pressure to move to the planned direction, be that by braces or aligners. They move the same pace with either of the aligner, so non of the option is faster than the other.

The price varies depending the complication of the case
