About Braces & Aligners
Braces and aligners are orthodontic solutions designed to straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall oral health. While braces use metal brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their proper positions, aligners are clear, removable trays that provide a discreet alternative. Both options help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile and enhance your confidence.
At MEZAN Dental, we offer a wide range of braces and aligners tailored to your unique needs. Our expert orthodontic team ensures personalized care and precise results, making your journey to a perfect smile as comfortable and effective as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between braces and aligners?
Braces are fixed devices made of metal or ceramic that use brackets and wires to move teeth, while aligners are removable, clear trays custom-made to shift teeth gradually. Aligners are a more discreet and flexible option for many patients.
2. How long does treatment with braces or aligners take?
The duration depends on the complexity of your case. Braces typically take 12-24 months, while aligners may range from 6-18 months. Your orthodontist will provide a timeline based on your treatment plan.
3. Are braces or aligners painful?
You may experience mild discomfort or pressure when braces are adjusted or when switching to a new aligner tray, but this usually subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help if needed.
4. How do I care for my braces or aligners?
For braces, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing around brackets and wires, and avoid sticky or hard foods. For aligners, clean them regularly and store them properly when not in use. Always follow your orthodontist’s care instructions.
5. Am I a candidate for aligners?
Aligners are suitable for many orthodontic issues, but severe cases may require braces. A consultation with an orthodontist will determine the best treatment option for your needs.
