Smile straighten karne ke options ab sirf steel braces tak limited nahi rahe. Clear aligners—jo almost invisible, removable plastic trays hote hain—kaafi popular ho gaye hain. Dono approaches ka apna fan club hai.
Traditional braces (metal ya ceramic) teeth pe fixed lagte hain. Unka plus point hai strong control—complex movements, rotations, severe crowding me bhi kaafi predictable results de sakte hain. Downside: visible hardware, food restrictions (sticky/hard foods se bachna), aur cleaning thodi detailed ho jati hai.
Clear aligners lifestyle friendly lagte hain—meeting, photos ya special events me discreet feel aata hai. Eating ke time trays remove ho jate hain, to food choices flexible rehte hain. Lekin condition hai discipline: din me 20–22 ghante pehenna padta hai. Agar patient aligners frequently nikal ke rakh de, to treatment slow ya ineffective ho sakta hai.
Mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, ya relapse cases aligners se often well manage ho jate hain. Very complex jaw problems, major bite corrections ke liye kabhi braces ya combination approach better hota hai.
Cost, comfort, cleaning habit, case complexity—ye sab milke decision influence karte hain. Best hai orthodontist se detailed consultation, jahan wo X-ray, scans, aur expectations dekh ke honest comparison de.
