Our Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve a person's smile, oral health, and overall facial aesthetics. The most common methods of orthodontic treatment include braces and aligners (such as clear aligners).
Traditional braces consist of metal brackets that are attached to the teeth and connected with wires. Our orthodontist adjusts the wires regularly to gradually shift the teeth into their desired positions. Braces are suitable for treating various types of dental misalignment, including crowded teeth, gaps, and bite issues (underbite, overbite, crossbite).
Clear aligners, also known as invisible aligners or clear braces, are a more discreet alternative to traditional braces. They are transparent, custom-made plastic trays that fit over the teeth and gradually move them into alignment. Clear aligners such as Invisalign are removable, making them convenient for eating, brushing, and flossing. They are typically recommended for milder cases of misalignment.
The process of orthodontic treatment typically involves the following steps:
During the initial consultation, the orthodontist conducts a thorough examination of the teeth, evaluates any misalignment issues, and discusses treatment options.
Based on the examination results, Our orthodontist creates a personalized treatment plan. This includes determining the type of orthodontic appliance (braces or aligners), estimated treatment duration, and cost.
For braces, the orthodontist attaches the brackets to the teeth and connects them with wires. For clear aligners, the patient is provided with a series of aligner trays that are custom-made for their teeth.
With traditional braces, the orthodontist schedules regular visits to adjust the wires and monitor progress. In the case of clear aligners, the patient progresses through a series of aligners, usually changing them every two weeks.
Throughout the treatment process, the orthodontist monitors the patient's progress and ensures that the teeth are moving properly. They may provide instructions for oral hygiene routines, diet modifications, and proper wear and care of braces or aligners.
After the active phase of treatment is complete, the patient may be provided with retainers. These retainers help maintain the newly aligned teeth and prevent them from shifting back to their original positions.
Orthodontic treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case and the desired results. It can range from a few months to several years. Regular orthodontic visits are important to ensure the treatment progresses properly and to address any issues that may arise.
Orthodontic treatment can significantly improve the alignment and overall appearance of the teeth, as well as correct bite issues, leading to better oral health and enhanced self-confidence. It is essential to consult with an orthodontist to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.
