Orthodontic Treatments

Orthodontic treatment can include traditional braces, clear aligners, lingual braces, and other appliances designed to gradually move teeth into better alignment. The most suitable option depends on tooth position, bite alignment, and the complexity of the case.

Orthodontic treatment may help if you have crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, bite problems such as overbite or underbite, or difficulty cleaning between teeth. A professional assessment can determine whether treatment could improve alignment and oral health.

Initial orthodontic screening can often be done remotely using guided photos. These photos allow clinicians to review tooth alignment and bite patterns before recommending whether an in-person consultation or treatment is needed.

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case. Many orthodontic treatments take between 6 and 24 months, although minor alignment corrections may take less time and more complex bite corrections may take longer.

The cost of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the type of treatment and the complexity of the case. Factors such as treatment duration, appliances used, and monitoring requirements can affect the final cost.
