TREATMENT

Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontics is a dental procedure mainly focused on aligning your bite and straightening your teeth. You might need to see an orthodontist if you have crooked, overlapped, twisted, or gapped teeth. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners , and removable retainers. The way your teeth fit together has a significant impact on your oral health. By improving the way of your upper teeth and lower teeth meets, you can reduce the risk for a host of oral health issues, including cavities, gum disease, and excessive wear (erosion).

Misconception about Orthodontics:
Many people think you only start fixing crowded teeth when you're 12 and have all your adult teeth. That's not true. Treatment can begin earlier if there are signs of a problem, irrespective of dentition in your mouth. Sometimes, you might need to remove four permanent teeth, but the treatment itself isn't usually painful. It takes about 1 to 2 years, and after that, you might need to use retention plates to keep things in place.
And here's the good news: fixing your teeth isn't always super expensive! So, don't wait if you notice something's not right with your teeth.
