Orthodontic treatment involves the use of braces or aligners to straighten malaligned teeth and correct jaw imbalance. It is recommended for individuals with crowded or crooked teeth, spacing between teeth, proclined teeth, crossbite, retroclined teeth, or other malocclusions.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the treatment selected. On average, treatment can last anywhere from 6 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline at the initial consultation.
Orthodontic treatment is not limited to children and teenagers. Adults can benefit from orthodontic care as well. It’s never too late to achieve a beautiful and healthy smile with modern orthodontic solutions.
While there may be some initial discomfort or soreness when braces or aligners are first placed or adjusted, it is usually temporary and well-tolerated. Our orthodontist will provide tips to manage any discomfort and ensure a smooth treatment experience.
