Orthodontic consult: There are many types of braces and techniques. It's more important to find the best orthodontist you can and let him\her discuss your options with you. It's good to be informed so ask all the questions you want once you find the right orthodontist.

If it is Minor: Crowding, you can just have a removable appliance. If it is moderate to severe, you need a comprehensive work-up to determine what kind of treatment approach, material, device, ..Are needed and how long.

Braces: Type of Orthodontic appliance is based on the patient's malocclusion. Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. While some general Dentist's do tooth movement with a limited armamentarium, a specialist Orthodontist is trained in providing you with the widest solution choices. See an Orthodontist for an initial (usually free) examination, a fact-finding session for you.

Choices: There are a number of different kinds of braces. Even when it comes to metal, there are self-ligating (no colored ties) and non self-ligating (colored ties). There are also clear brackets, invisalign (and competitors), custom aligners (like invisalign but made by the doc) and lingual braces (not advised, however). What u use depends on your case (ask the doc ur options), cost and what you want
