WHAT IS ORTHODONTICS?
Orthodontics focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve your smile's appearance and functionality. With treatments like braces, clear aligners, and retainers, orthodontics can help:
Straighten crooked or crowded teeth
Correct bite issues like overbite, underbite, or crossbite
Improve overall jaw alignment
Enhance long-term oral health

Clear Aligners: Advantages
​
-
Discreet Appearance: Clear aligner trays are less noticeable and provide a more subtle look compared to traditional braces.
​
-
Improved Oral Hygiene: Since aligners are removable, it's easier to brush and floss your teeth, maintaining better oral health.
​
-
Convenient Check-Ups: Dental check-up appointments are typically needed only every 2-3 months, unlike traditional braces, which often require monthly visits.
Braces: Advantages
​
-
Effective for Complex Cases: Braces are highly effective at treating more severe or complex orthodontic issues, such as significant misalignments or bite problems.
​
-
No User Compliance Needed: Since braces are fixed to your teeth, they work continuously without requiring the wearer to remember to put them on, unlike removable aligners.
​
-
Customizable Options: Modern braces come in various types, including ceramic and lingual options, allowing for a more personalized look and feel.
