FAQs

An orthodontist is a dental professional who undergoes specialized training to diagnose and treat misaligned teeth and jaws. While dentists focus on general oral health, orthodontists concentrate specifically on improving tooth alignment and correcting bite issues.

Orthodontic treatments such as braces and aligners can address a variety of issues including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and overall misalignment of the jaw.

Indications that you might benefit from orthodontic treatment include noticeably crooked or overcrowded teeth, challenges with biting or chewing, teeth that are shifting position, discomfort in the jaw, or a recommendation from your general dentist.

The duration of orthodontic treatment typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. The exact timeframe depends on the complexity of your specific case and your adherence to treatment guidelines, including regular appointments and proper use of aligners if applicable.

The choice between braces and Invisalign depends on several factors, including your specific orthodontic needs, lifestyle preferences, and treatment goals. A professional consultation is necessary to determine which option is most suitable for your individual case.

Orthodontic patients typically require appointments every 6 to 10 weeks. These visits are essential for making necessary adjustments and monitoring the progress of your treatment.
