Advanced Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment corrects the position of teeth and the way the jaws meet — addressing crowding, spacing, protruding front teeth, crossbites and deep bites.

Options available

Conventional metal braces, ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces, and clear aligners for suitable cases. The right option depends on the complexity of the correction and your preference on appearance.

It is not only cosmetic

Misaligned teeth are harder to clean and wear unevenly, which contributes to decay, gum disease and jaw joint strain over time. Where a bite problem stems from jaw position rather than tooth position, orthodontics may be combined with corrective jaw surgery — both planned in-house.

You may need this if

Crowded, overlapping or crooked teeth
Gaps, or front teeth that protrude
Upper and lower teeth that do not meet properly
Teeth wearing unevenly because of the bite

What treatment involves

1

Records and diagnosis

X-rays, photographs and models establish whether the problem is the teeth, the jaws, or both — that distinction changes the entire plan.

2

Choosing the appliance

Metal braces, ceramic braces or clear aligners, based on the complexity of the correction and your preference.

3

Active treatment

Regular adjustments gradually move the teeth. Most cases run twelve to twenty-four months.

4

Retention

Retainers hold the result. Teeth move for life, so this stage is not optional.

Why it is worth doing

Straighter, even teeth Correct crowding, gaps and protruding front teeth.

Easier to keep clean Aligned teeth trap less plaque, lowering decay and gum disease risk.

A more balanced bite Reduces uneven wear and strain on the jaw joints.

Options that suit you Metal, ceramic or clear aligners depending on your case and preference.

Aftercare

Clean thoroughly around brackets — decay around braces is the main risk
Avoid very hard and sticky food that breaks brackets
Wear retainers exactly as instructed, or the teeth will drift back
