Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of dental and facial irregularities occurring from :
- a bad bite or malocclusion
- Missing or extra teeth
- Misaligned, crooked, or crowded teeth
- An overbite or underbite
- Misaligned or incorrect jaw positions
A great part of these are rectified using braces, which are made from wires and springs attached to tiny metal plates or a plastic mold. The brace applies gentle force to the teeth and encourages them to adopt a different alignment. Braces will improve the function and general appearance of the teeth.
Invisalign is also available for qualified patients.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that can be used to achieve a more beautiful smile by straightening the teeth out without the use of metal braces. Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear braces that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position over time. Patients with overbite, cross-bite, or underbite can enjoy Invisalign treatments.
Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth. Your orthodontist, using the iTero Element®️ scanner from Invisalign will take a quick and accurate 3D digital scan of your teeth and prepare a custom treatment just for you.
Results can be achieved in as little as 6 months. Invisalign clear aligners are more comfortable and less painful than braces.
