Modern orthodontics offers several ways to straighten teeth. All of them work — the best choice depends on your bite, your lifestyle and your budget.
Metal braces
Stainless-steel brackets are the most affordable and the most robust option. They handle complex cases well and need no discipline beyond good brushing.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic brackets work the same way as metal ones but are tooth-coloured, so they are far less noticeable. They cost a little more and need slightly more care to avoid staining the elastic ties.
Clear aligners
Aligners are a series of transparent trays that you change every one to two weeks. They are nearly invisible and removable for eating, but they must be worn 20–22 hours a day to work.
How long does treatment take?
Most cases take between 12 and 24 months. A 3D scan at your first consultation lets your orthodontist estimate the duration and show a simulation of the result.
At Davao Summit Dental Clinic, every type of braces can be paid in 0% interest monthly instalments.
