What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, including misaligned teeth and jaw positioning. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to improve oral function, correct alignment, and enhance the appearance of your smile.
What Does an Orthodontist Do?
Orthodontists specialise in a variety of treatments aimed at correcting teeth and jaw alignment, including:
- Braces Treatment: Traditional metal braces that gradually move teeth into alignment.
- Clear Aligners: Custom-made, removable aligners (like Invisalign) that straighten teeth without the need for brackets or wires.
- Retainers: Devices used after orthodontic treatment to maintain the position of straightened teeth.

Which Is Right for You?
Both braces and clear aligners are effective for straightening teeth, but the best option depends on your specific dental needs, lifestyle, and preferences.

How to Care for Your Teeth
During Orthodontic Treatment
Whether you’re wearing braces or using aligners, proper oral hygiene is essential to maintaining healthy teeth throughout treatment.
Braces Care Tips:
Brush After Every Meal: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove food particles from around the brackets and wires.
Floss Daily: Flossing is crucial to preventing plaque buildup between teeth.
Avoid Hard and Sticky Foods: Stay away from foods that can damage the braces, such as popcorn, chewing gum, and hard candy.
Clear Aligners Care Tips:
Clean Aligners Regularly: Rinse aligners and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
Wear Aligners for 20-22 Hours a Day: To ensure effective treatment, wear your aligners as directed by your orthodontist.
Remove Aligners Before Eating or Drinking: Always remove aligners to avoid staining or damaging them.
