Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or aligning the overlapping and misaligned or crooked teeth to improve the appearance and functionality of the teeth. The clinical aim of orthodontic treatment is to correct malocclusion or a bad bite.

By straightening your teeth, not only your bite is corrected, but also the overall facial aesthetics will be enhanced. Malocclusions or misaligned bites may create possible consequences such as improper speech, chipped or cracked tooth, bacterial infections, irregularities in chewing and biting functions, and risk of gum disease, TMJ disorder, and tooth decay.

They work by applying controlled pressure on the teeth over a period of time, gradually move the teeth to the desired position.

Orthodontic Treatment is recommended for the correction of misaligned teeth, overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and bite irregularities such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites.

Orthodontic treatments are not only about achieving a more aligned smile; they also play a crucial role in improving oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.

Various types of orthodontic treatments are available to suit all ages, which include traditional braces (Metal, Ceramic & Lingual) & modern Clear Aligners, the latest technique that is functionally invisible.

Also known as Orthodontic Braces, are devices used to straighten and align misaligned or crooked teeth. They work by applying controlled pressure on the teeth over a period of time, gradually shifting them into more optimal positions. Braces consist of brackets that are affixed to the teeth and connected by archwires. The tension created by the wires guides the teeth into their desired alignment.

There are several types of braces for different orthodontic needs. Traditional metal braces consist of metal brackets and wires that work together to gradually align teeth. Ceramic braces offer a less noticeable option as the brackets are tooth-colored, blending in with the teeth. Lingual braces are placed on the inner surface of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside.

Clear aligners like Invisalign provide a removable and nearly invisible orthodontic treatment. These aligners are custom-made to gradually shift teeth into place. There are more convenient and can be removed while drinking, eating, and cleaning of teeth.
