Our Process
Our dentists evaluates your teeth, takes X-rays, and creates a customized treatment plan. This includes deciding between braces or aligners based on your dental needs, goals, and lifestyle preferences.
Braces are fixed to your teeth, or custom aligners are provided. Instructions are given on care and use. Aligners require regular replacements, while braces need periodic adjustments to ensure steady progress.
Once treatment is complete, retainers are provided to maintain your new smile. Consistent wear prevents teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

FAQs
The duration of wearing braces depends on the severity of your dental issue and the type of braces you choose. On average, treatment lasts between 1 to 3 years. Your orthodontist will provide an estimate based on your specific case
Braces may cause mild discomfort or soreness, especially after initial placement or adjustments. This usually lasts for a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and soft foods
While wearing braces, you should avoid hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could damage the brackets or wires. Cut food into smaller pieces and focus on braces-friendly options like soft fruits, vegetables, and dairy products
Maintaining oral hygiene is crucial with braces. Brush your teeth after every meal using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Use interdental brushes or a water flosser to clean between the brackets and wires, and consider mouthwash for additional protection
Braces are effective in treating various orthodontic problems like crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps. However, some complex cases might require additional treatments like extractions or jaw surgery. Your orthodontist will create a customized treatment plan for your needs
