Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatments effectively align teeth, not only enhancing smiles by straightening teeth but also contributing to restoring functionality in the teeth, jaw, and bite.
The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children undergo an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, regardless of the number of erupted teeth. This early assessment enables orthodontists to anticipate potential structural changes as children grow. Addressing such changes with braces at an early stage not only preserves a child's smile but also helps prevent future dental issues. Furthermore, we provide orthodontic solutions tailored for adults.
Types of Orthodontics
Traditional Metal Braces
This type of braces is the most frequently used and highly effective in addressing smile irregularities.
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Transparent in appearance and removable, these braces can match the effectiveness of traditional metal braces. They provide the benefit of effortless removal and simple maintenance, including brushing and flossing.
How Orthodontics Help in Oral Health?

Orthodontic treatment aligns teeth and jaws, improving bite functionality and reducing the risk of tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and TMJ disorders.
Avoids Dental Problems
Orthodontics aids in preventing dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and uneven wear caused by misaligned teeth by addressing issues related to overcrowding or spacing.

Straightened teeth make oral hygiene maintenance easier, decreasing the chances of plaque accumulation, cavities, and gum inflammation.
