Orthodontics & Braces

Transform your smile with expertly planned, precision-guided orthodontic treatments.

Introduction

What is Braces Treatment?

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Braces treatment is the most common orthodontic method used to straighten crooked teeth, align the jaw, and correct an improper bite.

A perfectly aligned smile isn't just about aesthetics; it is essential for long-term oral health. Crooked and crowded teeth are difficult to clean, making them highly susceptible to decay and gum disease. By applying gentle, continuous pressure over time, braces slowly move teeth into their ideal positions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The process of placing the brackets on your teeth does not hurt at all. However, you will likely experience some soreness and tenderness for the first few days after placement and after each adjustment visit as your teeth begin to move. This can easily be managed with over-the-counter painkillers and soft foods.

It depends entirely on your specific case. If you have severe crowding and your jaw is too small to accommodate all your teeth properly aligned, the orthodontist may recommend extracting premolars to create space. This will be determined during your initial X-ray assessment.
