Teeth straightening improves both the appearance and function of your smile by correcting misaligned teeth.
There are several orthodontic methods to achieve this, each suited to different needs and budgets. The most common options include:
1. Traditional Metal Braces
- Effective for complex cases.
- Cost: R10,000 to R25,000.
2. Ceramic Braces
- Discreet, tooth-colored brackets.
- Cost: R20,000 to R35,000.
3. Invisalign (Clear Aligners)
- Nearly invisible and removable.
- Cost: R40,000 to R50,000.
4. Lingual Braces
- Hidden behind the teeth, making them invisible.
- Cost: R30,000 to R50,000.
Benefits of Teeth Straightening
- Improved Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
- Enhanced Confidence: A straight smile can boost self-esteem and social interactions.
- Better Bite and Functionality: Teeth straightening can help with issues like overbites, underbites, and jaw pain, leading to improved chewing and speech.
How to Choose the Best Option
Your choice will depend on factors like the severity of your misalignment, personal preferences (visibility of braces), and budget. Consult with an orthodontist to determine the most suitable treatment for your needs.
