ORTHODONTICS · PATIENT GUIDE
Compare fixed braces and clear aligners, understand the day-to-day differences, and discuss the right approach for your smile.
Metal brackets and wires gradually move teeth. Fixed treatment can address both simple and complex alignment and bite concerns.
Keep in mind: visible brackets, food restrictions and extra attention to cleaning.
Specialised clips hold the orthodontic wire instead of elastic bands. The clinic offers systems such as Damon-style braces.
Keep in mind: braces remain visible, and suitability and cost vary by case.
Custom removable trays move teeth gradually without brackets or wires.
Keep in mind: consistent daily wear is essential. Aligners are removed for meals and cleaning.

Individual case photographs. Treatment needs and results vary from person to person.
Your orthodontist will consider crowding, spacing, bite, oral health and treatment goals. Fixed braces may be suitable for complex movements; clear aligners appeal to patients who prefer a discreet removable option.
Invisalign typically requires 20–22 hours of daily wear. The best option depends on both your assessment and the routine you can maintain.
Discuss your concerns and examine the teeth, bite and facial balance.
Scans and imaging help map the planned tooth movements and explain your options.
Attend progress checks and follow your orthodontist’s instructions for wear, cleaning and adjustments.
Teeth can move after orthodontic treatment. Retainers help maintain alignment, bite stability and your new smile. Follow the wear schedule provided by your orthodontist.
Some plans combine orthodontics with gum care, restorative treatment or cosmetic dentistry. The clinic’s team coordinates these steps where needed.
