Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of irregularities in the alignment and appearance of teeth and jaws. Common orthodontic conditions include overlapping upper or lower teeth, open bites, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth and ectopic teeth (teeth that erupt in the wrong position). Orthodontic treatment not only enhances the aesthetics of your smile but also improves oral health by ensuring proper alignment and function.

The function of jaws and its muscles is balanced by many factors. One of the important factor is the correct alignment of our upper and lower dentition. Patient with malaligned teeth has many un-noticed functional problems such as problems with chewing the food, speech, temporomandibular joint dysfunction which often leads to pain and constant discomfort. Hence the correction of malaligned teeth not only helps with a beautiful smile, but it leads a way to correct many functional jaw related disorders.

Dental Brace Fixing Services

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are custom-made, transparent trays that fit snugly over the teeth. They gradually move teeth into alignment without the need for brackets or wires, making them an ideal choice for patients seeking a discreet option.

Space Maintainers (Paediatric)

Our teeth begin to shift or tilt when there is space next to them, especially if they are not supported by adjacent teeth. Space maintainers are devices used in children to hold the space for a permanent tooth when a baby tooth is lost prematurely. This prevents adjacent teeth from shifting into the vacant space, ensuring proper alignment when the permanent tooth erupts.
