Get Your Perfect Smile With Advanced Orthodontics

We offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic solutions including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners. Each treatment option is designed to address specific dental alignment issues while considering factors like treatment duration, visibility, and comfort. Our orthodontists will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual needs and treatment goals.

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, including being virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and typically more comfortable. However, they may not be suitable for all types of orthodontic cases, particularly complex bite issues. Traditional braces, while more visible, can handle a wider range of dental alignment problems and often provide more precise control over tooth movement.

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on several factors, including the complexity of your case, the type of treatment chosen, and your compliance with treatment guidelines. On average, most orthodontic treatments take between 12 to 24 months. Regular follow-up appointments and proper care of your orthodontic appliances are crucial for achieving optimal results within the estimated timeframe.

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment. We recommend brushing after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily with special orthodontic flossers, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash. For clear aligner users, it's important to clean the aligners regularly and remove them while eating. Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings are also essential to prevent plaque buildup and maintain healthy gums.

During orthodontic treatment, it's important to avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods that could damage your braces or aligners. This includes hard candies, chewing gum, popcorn, nuts, and hard fruits like apples (unless cut into small pieces). For clear aligner users, it's recommended to remove the aligners while eating and drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage.

The process begins with a comprehensive orthodontic consultation where we'll examine your teeth, take digital scans or impressions, and discuss your treatment goals. Based on this evaluation, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan and explain the various options available. Once you've chosen your preferred treatment method, we'll schedule the necessary appointments for fitting your braces or aligners and provide detailed instructions for care and maintenance.

Regular follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring your progress and making necessary adjustments. For traditional braces, visits are typically scheduled every 4-6 weeks. Clear aligner patients usually visit every 6-8 weeks to receive new sets of aligners and ensure treatment is progressing as planned. These appointments allow us to track your progress, make any necessary adjustments, and address any concerns you may have.

After completing your orthodontic treatment, we'll provide you with retainers to maintain your new smile. Retainers are crucial for preventing teeth from shifting back to their original positions. Initially, you'll need to wear your retainers full-time, and then gradually transition to nighttime wear only. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your retention and ensure long-term stability of your results.
