Orthodontics
1. Fixed Braces (Metal and Ceramic)
-
Fixed braces are suitable for children, teenagers and adults with crowded teeth, spacing, misalignment or an incorrect bite. Metal braces are the most durable and cost-effective option, while ceramic braces offer a more aesthetic alternative with tooth-coloured or transparent brackets.
-
Treatment is carried out by a specialist orthodontist, and the duration depends on the complexity of the case — typically 12–24 months. Braces apply continuous, gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into an ideal position.
How to know if you need this:
-
If your teeth are crowded, crooked, spaced apart, your bite feels uneven, you frequently bite your cheek or tongue, or you notice functional difficulties while chewing.
2. Invisible (Clear) Aligners
-
Clear aligners are a modern, comfortable and discreet orthodontic solution for teenagers and adults. Each set is custom-made following a detailed digital analysis, and the teeth are moved gradually using a series of transparent trays that are changed every 1–2 weeks.
-
This treatment is ideal for patients who want orthodontic correction without metal brackets and with the freedom to remove the aligners for eating and brushing. Treatment usually lasts 6–18 months, depending on the patient’s condition.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you have mild to moderate misalignment, prefer a discreet option, want to avoid fixed braces, or work in a profession where appearance matters.
3. Lingual Braces (Hidden Braces on the Inner Surface)
-
Lingual braces are completely invisible because they are placed on the inner, tongue-side surface of the teeth. The treatment is performed by a specialist orthodontist and is ideal for patients who want maximum aesthetics without compromise.
-
Each lingual appliance is custom-designed, and the results are comparable to those of traditional fixed braces. Treatment time is usually 12–24 months.
How to know if you need this:
-
If you want a completely invisible orthodontic treatment, work in the public eye, perform on stage, or simply prefer braces that cannot be seen.
4. Interceptive Orthodontics for Children
-
Interceptive orthodontics is a preventive treatment for children aged 6–10, designed to guide the growth and development of the jaws and prevent more serious orthodontic problems later on. The treatment may involve removable appliances, expanders or gentle corrective devices.
-
This therapy improves growth patterns and creates enough space for permanent teeth, significantly reducing the need for more complex treatment during adolescence.
How to know if you need this:
-
If your child has a narrow jaw, overlapping baby or permanent teeth, difficulty chewing, mouth-breathing, frequently bites the lips or cheeks, or has early loss of baby teeth.
5. Retainers and Jaw Development Therapy
-
Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment to maintain the new tooth position and prevent shifting. They are custom-made and can be fixed or removable.
-
Jaw development therapy is intended for children and teenagers who need expansion, growth stimulation or improved jaw positioning. These treatments support a correct bite, proper breathing and healthy development of the dental system.
How to know if you need this:
-
If your teeth begin to shift after braces, you have a narrow jaw, an incorrect bite, or your orthodontist has recommended stabilisation after treatment.
