Dental Braces Treatment
What Are Braces?
Dental braces are orthodontic devices used to align and straighten teeth, correct bite issues, and improve facial aesthetics. They are made up of brackets, wires, and bands that apply gentle pressure over time to shift teeth into their ideal position.
Braces not only improve the appearance of your smile but also enhance oral function, chewing efficiency, and overall dental health.
Why Are Braces Needed?
While braces are often chosen for cosmetic improvements, they also correct a wide range of functional issues, including:
Improper bites (overbite, underbite, crossbite)
Gaps between teeth
Jaw alignment issues
Teeth crowding due to insufficient space
Conditions caused by habits like thumb sucking or mouth breathing
Early orthodontic intervention can prevent serious problems later in life and reduce the need for surgery.
When is the Right Time to Get Braces?
Braces can be started as early as age 10, depending on dental development. However, there’s no age limit — adults of all ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.
With various options available, we tailor the treatment based on your dental needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
Types of Braces We Offer
1. Metal Conventional Braces
Traditional metal braces are durable, efficient, and more comfortable than ever. They use rubber bands to secure the wire and are suitable for all ages.
Ideal for patients who prefer a reliable and cost-effective option.
2. Metal Self-Ligating Braces
These braces feature a built-in locking mechanism and do not require elastics. They offer faster results, are easier to clean, and feel more comfortable than traditional braces.
3. Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces have clear or tooth-colored brackets, making them less noticeable. They offer the same effectiveness as metal braces with added aesthetic appeal — a popular choice among teens and working professionals.
4. Lingual Braces
Placed behind the teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view. They are custom-made for each patient and offer a discreet option for those conscious of appearance.
Note: They may cause slight speech difficulties and are best suited for specific cases.
5. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign®)
Aligners are transparent, removable trays made of medical-grade plastic. They are nearly invisible, easy to maintain, and allow you to eat freely without restrictions.
Perfect for adults seeking a flexible, aesthetic alternative to traditional braces.
