Achieve a Confident, Healthy Smile

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. While many seek treatment for a more attractive smile, orthodontic care also improves speech, chewing, and breathing—enhancing your overall oral health.

Why Choose Orthodontic Treatment?

Orthodontic care addresses issues like:

  • • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • • Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
  • • Gaps or uneven spacing
  • • Jaw misalignment and improper bites

These treatments can boost your confidence and quality of life by creating a beautiful, functional smile.

Our Orthodontic Treatment Options

1. Preventive Orthodontics

Focused on early intervention to stop problems from worsening, preventive treatments include:

  • Habit-Breaking Appliances: Help stop habits like thumb-sucking.
  • Space Maintainers: Preserve space for adult teeth if baby teeth are lost early.
  • Growth Modification Appliances: Correct swallowing patterns and guide jaw growth.

2. Interceptive Orthodontics

Aimed at managing developing malocclusions during the mixed dentition phase (when both baby and permanent teeth are present).

  • Functional Appliances & Growth Modification Devices: Guide jaw growth and prevent complex issues.
  • Early Correction: Treats crossbites, misalignments, and jaw discrepancies.

3. Corrective Orthodontics

Performed after all permanent teeth have erupted (excluding wisdom teeth).

  • Traditional Braces: Fixed braces with metal or tooth-colored ceramic brackets to align teeth.
  • Orthognathic Surgery: In severe cases, surgery is combined with braces to correct jaw irregularities.

4. Retention Phase

Once active treatment is complete, retainers (fixed or removable) are used to maintain results. This phase is crucial to prevent relapse and preserve your new smile.


Orthodontic Braces & Appliances

Orthodontic braces apply gentle, continuous pressure to gradually shift teeth into place. Today’s braces are more discreet and comfortable, including:

  • • Tooth-Colored Braces: Ceramic brackets and wires blend with your teeth for a subtle look.
  • • Invisible Braces (Lingual Braces): ): Hidden behind the teeth for a nearly invisible appearance.

Periodic adjustments are necessary throughout treatment, which typically lasts 18 to 24 months. Retainers are then used to ensure long-lasting results.
