Your Options for a Healthier Smile
Orthodontic care offers more than just straighter teeth—it enhances oral health, improves facial balance, and helps create a confident, lasting smile.
- Overbite: Upper teeth extend too far over the lower teeth, affecting bite balance.
- Spacing: Noticeable gaps or uneven spaces between teeth.
- Underbite: Lower teeth extend past the upper teeth, causing jaw misalignment.
- Crowding: Teeth are tightly packed, often overlapping and harder to clean.
- Crossbite: Upper and lower teeth don’t align properly, leading to bite discomfort.

Orthodontic Treatment Options
Traditional Braces
Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and less noticeable than ever before. Designed for efficiency, they provide reliable results while being easier to clean and wear, making them a trusted choice for straightening teeth.
Clear Brackets
For those who want the effectiveness of traditional braces with a more subtle look, clear brackets blend with your teeth for a discreet alternative. Popular among adults, they offer a less visible way to achieve a well-aligned smile.
Clear Aligners - Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made, nearly invisible aligners to gradually shift teeth into place. Removable and convenient, they allow you to eat, brush, and floss as usual while discreetly working to straighten your smile.
Lingual Braces
For the ultimate in discretion, lingual braces are placed on the back of your teeth, keeping them completely hidden. Ideal for professionals, athletes, or musicians, they offer effective treatment without compromising aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, crowding, or noticeable gaps, orthodontic care may be beneficial. These issues can affect both your smile’s appearance and your oral health. A consultation with an orthodontist is the best way to determine if treatment is right for you.
Orthodontic treatment is effective at any age, from children to adults. While early evaluation around age 7 helps detect potential issues, treatment remains highly beneficial later in life. In fact, about one in five orthodontic patients is over 21, proving it’s never too late to achieve a healthier, straighter smile.
Treatment duration varies based on individual needs, the type of appliance used, and patient compliance. On average, traditional braces are worn for 18 to 24 months, but the timeline may be shorter or longer depending on the complexity of the case and adherence to orthodontic guidelines.
Yes! Athletes should wear a mouthguard to protect their braces and mouth from impact. Musicians, especially those playing wind or brass instruments, may need a short adjustment period, but most adapt quickly and continue playing without major difficulties.
Braces use metal or ceramic brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth and are fixed in place for continuous correction. They are highly effective for a wide range of orthodontic issues. In contrast, Invisalign uses removable, nearly invisible aligners, offering a more discreet and flexible alternative while still straightening teeth effectively.
Clear aligners, like Invisalign, are nearly invisible, custom-made trays that gradually move teeth. They are removable, making eating, brushing, and flossing easier. While more discreet, clear aligners may not be suitable for complex cases. Your orthodontist will assess your needs to determine the best option for you.
