What we correct

Orthodontic treatment is about much more than just a straighter smile. Misaligned teeth and jaws can lead to functional issues such as difficulty chewing, excessive tooth wear, speech challenges, and even headaches or jaw pain. Crowded or gapped teeth are also harder to keep clean, raising the risk of decay and gum disease. By correcting these problems, we not only create confident smiles but also support long-term oral and overall health. Ultimately, orthodontics protects teeth, balances bite forces, and enhances facial harmony — helping patients feel better, function better, and smile more freely.

Crooked or crowded teeth

When teeth don’t have enough space in the jaw, they overlap, twist, or push each other out of alignment. This not only affects appearance but also makes brushing and flossing difficult, which increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontic treatment gently repositions the teeth, creating balance and improving oral health.

Gaps and spacing issues

Excess spacing between teeth can be due to missing teeth, undersized teeth, or jaw size differences. While some may view gaps as a cosmetic concern, they can also lead to shifting, bite imbalance, or gum problems. Orthodontics helps close spaces or redistribute them appropriately for long-term stability.

Overbite, underbite, and crossbite

Bite discrepancies happen when the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly. An overbite occurs when the top teeth sit too far forward, while an underbite means the lower jaw extends past the upper. A crossbite happens when some upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth. Correcting these improves chewing function, jaw balance, and aesthetics.

Open bite or deep bite

An open bite means the front teeth don’t touch when the back teeth are together, often caused by habits like thumb sucking or tongue thrusting. A deep bite is when the upper teeth excessively overlap the lower teeth, sometimes damaging gums and teeth. Orthodontic care addresses both, improving function, appearance, and long-term dental health.

Jaw deviations requiring orthodontic anchorage

In some cases, the issue lies in jaw growth rather than tooth position alone. Deviations in jaw alignment can cause facial asymmetry, speech problems, and bite imbalance. Using orthodontic anchorage devices, braces, or in some cases surgical collaboration, we can guide jaws into more harmonious positions for improved function and aesthetics.

Types of treatment

  • Clear aligners

    Clear aligners are a modern alternative to braces, using a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays to gradually shift teeth into place. They are removable, comfortable, and allow you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions. Aligners are best for mild to moderate misalignments and are a popular choice for patients who want a flexible and discreet treatment option.

  • Traditional metal braces

    Metal braces are the most common and reliable orthodontic option. Using high-grade stainless steel brackets and wires, they apply consistent pressure to guide teeth into the correct position. Modern metal braces are smaller and more comfortable than in the past, making them an effective choice for children, teens, and adults with a wide range of orthodontic needs.

  • Ceramic braces

    Ceramic braces work the same way as traditional metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with your natural teeth. This makes them a more discreet option while still providing the strength and precision of fixed orthodontics. They’re popular with older teens and adults who want effective treatment without the noticeable look of metal brackets.

How it works (process)

  1. Consultation & diagnostics — x-rays, cephalometric analysis, models

  2. Treatment plan discussion — goals, duration, trade-offs

  3. Appliance placement — bonding brackets, placing wires or other devices

  4. Adjustment visits — periodic adjustments, monitoring

  5. Retention / aftercare — ensure stable result
