Orthodontics Advances
• Digital Imaging- this procedure is now being practiced by many orthodontists to see the approximate result of the surgery before performing any orthodontic treatment.
• Nickel-titanium and thermal-activated archwires- these wires provide mild constant force so that the teeth can move efficiently to lessen the discomfort of the patients.
• Clear braces- just like the conventional braces, they also bond to the outer surface of the teeth only better because they are less noticed due to their clear natural color.
• In-office lab work- Used by doctors for them to have complete control in performing laboratory works like doing retainers and expanders.
