Orthodontic Treatment in Harrisdale
What Is Orthodontics?
Crooked teeth, a poor bite, and excessive gaps between teeth are some of the most common orthodontic problems that patients have. Your teeth play an important role in your overall appearance, and having such dental problems can harm your oral health, function of the teeth, and cause cosmetic concerns.
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosis and prevention and is used to correct the following dental problems:
- Crowded teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Incorrect bite patterns (overbite, underbite)
- Teeth misalignment.
- Abnormal tooth growth.
Orthodontics is considered to enhance the appearance of your smile by addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns.

Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a non-metal alternative to traditional braces for repositioning teeth. Clear aligners, like braces, apply a gradual force to control tooth movement but do not need metal wires or brackets. The aligners are made of a long-lasting plastic and are custom-fit. If a series of aligners is necessary, each aligner gradually moves the teeth until the desired movement is achieved.
Since invisible aligners are virtually invisible, they are the ideal orthodontic option for adults and teenagers.
Traditional metal braces
Traditional braces are made of metal brackets that are attached to your teeth and linked together by an archwire. They require adjustment every 4-6 weeks so that steady pressure can gradually straighten your teeth and align your jaw. Dental braces are typically suggested to treat all types of orthodontic cases.
