Orthodontics

Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized area of dentistry devoted to fixing misalignment in teeth and/or jaws.  This may be done with braces, clear aligners, or other orthodontic appliances which help improve function and beauty.  To begin the orthodontic process, a thorough examination is performed first and a custom orthodontic appliance is fabricated to gently and safely move the teeth and jaws into proper position over the length of treatment. The aims of orthodontics are to improve bite alignment, oral health, and facial smile esthetic while keeping the patient as comfortable as possible. Patients are expected to attend routine appointments with their orthodontist to monitor and evaluate themselves on the progress of their orthodontic treatment, where the orthodontist is also going to monitor and evaluate the progress to ensure the treatment is properly conducted to achieve the attendees with the treatment results.

Frequently Asked
Questions

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a dental specialty focused on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve function, appearance, and oral health. Common treatments include braces and clear aligners (e.g., Invisalign) to straighten teeth and fix bite issues.

Orthodontic treatment is recommended for people with crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, or bite problems like overbite, underbite, or crossbite. Both children and adults can benefit, depending on their dental health and needs.

Treatment duration varies based on the severity of misalignment and the type of treatment. Most cases take 6 months to 2 years. Clear aligners may be faster for mild cases, while complex cases with braces may take longer.

You may experience mild discomfort or pressure after getting braces adjusted or switching to a new aligner tray. This usually subsides within a few days. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help, and your orthodontist will provide tips to manage discomfort.

Yes, adults can get orthodontic treatment. Clear aligners and ceramic braces are popular among adults for their discreet appearance. Healthy teeth and gums are key, regardless of age, and your orthodontist will assess your suitability.
