Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a popular dental treatment that improves tooth and jaw alignment, helping people to chew and speak better and to be able to show off a more attractive smile. A wide range of treatments are available tailor-made to patient requirements.

Types of orthodontic treatments

• Traditional metal braces: Durable, efficient, and ideal for complex dental issues.
• Ceramic braces: A more aesthetic choice, as the brackets resemble teeth.
• Lingual braces: Fixed to the back, or lingual, side of your teeth, making them almost invisible.
• Transparent plastic aligners (e.g. Invisalign): Removable and almost invisible, ideal for adults.

Benefits of orthodontic treatments

• Improve the function and aesthetics of your teeth.
• Help maintain proper gum and teeth health by making them more orderly.
• Improve self-confidence by making your smile more beautiful.

Treatment process

First a diagnosis is set up, which includes examining the oral cavity and taking X-ray scans. Then, the right braces must be chosen and affixed. The treatment usually takes between 1 or 3 years, with regular dental check-ups during this period.
