Orthodontic Treatment Overview
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating irregularities of the teeth and jaws. At Braces and Specialist Dental Clinic, orthodontic treatment is led and performed by a Consultant Orthodontist, ensuring precise diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and high-quality results. Orthodontic problems such as crowded teeth, gaps, protrusion, and bite issues are not only aesthetic concerns—they can also affect oral hygiene, chewing efficiency, speech, and long-term dental health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, function better, and contribute to a confident smile.
We provide comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teenagers, and adults, using modern techniques and advanced diagnostic tools, including intraoral scanning for accurate treatment planning. Treatment options range from conventional braces to more aesthetic and discreet solutions, depending on individual needs and lifestyle. Each treatment is carefully planned based on detailed clinical assessment and, when required, growth considerations or interdisciplinary care. Whether the goal is improving appearance, function, or both, our approach ensures safe, effective, and predictable outcomes.
Who Needs Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended if you have:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Protruding front teeth
- Bite problems (deep bite, open bite, crossbite)
- Jaw growth discrepancies in children
Early assessment is beneficial for children, while adults can also successfully undergo orthodontic treatment at any age.

Start Your Orthodontic Journey
We offer consultations to assess your condition and discuss suitable treatment options. Early evaluation and proper planning are key to achieving the best results.
Braces & Alignment Solutions
Personalized treatment options designed to gently and effectively align your teeth for long-lasting results.
Metal Braces
The most reliable and effective orthodontic treatment for correcting complex alignment and bite problems.
★ Ideal for:
Complex orthodontic cases
Self-Ligating Braces
These braces use a special clip system instead of elastic ties, helping reduce friction and improve comfort.
★ Ideal for:
Comfortable low-friction treatment
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces work like metal braces but use tooth-coloured brackets that blend with natural teeth, making them less noticeable.
★ Ideal for:
Aesthetic braces option
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that gradually move teeth without brackets or wires. They offer a discreet and comfortable way.
★ Ideal for:
Invisible orthodontics
Types of malocclusion we treat
Crowded Teeth
Crowded Teeth – Alignment for Better Function and Hygiene
Crowded teeth occur when there is insufficient space in the jaw, causing teeth to overlap, rotate, or become displaced. At Braces and Specialist Dental Clinic, crowded teeth are corrected through precise orthodontic planning by a Consultant Orthodontist, ensuring optimal alignment and long-term stability
Why Treat Crowding?
- Difficulty in cleaning → increased risk of decay and gum disease
- Poor aesthetics
- Abnormal tooth wear
Treatment Options
- Braces (metal, ceramic, self-ligating)
- Clear aligners (selected cases)
- Space creation (expansion, interproximal reduction, or extractions when necessary)
Spacing / Gaps Between Teeth
Gaps Between Teeth – Improve Aesthetics and Function
Spacing refers to visible gaps between teeth, commonly seen in the front teeth.
- Small teeth relative to jaw size
- Missing teeth
- Habits (e.g., tongue thrusting)
Why Treatment is Important
- Affects smile aesthetics
- May lead to food impaction
- Can impact speech in some cases
Treatment Options
- Braces or clear aligners
- Closure of spaces with controlled tooth movement
- Combined orthodontic and restorative care (if needed)
Protruding Teeth (Overjet)
Protruding Teeth – Improve Facial Profile and Protection
Protruding front teeth extend forward beyond normal alignment and are more prone to injury.
Concerns
- Increased risk of trauma
- Lip incompetence
- Aesthetic concerns
Treatment Approach
- Orthodontic retraction using braces or aligners
- Growth modification in children (if applicable)
- Careful space management (with or without extractions)
Deep Bite
Deep Bite – Correcting Excessive Vertical Overlap
Problems Associated
- Tooth wear
- Gum trauma
- Jaw discomfort
Treatment
- Bite correction using braces
- Intrusion or extrusion of teeth as required
- Use of specialized orthodontic mechanics
Open Bite
Open Bite – Restoring Proper Bite Contact
An open bite is when upper and lower teeth do not meet properly, especially in the front region.
Common Causes
- Thumb sucking
- Tongue thrusting
- Skeletal growth patterns
Why Treat?
- Difficulty in biting food
- Speech issues
- Aesthetic concerns
Treatment Options
- Braces with vertical control mechanics
- Habit correction
- Growth modification or surgical orthodontics in severe cases
Crossbite (Anterior / Posterior)
Crossbite – Early Correction is Important
An open bite is when upper and lower teeth do not meet properly, especially in the front region.
Common Causes
- Thumb sucking
- Tongue thrusting
- Skeletal growth patterns
Why Treat?
- Difficulty in biting food
- Speech issues
- Aesthetic concerns
Treatment Options
- Braces with vertical control mechanics
- Habit correction
- Growth modification or surgical orthodontics in severe cases
Impacted Teeth
Impacted Teeth – Guided Eruption into the Correct Position
Impacted teeth are teeth that fail to erupt into the correct position, commonly affecting upper canines.
Why It Matters
- Can damage adjacent teeth
- Affects aesthetics and function
Treatment Approach
- Surgical exposure (in collaboration with OMF surgeon)
- Orthodontic traction to guide the tooth into position
