Orthodontics

Orthodontics or “using Braces” is the field of Dentistry that deals with diagnosing and analyzing your teeth and jaws, in order to straighten teeth and improve your smile. It is one of the most conservative and natural ways of improving the appearance, health and function of your teeth. Crooked teeth and crowded jaws is a common problem nowadays and seems to be more of a concern as we keep our teeth longer and become more aware of our appearance.

Orthodontic treatment can involve the use of:

• Removable plates
• Headgear and Functional appliances
• Brackets (metal or ceramic) and wires
• Fixed plates
• Clear plastic “invisible” aligners

Orthodontics is suitable for people of all ages, from 8 years old to 80!!! Treatment should take about 18-24 months, but could be shorter or longer depending on the case and the patient’s age.
