Top Reasons

Why Patients Choose Orthodontic Treatment

Correct Bite and Jaw Alignment

Patients choose orthodontic treatment to fix bite problems that cause uneven chewing, jaw strain, or excessive pressure on certain teeth.

Reduce Jaw Discomfort and Tension

Many patients start orthodontic treatment to address jaw discomfort, muscle tension, or bite-related symptoms that build up over time.

Improve Smile Symmetry and Confidence

Straightening teeth improves smile harmony and symmetry, helping patients feel more confident in photos and daily life.

Prevent Tooth Wear and Damage

Correcting the bite helps reduce excessive tooth wear, cracking, and chipping by distributing chewing forces more evenly.

Prepare for Veneers, Crowns, or Implants

Orthodontics is often an important step before veneers, crowns, or implants to create the correct spacing, alignment, and a stable foundation.

Long-Term Oral Health and Stability

Aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which can reduce the risk of cavities, gum issues, and future dental complications.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Will braces or clear aligners damage my enamel?

Braces and aligners do not damage enamel by themselves. The main risk comes from plaque buildup around brackets or attachments if oral hygiene is not consistent. With proper brushing, flossing/interdental cleaning, and regular professional cleanings, most patients complete treatment without enamel problems.

What’s better: braces or clear aligners?

It depends on your bite and treatment goals. Clear aligners are more discreet and removable, but they require strong compliance (typically 20-22 hours per day). Braces can be more effective for certain complex movements and do not rely on daily wear time. The best option is chosen after an exam and diagnostics.

Does orthodontic treatment hurt?

Most patients feel pressure or tenderness for a few days after placement and after adjustments. It’s usually manageable and improves as you adapt. If discomfort is significant, your orthodontic team can adjust the plan and give simple comfort recommendations.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies by case complexity, bite goals, and patient compliance. Many cases fall in the 12-24 month range, but some take shorter or longer. A realistic timeline is confirmed after diagnostics and a full bite evaluation.

Will I need refinements or extra stages with aligners?

Sometimes, yes. Many aligner cases include a refinement phase to fine-tune the final result. This is common and doesn’t mean something went wrong your teeth can respond differently than predicted, and refinements help achieve a stable outcome.

Can I do orthodontics if I already have fillings, crowns, or implants?

In most cases, yes. Fillings and crowns are usually not a problem, but they may require specific bonding methods. Dental implants do not move like natural teeth, so orthodontic planning is done around them. Your dentist/orthodontist will evaluate everything during diagnosis.

Do I need to remove wisdom teeth before orthodontic treatment?

Not always. Some patients can start orthodontics without removing wisdom teeth, while others may benefit from removal depending on position, space, gum health, and risk of future problems. This decision is made after imaging and clinical evaluation.

Will my teeth move back after treatment?

Teeth can shift if retention is not maintained. Retainers are a standard part of orthodontic treatment and are essential for keeping results stable long term. Your provider will recommend the right type of retainer and wear schedule for your case.
