One of the most fun parts of getting braces is choosing the colours. While braces are all about straightening teeth, the colours you select let your personality shine through. Whether you want something bold, subtle, or seasonal, there’s a colour combination for everyone.

When treating a narrow upper jaw (maxillary constriction), orthodontic expansion can significantly improve bite, breathing and overall oral health. Three commonly discussed approaches are RME, MARPE and SARPE. While they all aim to widen the upper jaw, they differ in how they work, who they are suitable for, and where the treatment is carried out. 

If you're going through braces treatment, you've probably heard your orthodontist mention elastics, those tiny rubber bands that hook onto your brackets. They may look small, but they play a huge role in shaping your bite and overall smile. In this post, we'll walk through exactly what orthodontic elastics do, how to wear them, and tips to make your treatment as smooth and effective as possible.

Choosing the right type of braces is an important step in planning your orthodontic treatment. Each option offers unique advantages, along with factors worth thinking through before making a decision. At Aligned Orthodontics, we provide a range of solutions to suit different needs, lifestyles, and treatment goals. Below is a detailed overview to help you make an informed choice.

Angel Aligners are a modern clear-aligner system designed to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. In this blog, we answered common patient questions about what makes Angel Aligners different from other leading brands. Their smooth, polished edges, natural-looking material, and dual-aligner technology offer a comfortable and effective alternative for a wide range of orthodontic needs. With strong aesthetics, predictable tooth movement, and good value, Angel Aligners are becoming a popular choice for patients seeking a nearly invisible way to improve their smile.

Clear aligners have become an important part of modern orthodontics. They offer a way to straighten teeth without brackets or wires, relying instead on thin, clear trays that guide tooth movement gradually and comfortably. If you’ve been told that either Invisalign Teen or Angel Aligners could work for you, it’s natural to wonder what separates them. The truth is that the differences are small, and for most patients the experience feels very similar. These two systems follow the same overall process: digital scans, computer-based planning, and a sequence of aligners designed to produce steady progress. Both focus on efficiency, comfort, and discreet treatment, and both are capable of producing excellent results for teens and growing patients. From the wearer’s perspective, the overall approach and daily routine do not change much between the two options.
