What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is designed to correct the positioning and alignment of teeth by gradually guiding them into their optimal positions. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, can enhance chewing efficiency and speech, and may help reduce the risk of future oral health issues. Modern orthodontics offers a variety of effective treatment options suitable for both children and adults.
How Do Braces Work?
Braces work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to the teeth over time, gradually moving them through the jawbone into their desired positions. Throughout treatment, regular adjustment appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure tooth movement remains safe, effective, and aligned with your treatment goals.
Types of Orthodontic Treatment
Invisalign® & Clear Aligners
Virtually invisible removable aligners gradually straighten teeth comfortably, allowing easier eating, brushing, and flossing throughout treatment.
Fixed Braces
Traditional fixed braces remain one of the most effective solutions for correcting complex alignment and bite issues for predictable, and long-lasting results.
Cosmetic Teeth Straightening
Enhance the appearance of the front teeth, it focuses on creating a more attractive and confident smile, often within a shorter treatment timeframe.
Orthodontic Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
Your orthodontist dentist will examine your teeth, take digital scans, photographs, and X-rays if needed, and discuss the most suitable treatment options for your smile.
Fitting Your Braces
During your appointment, small brackets are bonded to the surface of your teeth and connected with a thin orthodontic wire. The procedure is painless and typically takes one to two hours.
Adjusting to Braces
You may experience mild discomfort for a few days after your braces are fitted. Regular appointments allow your orthodontist to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments throughout treatment.
Braces Removal and Retainers
Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, your braces are removed. You’ll then be provided with a retainer to help maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back over time.
