You can't pick braces from a photo. It starts with a check-up at the dentist or an orthodontist (braces specialist), who explains whether fixed braces or clear aligners suit your case and the follow-up you can manage.
At the dentist
The dentist looks at how your teeth line up, how they close together and the health of your mouth, then decides whether you should see an orthodontist. Depending on your case, they may ask for photos, a scan or an X-ray.
With the dentist or orthodontist
Fixed braces have small pieces (brackets) and a wire that move the teeth. Clear aligners are transparent trays you take out to eat and clean your teeth, but you must wear them properly and go to your follow-up visits. What suits you depends on your bite, the movement your teeth need, your oral health and whether you can stick to the plan, not on looks alone.
Before braces and throughout
Braces need careful cleaning of your mouth and regular follow-up visits. Before you agree, ask the dentist to explain how to clean and how often you will need to come back.
Before you commit
Ask who will follow your case, what the price includes, how many visits to expect and what happens if there's a problem. Ask for the full price in writing, and check with AMO or your insurer whether anything is reimbursed.
Where to start
Have your mouth and teeth checked, and bring any earlier treatment and tests you have. Ask at your city's health centre whether there is a public route for braces.
Each professional decides what is right for you after seeing you.
