ORTHODONTIC
(For both Kids & Adults)
COMMON ORTHODONTIC ISSUES​
​
The way your teeth align and meet together is known as occlusion. Typically, the upper teeth rest above the lower teeth when your jaw is closed and the top surfaces of the molars line up. However, teeth do not always match up. Malocclusion of the teeth is a misalignment problem that can lead to serious oral health complications.

ORTHODONTIC PHASES ​
​
Generally, orthodontic treatment takes between 6 and 30 months to complete. The treatment time will largely depend on the classification of the malocclusion, the type of dental devices used to correct it and the perseverance of the patient.

BRACES CARE​
​
Taking care of your teeth will be more difficult once you get braces because braces have countless tiny spaces to trap food which can causes plaque and lead to many other dental problems.

Oral Hygiene
It's very important to brush your teeth after every meal and snacks, to rinse with mouthwash, and to floss at least once a day. This may seem tedious or excessive, but neglecting your oral hygiene can lead to serious oral health problems, force you to spend additional time in braces, or cause unsightly staining on your teeth.
