What Can Orthodontics Treat?

Orthodontic care can help address a variety of dental issues, including:

• Impacted teeth: When an adult tooth doesn’t fully erupt through the gum or bone.

• Asymmetrical teeth: Upper and lower teeth don’t align when the mouth is closed.

• Deep bite (overbite): Upper teeth overlap the lower teeth too much when clenched.

• Reverse bite: Upper teeth bite behind the lower teeth.

• Open bite: A gap remains between upper and lower teeth when the mouth is closed.

• Underbite: Lower teeth sit forward of the upper teeth.

• Crossbite: One or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.

• Spacing: Gaps between teeth, often due to missing teeth or small tooth size.

• Crowding: Not enough space in the jaw for all teeth to align properly.

Types of Orthodontic Treatment We Offer

Once your orthodontist evaluates your condition, a customized treatment plan will be developed. Here are the most common options:

Braces

Modern braces are more comfortable and discreet than ever before. We offer:

• Metal Braces – Durable and cost-effective

• Clear Braces – Tooth-coloured brackets for a more natural look

• Self-Ligating Braces – Reduced friction and fewer visits

Braces can be either fixed or removable, depending on your case and comfort.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces, offering a nearly invisible, removable way to straighten teeth. It’s ideal for mild to moderate misalignment and offers:

• Aesthetic appeal

• Greater comfort

• Easier oral hygiene

While Invisalign is typically more expensive, it provides a high level of convenience and effectiveness.

Retainers

Retainers are used at the final stage of orthodontic treatment to hold your teeth in place after realignment. They can be:

• Fixed (bonded to the teeth)

• Removable (worn part-time or at night)

Wearing a retainer as prescribed helps maintain your results for life.

Tooth Removal

In some cases, tooth extraction may be required to make room for proper alignment. This is especially common in cases of severe crowding or impacted teeth. Your orthodontist will only recommend extraction when necessary for optimal results.
