We review alignment, bite, appearance, oral hygiene, gum health, and any jaw-joint concerns.
ORTHODONTICS · CHILDREN & ADULTS
Braces, clear aligners, and bite care
Orthodontic planning considers facial balance, tooth position, bite, gums, and long-term stability—not simply the choice of an appliance.
YOUR PLAN
Records first, then goals and options
Build a diagnosis
Photographs, scans or models, and appropriate X-rays may be required to assess tooth and jaw relationships.
Understand cooperation and retention
We compare appliances, expected reviews, cleaning, limitations, risks, and the need for retainers.
Treatment time and outcome are affected by growth, gums, complexity, and cooperation. A fixed duration or result cannot be promised before assessment.
FAQ
Common questions
Am I too old for orthodontic treatment?
Age alone is not the deciding factor. Gum health, tooth condition, bite, and treatment goals matter more.
Are clear aligners always better than braces?
No. Each system has different indications, control, and cooperation requirements. The best fit depends on your bite and lifestyle.
When should a child be assessed?
Early assessment can be useful for crossbite, jaw asymmetry, severe crowding, mouth breathing, or oral habits. Assessment does not always mean immediate treatment.
