About Aligners & Braces

Crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth are among the most common dental concerns we see, and they matter beyond aesthetics. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, wear unevenly over time, and can contribute to jaw joint problems and bite-related headaches. Orthodontic treatment corrects these issues by moving teeth into their proper positions over a planned period of time. We offer three main orthodontic options.

Traditional metal braces remain the most reliable and cost-effective choice for significant corrections, they work efficiently across all age groups and allow precise control for complex tooth movements. Ceramic braces function the same way but use tooth-coloured brackets, making them far less conspicuous while delivering equivalent results. Clear removable aligners are the preferred choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth without visible appliances, they are worn throughout the day, removed only for eating and cleaning, and changed every 1 to 2 weeks as treatment progresses. For children, early orthodontic assessment (from around age 7 to 8) allows us to identify developing bite problems and address them early.

Aligners vs. braces:

  • Aligners are suitable for mild to moderate misalignment
  • Braces are preferred for complex corrections, rotations, and bite issues
  • Your clinical assessment will clarify which option applies to you
  • For adults, age is not a barrier as long as gums and bone are healthy
  • After treatment, retainers are essential to hold results permanently

Treatment duration:

Mild corrections: 6 to 9 months. Moderate cases: 12 to 18 months. Complex full-arch alignment: 18 to 24+ months.
