Top 10 Orthodontics FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about orthodontics – what it can fix, how treatment works, and how to choose the right option for your smile and bite.
1. What is orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment improves the position of teeth and how the bite fits together. It can help with crowding, spacing, and bite problems, supporting both appearance and long-term function.
2. What problems can orthodontics help with?
Orthodontics can help with crooked teeth, crowding, gaps, and bite issues such as overbites, underbites and crossbites. Suitability depends on your teeth and jaw relationship, so an assessment is important.
3. What are the different types of orthodontic treatment?
Options can include clear aligners, fixed braces, and other orthodontic appliances, depending on your needs. Your clinician will recommend the most suitable option based on your bite, tooth movements required, and lifestyle preferences.
4. How do I know whether I need braces or aligners?
The best choice depends on the movements needed, your bite, and how predictable each option is for your case. A consultation allows your clinician to assess suitability, explain pros and cons, and recommend the safest route to your goal.
5. How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies depending on complexity and the type of appliance used. After assessment and planning, your clinician can give you a tailored estimate and explain what influences the timeline.
6. Is orthodontic treatment painful?
It’s common to feel pressure or soreness when treatment starts and after adjustments or new aligners. This is usually temporary, and your clinician can advise on what to expect and how to manage discomfort safely.
7. How often will I need orthodontic appointments?
Appointment frequency depends on the type of treatment and how your teeth respond. Your clinician will set a review schedule to monitor progress and make any adjustments needed.
8. What happens after orthodontic treatment – will I need retainers?
Yes, retention is important because teeth can drift over time. Your clinician will recommend a retainer plan to help maintain your result and explain how to wear and care for retainers.
9. Can orthodontics be combined with cosmetic treatments?
Often, yes. Straightening first can improve the final outcome of whitening, bonding, veneers or other cosmetic work. Your clinician can advise on the best sequence based on your goals and oral health.
10. How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on complexity, treatment type, and what’s included in your plan. A consultation allows your clinician to assess your needs and provide a tailored quote, and finance options may be available.

Adult Orthodontic 5D Scanner

What Teeth Straightening Treatments Do You Offer?
There are two main different types of teeth straightening treatments that we use, depending on the amount of movement required. Everyone deserves to have a smile they are proud of, so we are here to get you just that. As long as you have healthy teeth and gums with good oral hygiene, we can get you a smile you are proud of.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a teeth straightening option that offers virtually invisible braces to transform your smile in a discreet way. This treatment uses removable retainers that are regularly changed to manipulate the teeth, making them straight. More people are able to have Invisalign, as the treatment can be tailored depending on how much movement is required. In as little as a year, you can achieve your dream smile with Invisalign!
Fixed Metal Braces
The second option is fixed metal braces, which is a common type of teeth straightening method mainly used for teenagers. Brackets are fitted to the front of the teeth and are connected with very thin wires, which are regularly tightened to apply pressure to the teeth, moving them into the desired position over time. Fixed metal braces are best suited to people who require significant movement, helping to completely transform your smile!
