Orthodontics
Brief
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating issues related to the alignment of teeth and jaws. It can be beneficial for individuals with crooked or crowded teeth, large gaps between teeth, improper occlusion, or abnormal changes in the face or jaws. At Advanced Dentistry, qualified orthodontists offer treatments such as fixed braces (metal or ceramic), removable braces, and invisible aligners, including Invisalign, the most renowned and successful treatment, and Straumann ClearCorrect , both offering invisible, quick, safe, and effective alignment treatments. These specialists are further trained in correcting occlusion and alignment problems. Consultation with an orthodontist determines the right treatment choice based on the individual needs of each patient.

Frequently asked questions
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of improperly positioned teeth and jaws. This includes using dental braces to align and straighten teeth.
There are several types of dental braces, including traditional metal braces, ceramic (esthetic) braces, lingual braces (positioned on the inside of the teeth), and clear aligners like Invisalign.
Metal braces are more visible but are usually more affordable and can treat a wider range of orthodontic issues. Ceramic braces are less visible due to the material resembling the natural color of teeth, but can be more expensive and slightly more fragile.
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are removable trays made of transparent plastic that fit over the teeth. They gradually straighten the teeth by changing the trays at regular intervals.
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of dental braces used. On average, treatment can last between 1 and 3 years.
Lingual braces are as effective as traditional braces, but are less visible as they are attached on the inside of the teeth. They can be a good option for adults or teenagers looking for a more discreet solution.
With metal or ceramic braces, it is recommended to avoid very hard or sticky foods that can damage the appliance. With clear aligners, they are removed during meals, so there are no dietary restrictions.
It's normal to feel mild discomfort or pressure when the dental braces are adjusted, but this should subside in a few days.
Yes, after removing dental braces, most patients need to wear a retainer to maintain the teeth in their new position.
Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners is generally 2-3 times faster than traditional ones.
