Orthodontics

Orthodontics straightens teeth and corrects the bite using braces or clear aligners. Straight teeth are easier to clean and improve chewing and smile.

Treatment typically takes 12 to 30 months, followed by retainers to prevent relapse. An assessment at around age 7 helps catch jaw problems early, and adults can also have orthodontic treatment.
