Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment Options
Invisalign and Clear Aligners
For the most virtually invisible approach, our Invisalign or Clear Correct are treatments provides custom-made trays that gently shift teeth into the desired position. These removable aligners are a flexible and comfortable choice for people who prefer straightening teeth without the use of metal.
Traditional Metal Braces
For many patients with orthodontics, these are the tried-and-true remedy. Standard metal or clear braces, which use elastic bands and sturdy metal parts to realign and straighten crooked teeth, are still quite popular and moderately priced. No matter how mild or complex the orthodontic issue, wearing braces can handle it all.

Other Orthodontic Treatments
- Plates (to correct the bite before braces): for example, Expansion plates, Twin blocks, and Mara Appliance.
- Orthodontics for Children: Oral health and tooth alignment are always important for children, whether in their teens or primary years. It is recommended that they come for a check-up every six months or yearly. During these checks, the dentist may recommend a Panoramic X-ray to check for the existence of permanent teeth and forecast future alignment issues.
- Baby teeth function to keep space for the permanent teeth. There is a misconception that if it is a baby tooth, it is not important. Sometimes, when kids lose baby teeth at an earlier age, it affects the bite when permanent teeth are out.
Do I Need Orthodontics?
Yes, if you experience any of the following:
An overbite occurs when upper teeth protrude significantly over lower teeth. This can lead to:
- Difficulty biting and chewing
- Increased risk of dental trauma to front teeth
- Jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- Speech impediments
An underbite is when lower teeth extend beyond upper teeth, potentially causing:
- Uneven tooth wear
- Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds
- Facial imbalance
- Challenges with biting and chewing food properly
When the front teeth of a person bite apart, it can lead to:
- Issues with eating and biting food
- Lisping or other speech issues
- Tongue thrusting, leading to further dental problems
- Higher risk of dental decay as a result of poor cleaning
A crossbite occurs when upper and lower jaws are misaligned, potentially leading to:
- Asymmetrical jaw growth
- Uneven tooth wear
- Difficulty in biting and chewing
- Increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay
Crowded teeth are overlapped or crooked due to lack of space, which can cause:
- Difficulty in properly cleaning teeth, increasing risk of decay and gum disease
- Uneven wear on tooth enamel
- Aesthetic concerns affecting self-confidence
- Increased risk of dental injuries
- Food getting stuck between teeth, increasing the risk of decay
- Gum problems due to lack of protection from teeth
- Self-consciousness about appearance
- Potential speech issues

Caring for Braces
- The metal braces temporarily become part of your teeth, so brushing them after eating helps remove food particles from sticking to them.
- Using hard-bristled toothbrushes because they’re metal is not okay – instead, use soft-bristled ones and fluoride toothpaste is possible.
- Plaque accumulates between your braces and crooked teeth. Use a floss threader or water flosser to remove it daily.
- Eat less hard, chewy, or sticky food because it can damage your braces.
- Put tooth wax on any uncomfortable wires or brackets that protrude.
Caring for Teeth with Braces
- For changes to your fixed braces, schedule routine orthodontic sessions.
- Your orthodontist will schedule dental appointments for checkups and adjustments, so make sure to take advantage of it.
- It is also a good practice to ensure that you observe good oral hygiene not just throughout your orthodontic journey, but even after the treatment to avoid gum recession, plaque accumulation, and dental issues.
Caring for Clear Aligners
- Every time you consume anything other than water, remove your aligners.
- Use a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water daily to thoroughly clean your aligners.
- To prevent breaking or losing your aligners, store them in their case when not in use.
- Put on your aligners for the recommended 20–22 hours each day to get the best treatment and fastest outcomes possible.
