Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. This field primarily deals with correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to enhance both function and appearance. Orthodontic treatments, including braces and aligners, help in achieving a straighter smile, improving bite alignment, and boosting overall oral health.

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers
It’s recommended that children have their first orthodontic screening by age 7. Early evaluations can detect potential problems and allow for timely treatment, even if braces aren’t needed right away.
Yes, orthodontic treatment is not just for children and teens. Many adults choose to improve their smile and dental health with braces or clear aligners. Age is not a barrier to achieving a straighter smile.
We offer various types of braces, including traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (which are less noticeable), and clear aligners like Invisalign. Each option has its benefits, and we’ll help you choose the one that best suits your needs.
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most treatments last between 12 to 24 months. During your consultation, we’ll provide a personalized treatment plan with a more specific timeline
You may experience some discomfort, especially after adjustments or when starting with new aligners. This is typically mild and temporary. Over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods can help ease any soreness.
