Orthodontics is a stream in dentistry that is dedicated to correcting crooked, distorted or overlapping teeth to give it a more straightened and aligned look. Though the procedure that involves wearing braces is rather time consuming the result that it gives out is irresistibly satisfying. If in the past orthodontics meant stainless steel metal braces that gave out the metallic smile, the new-age orthodontics is all about 'Invisible braces'. These braces of plastic mould works the same way as metal braces, but wards off much of the nuisances that metal were known for. If metal braces restricted orthodontic treatment to children, their invisible counterparts gives adults an opportunity to correct their dental flaws as these are not evident when on your teeth.
