There are several alternative options to clear aligners for straightening teeth. Some of these options include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, and lingual braces. Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and consist of metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by a wire. Ceramic braces are similar to traditional braces, but the brackets are made of tooth-colored material, making them less noticeable. Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces, but the brackets and wires are attached to the back (lingual) side of the teeth, making them invisible from the front. Another alternative option is Invisalign, which is a type of clear aligner system that uses a series of custom-made aligners to gradually move the teeth into their correct positions. Your dentist or orthodontist can help you determine the best treatment option for your needs.
