Orthodontic Braces
What Are Orthodontic Braces?
Orthodontic braces are dental appliances used to straighten misaligned teeth, fix bite issues, and improve overall smile aesthetics.
They gently apply pressure over time to move your teeth into their correct position, improving both the appearance and function of your teeth and jaw.
Braces are commonly used to treat:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Jaw misalignment
Types of Braces
At The Right Dentist, we offer several types of orthodontic braces to suit your comfort and lifestyle:
- Metal Braces – Traditional and highly effective, made of stainless steel brackets and wires.
- Ceramic Braces – Tooth colored and less noticeable, blending with your natural teeth.
- Lingual Braces – Placed behind your teeth, offering a completely invisible option.
- Clear Aligners (Invisalign) – Removable, transparent trays for a more comfortable and aesthetic solution.
How the Treatment Works?
Consultation & Evaluation – Your dentist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and creates a personalized treatment plan.
- Brace Placement – Brackets are fixed to your teeth and connected with a wire that applies gentle, continuous pressure.
- Adjustment Visits – You’ll visit the clinic every 4–6 weeks for adjustments to gradually align your teeth.
- Retention Phase – After braces are removed, you’ll wear a retainer to maintain your new smile.
Treatment Duration:
Usually between 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of the case and patient compliance.
