Braces & Aligners

When Are Braces & Aligners Recommended?

Orthodontic treatment may be recommended for patients with crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, crooked teeth, bite irregularities or other dental alignment concerns.

The appropriate treatment option depends on factors such as the severity of the alignment issue, bite condition, age, oral health and individual treatment goals.

A detailed dental and orthodontic assessment is important before selecting braces, clear aligners or another suitable treatment approach.

Benefits of Braces & Aligners

Orthodontic treatment can provide several functional and aesthetic benefits, including:

• Helps improve the alignment of crooked or crowded teeth.

• Can help close suitable spaces between teeth.

• Can improve certain bite-related concerns.

• Helps create a more balanced and attractive smile.

• Properly aligned teeth may be easier to maintain with regular oral hygiene.

• Can improve confidence in your smile.

Braces & Aligners Treatment Procedure

Treatment begins with a detailed examination of your teeth, gums and bite. Your dentist evaluates the alignment concerns and discusses the most appropriate orthodontic treatment options.

For braces, brackets are placed on the teeth and connected with orthodontic wires that are adjusted periodically to guide tooth movement.

For clear aligners, a series of customised trays may be created to gradually move the teeth. The aligners are generally changed according to the treatment plan and require regular follow-up appointments.

Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, tooth movement required and individual response to treatment.

Care During Braces & Aligners Treatment

Maintaining good oral hygiene is especially important during orthodontic treatment. Brush carefully around brackets and wires if you have braces and clean between your teeth regularly.

If you use clear aligners, wear them according to your dentist's instructions, remove them while eating when advised and clean them properly before placing them back.

Regular follow-up appointments are important to monitor tooth movement and make necessary adjustments throughout treatment.
