Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is planned with a personalised approach that centres on a healthy, balanced smile, predictable results and patient safety.

Overview

Orthodontic treatment is planned around your medical condition and treatment goals.

Treatment follows a personalised approach aimed at a healthy, balanced smile. At the consultation, your specialist draws up a realistic treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Each stage is followed up with regular check-ups so that long-term results stay stable and safe.

What Is Orthodontics (Braces Treatment)?

Braces treatment is an orthodontic method that moves the teeth and jaws into the correct position. Orthodontics aligns the teeth, balances the relationship between the jaws, and considers facial aesthetics and function together.

Braces are most often used to straighten crooked teeth. They are also used in the following situations:

How Is Braces Treatment Carried Out?

Braces apply continuous, gentle pressure to the teeth so that they gradually move into the desired position. Too much force can damage the teeth and surrounding tissue.

This is done with brackets bonded to the teeth and wires running through them. The brackets work around the clock to guide tooth movement.

The wires apply controlled force so that the teeth move. Over time, the teeth reach their ideal positions.

The aim of orthodontic treatment is to move the teeth through the bone in a controlled way. This is not fast: teeth move about 1–2 mm a month on average.

In some cases, elastic bands may be used during treatment to help guide the teeth into the right position.

Modern orthodontic methods can achieve effective results with fewer appointments. Metal, ceramic and clear bracket options are also available.

Who Is Orthodontics Suitable For?

Orthodontic treatment is planned to correct crowding, gaps, bite problems and jaw misalignment. Suitability is decided by the orthodontist after assessing tooth and gum health, jaw analysis and X-rays.
