FAQs
Questions about orthodontics.
Are braces or clear aligners better?
Neither is automatically better. Braces may suit fixed, structured correction, while clear aligners may suit selected cases where removable treatment is appropriate. The dentist needs to assess the bite and tooth movement required.
Do adults still need retainers after orthodontics?
Yes. Retainers are usually part of orthodontic care because teeth can shift after braces or aligners. The dentist will explain the retainer type and wear schedule for your case.
When should children be assessed for orthodontic concerns?
Children can be assessed when parents notice crowding, bite changes, early tooth loss, delayed eruption, habits, or jaw growth concerns. Some children only need monitoring, while others may benefit from early guidance.
