Orthodontics: Straight Teeth with Braces or Aligners

Are your crooked teeth overshadowing your smile? With orthodontic treatment, you can achieve a perfect result aesthetically and functionally by correcting the irregularities in your teeth. Orthodontics is a specialty area of dentistry that aims to align the teeth and jaw correctly. In this treatment, controlled forces are applied to the teeth through fixed brackets (wires) or removable clear aligners placed over the teeth. Over time, these forces move the teeth into their ideal positions. The duration of treatment varies depending on the case, but progress is closely monitored with regular check-ups.

Orthodontic treatment is often thought to be applicable only to children and teenagers; however, it is now also possible for adults. Any patient of any age with good dental and gum health can achieve straighter teeth through brackets or aligners. Correcting crooked teeth is an important investment not only for aesthetic gain but also for oral health. Properly aligned teeth make brushing easier, thus reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Additionally, a proper bite is ensured, balancing the load on the jaw joint and improving chewing function.

• Straighter Smile: Crooked teeth are aligned with treatment; resulting in a more aesthetic and confident smile.

• Healthy Mouth: Straight teeth are easier to clean, which reduces the risk of cavities and gum issues.
