Types of Orthodontic Appliances
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are the most commonly used orthodontic devices for correcting more complex dental irregularities. They consist of brackets bonded to the teeth and wires that apply pressure to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. Since they work continuously, fixed braces allow for precise control of tooth movement and long-term results. You can choose between traditional metal braces or more aesthetic options.
Removable Aligners
Clear removable aligners are used to correct minor dental irregularities with transparent, nearly invisible trays. They are custom-made for each patient and replaced regularly to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. More comfortable than fixed braces, aesthetically discreet, and removable during meals and oral hygiene, they are an ideal choice for patients seeking a comfortable and subtle solution.

When Is Orthodontic Treatment Needed?
Orthodontic treatment is often used to address painful conditions and functional disorders of the chewing system. The primary goal is to resolve functional issues, with aesthetic improvement naturally following.
Goals of Orthodontic Treatment:
-
Correcting bite irregularities
-
Reducing and closing gaps between teeth
-
Aligning crooked or rotated teeth
-
Enhancing smile aesthetics
-
Supporting long-term health of teeth and gums
Types of Bite Irregularities Treated with Orthodontics
-
Open Bite – Upper and lower teeth do not touch when biting down.
-
Deep Bite – Upper teeth excessively cover the lower teeth when biting.
-
Underbite – Lower teeth cover the upper teeth when biting.
-
Spaced Teeth – Noticeable gaps and spaces between teeth.
-
Crowded Teeth – Opposite of spacing; teeth are overly crowded. In some cases, one or more teeth may need to be extracted to create space for alignment.
-
Crossbite – One dental arch is narrower than the other, causing improper overlapping of teeth in the back segment.
-
Misaligned Teeth – Teeth that have grown outside the dental arch, rotated teeth, or crowding. Rotated teeth are turned around their axis and are not in their proper position.
-
Impacted Teeth – Teeth that remain in the bone and cannot erupt without orthodontic and often surgical intervention.
- Hypodontia – Missing a permanent tooth bud. It is crucial to detect this early so orthodontic therapy can be initiated in time.

What Age Is Best for Getting Braces?
The best time to get braces depends on individual needs and the stage of tooth development. The orthodontist determines the ideal timing based on the current condition of the teeth and bite.
Braces are typically recommended once all permanent teeth have erupted and the jaw is still developing—usually between ages 10 and 14. However, braces can be placed at any age, as long as the person has healthy teeth and gums.
Orthodontic treatments for adults are just as effective as those for children, though they may take slightly longer due to reduced jaw bone flexibility. Adults often opt for more discreet options such as Invisalign, lingual braces, or aesthetic brackets.
