Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment focuses on correcting irregularities of the teeth and jaws, such as misalignment, crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites. It plays a crucial role in improving not only the appearance of a smile but also overall oral health and function. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which reduces the risk of decay and gum disease.

Traditional orthodontic treatment involves the use of metal braces—brackets bonded to the teeth and connected with wires—that gradually move the teeth into their correct positions. Today, there are more aesthetic options available, such as ceramic braces and clear aligners (like Invisalign), which offer a more discreet treatment experience, especially for adults and teens.

The duration of orthodontic treatment typically ranges from several months to a few years, depending on the complexity of the case. Regular visits to the orthodontist are necessary to monitor progress and make adjustments. Retainers are usually prescribed after treatment to maintain the results.
