Situated on the Chesapeake Bay, approximately 40 miles from Washington, D.C., Baltimore is a historic, diverse port. Famed for being the birthplace of America’s national anthem, Baltimore is also affectionately nicknamed “Charm City.” It’s a place to wander and wonder, with its cobbled streets, world-class museums, relaxing parks, and scenic waterfront at the Inner Harbor.
Young professionals and families are attracted to Baltimore for its relatively affordable housing and active social scene. It’s also considered a good place for employment, with healthcare and social assistance leading the growth. Other strong sectors include technology, cybersecurity, logistics and manufacturing
Alongside the city’s growing professional population, many residents are also embracing convenient lifestyle and wellness solutions - including teeth straightening options that fit busy schedules and modern routines. While traditional braces are still widely used, in comparison, ALIGNERCO Clear Aligners are more flexible and affordable. You can explore a wider selection of teeth straightening treatments below.

Dental technology has moved with the times and now offers several teeth straightening options to fit different budgets, needs, and lifestyles. Knowing more about them and how they differ can help you decide which option may be best for your smile.
More people than ever are turning to teeth straightening at home using clear aligners. They work by using a series of custom-made transparent trays that gradually move the teeth into their correct positions, without the need for wires and brackets.
For people who prioritize discretion, comfort, and convenience, ALIGNERCO Clear Aligners fit the bill. Treatment is virtually invisible, aligners can be removed to eat and brush, and fewer clinic visits mean greater flexibility for busy lifestyles.

- Virtually invisible
- Unlike fixed braces, no dietary restrictions are required
- Complete removal allows for better brushing and flossing
- Must be worn 20-22 hours a day for best results (or choose ALIGNERCO's night option for 8-10 hours of wear time)
- Clear plastic trays can easily be misplaced
- Less effective in severe or highly complex cases
When talking about teeth straightening, most people's thoughts turn to metal braces. These appliances utilize a series of brackets and wires fixed to the outside of the teeth that apply gentle pressure to move the teeth into alignment. They're worn for the duration of the treatment and can only be removed by a dentist.
They remain a mainstay of orthodontics for their ability to treat a wide range of orthodontic problems from mild to moderate misalignments through to complex bite problems.

- Less expensive option in most cases
- Extremely effective and proven over many decades
- Ideal for most case types
- Highly noticeable with a metal appearance
- Possibility of discomfort from brackets and wires
- Regular dental visits required for adjustments
Ceramic braces offer a more discreet alternative to traditional metal braces thanks to the use of tooth-colored brackets and wire. They work in the same proven way as metal braces, using fixed brackets to gradually guide teeth into position.
They're a great option for people with more complex misalignments seeking a subtle teeth straightening option. However, they do tend to cost more and are more fragile than their metal counterparts.

- Tooth-colored material means less visibility
- Good for improving mild to complex orthodontic issues
- Same proven mechanics as traditional metal braces
- Higher teeth straightening cost than conventional metal braces
- Ceramic braces are prone to staining if not cleaned properly
- Brackets are bulkier and more fragile than metal
If you prefer something less visible, then lingual braces are a solid teeth straightening option. Unlike other fixed braces, they're positioned on the inner side of the teeth and can't be seen when you smile, eat, or talk, offering a fantastic alternative to fixed metal braces.
On the flipside, because lingual braces are custom-made, the teeth straightening cost is often higher, and it can be more difficult to find a dentist who offers them.

- Completely invisible from the outside
- Effective for all types of cases
- Custom designed for a precise fit
- Typically, the most expensive option
- Lingual braces require specialised fitting
- Can affect speech until accustomed

Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional braces incorporate a single fixed appliance that remains in the mouth for the duration of your treatment. Teeth are moved with a series of brackets and wires, which, when regularly adjusted, push and pull the teeth into position. Alternatively, clear aligners incorporate a series of interchangeable, custom-made removable trays that sit over the teeth and apply a gentle and consistent directed force. This gentle pressure, brought about by swapping out each aligner every one to two weeks, gradually moves teeth over a period of weeks or months.
With fixed braces, yes. You will need to avoid foods like candy or popcorn, but also foods like crusty bread or pretzels, all of which can get lodged around the braces or break brackets and wires. Alternatively, because clear aligners are removed every time you eat or drink anything but water, there are no such dietary restrictions.
Clear aligners are made from smooth, comfortable medical-grade plastic, so they don’t irritate, plus there are no wires to chafe or scratch your mouth. That said, when you first start wearing an aligner, you will feel some pain as they apply pressure to your teeth and gums. Don’t worry, this is a sign that they’re working. You can usually ease any discomfort by taking over-the-counter medication. We also recommend swapping out your aligner for the next one overnight, so you can sleep through any discomfort.
