What the treatment is
Orthodontic treatment uses fixed braces or removable clear aligners to move teeth gradually into better alignment, which can also improve how the upper and lower teeth meet.
Who may need it
It is considered for crowded, spaced, or irregular teeth and for certain bite concerns. The choice between braces and aligners depends on the individual orthodontic assessment, not on preference alone.
General overview
Assessment includes an examination, radiographs, and impressions or a digital scan. Appliances are then fitted or supplied, with periodic review visits for adjustments and progress checks.
What to expect
Teeth move slowly, so treatment time is measured in months. Careful cleaning, following wear instructions for aligners, and using retainers afterwards help maintain the result.
