Orthodontics is a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws, also known as malocclusions. Orthodontic treatment aims to improve both the functionality of the oral cavity and the aesthetic appearance of the smile. Orthodontists, highly trained dental professionals, employ various modalities and appliances to address a wide range of dental irregularities.

Each individual patient’s orthodontic needs are unique, Whether you require comprehensive treatment, early supervision, a replacement retainer, general information or anything in between, we strive to provide you with exceptional care.

Traditional Braces:

Traditional braces consist of metal brackets attached to the teeth, connected by wires and secured with elastic bands. This classic orthodontic approach applies controlled pressure to gradually shift teeth into their correct positions. Modern versions of traditional braces are more comfortable and visually appealing than their predecessors.

Gold Braces:

An alternative to traditional metal braces involves applying a layer of gold coating onto stainless steel braces. Gold braces provide a distinct cosmetic choice while ensuring effective results. The expense associated with gold-coated braces is comparable to that of various clear or invisible brace options.

Ceramic Braces:

Ceramic braces function similarly to traditional metal braces but use tooth-colored or clear brackets, blending more seamlessly with the natural color of teeth. This makes them a popular choice for those who desire a less noticeable orthodontic option.

Invisible (Clear) Orthodontic Appliances – Invisalign®

Clear aligners, such as those popularized by brands like Invisalign, have gained widespread popularity for their discreet and removable nature. These custom-made, transparent trays are worn over the teeth and gradually move them into alignment. Clear aligners offer a more aesthetically pleasing option for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment without the visibility of traditional braces.

Lingual Braces:

Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces but with a key difference—they are placed on the inner surfaces of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. This option is particularly appealing to individuals who prefer a discreet orthodontic solution without compromising on the effectiveness of treatment.

Orthodontic treatment begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays and impressions, to develop a customized treatment plan. The choice of modality depends on factors such as the type and severity of the malocclusion, patient preferences, and lifestyle considerations. Regular follow-up appointments are essential to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. The diverse range of orthodontic modalities ensures that individuals can choose an option that aligns with their treatment goals and personal preferences.
