Alignment starts with diagnosis.Your orthodontist assesses the bite, tooth position and records needed before recommending braces, aligners or another approach.
When to consider care
When an orthodontic assessment may help
Alignment concerns can affect appearance, function or both. The right next step depends on the bite and how the teeth are positioned.
Spacing
Visible gaps or spaces may be part of the orthodontic assessment.
Overbite or deep bite
The upper and lower teeth may overlap more than expected.
Crossbite or underbite
Some teeth or the jaw relationship may meet in an altered position.
Relapse after treatment
Teeth can move after previous orthodontic care, especially if retention changes.
These examples are general information only. A dentist or specialist needs to assess your individual situation before recommending treatment.
Treatment
Orthodontic treatment options
The appliance is chosen after diagnosis. Not every option is suitable for every bite or every patient.
01
Fixed braces
A controlled orthodontic system used to move teeth through a planned sequence of adjustments.
02
Clear aligners
Removable aligner treatment can be considered for selected cases after specialist assessment.
03
Lingual & aesthetic options
More discreet orthodontic systems may be considered when clinically appropriate and available.
04
Retention
Retainers help maintain the corrected tooth position after active orthodontic treatment.
Your care pathway
What to expect
A structured orthodontic pathway keeps diagnosis, treatment goals and retention connected.
01
Consultation
Discuss the concern and examine alignment and bite.
02
Records
Photos, scans or X-rays may be used when clinically indicated.
03
Active treatment
Braces or aligners are reviewed at planned intervals.
04
Retention
A retention plan helps protect the result after active treatment.
How we think about care
Specialist planning, not one-size-fits-all orthodontics.
The goal is not simply to make teeth look straighter. Orthodontic planning considers the way the teeth meet, growth where relevant, oral health and the stability of the result.
Diagnosis firstTreatment choice follows the bite and clinical findings.
Digital recordsScanning and imaging can support planning where appropriate.
Retention mattersLong-term stability is part of the treatment plan.

FAQ
Orthodontics: common questions
Short answers to common questions. Your dentist can explain how the information applies to your own case.
Are braces the only option?
No. Depending on the case, options may include fixed braces, clear aligners or other orthodontic systems. A specialist assessment determines what is appropriate.
Can adults have orthodontic treatment?
Yes. Orthodontic treatment can be considered for adults as well as children and teenagers, depending on the clinical findings.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Treatment time varies with the bite, amount of tooth movement, appliance used and how the teeth respond. Your orthodontist can estimate this after assessment.
Will I need retainers afterwards?
Retention is commonly part of orthodontic care. Your orthodontist will explain the retention plan that applies to your case.
Can I choose Invisalign or clear aligners?
Clear aligners can be suitable for selected cases, but the orthodontist needs to assess whether they can achieve the required movements safely and predictably.
