Well-aligned teeth and a balanced jaw matter for more than aesthetics — they support healthy chewing, clear speech and easier oral hygiene. Orthodontic treatment moves teeth and jaws into their ideal positions with a fully personalized plan, for children, teens and adults alike.
Who may need it?
- Crowded teeth or gaps between teeth
- Upper and lower teeth that don't close properly
- Front teeth positioned too far forward or back
- Crossbite, open bite or deep bite
- Impacted teeth and jaw development issues
First exam and digital planning
Treatment starts with a detailed examination of tooth alignment, bite, gums, jaw joint and smile aesthetics. Panoramic and cephalometric x-rays, photos and a digital scan complete the records — 3D scanning replaces conventional impressions, improving both comfort and precision.
Treatment options
- Metal braces — the most common, highly durable option
- Ceramic (aesthetic) braces — tooth-colored, popular with adults
- Clear aligners — removable and discreet for mild to moderate cases
How it progresses
Teeth are moved gradually with controlled forces; at regular check-ups wires are adjusted, elastics changed or new aligners fitted. Duration depends on the severity of crowding, jaw structure, age, method and how well you follow the plan. Consistent brushing, interdental cleaning and avoiding hard, sticky foods keep treatment on track.
Retention
After treatment, retainers — clear retention plates or fixed wires — keep teeth in their new positions. Since teeth naturally tend to drift back, retention is one of the most important stages of the whole journey.
Orthodontics is not just for children — adults can benefit too, as long as teeth and gums are healthy.
