Orthodontic Treatment & Braces

Routine Orthodontics With Braces

Orthodontics is the field of dentistry focused on straightening teeth and correcting bite alignment.

Braces use brackets and wires to gently move the teeth into their ideal position. They are highly effective for both simple and complex orthodontic cases.

Traditionally, children were assessed for orthodontics around age 10, once their baby teeth had fallen out. However, development varies widely, some children may require early intervention as young as age 7–8.

Early assessment allows us to identify crowding, jaw development issues, and bite concerns sooner.

We offer modern, low-profile braces that are more comfortable and efficient than ever before.

How Braces Work

1

Consultation & Records

Photos, X-rays, and digital scans are taken to assess your bite.

2

Treatment Planning

A custom wire and bracket system is designed based on your needs.

3

Braces Placement

Brackets are bonded to the teeth, and the wire is attached.

4

Adjustment Appointments

Every 4–8 weeks, your dentist tightens or replaces the wire to continue movement.

5

Completion & Retainers

After achieving the desired result, retainers are worn to maintain the new smile.
