Straighter teeth are not only about appearance. An aligned bite can make chewing more comfortable, support clearer speech, and make it easier to maintain oral hygiene. Many patients also feel more confident when their teeth are properly aligned.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments at Mall Road Dental
We offer a range of orthodontic options designed to suit different needs and lifestyles:
Traditional braces – A common choice for children and teens. Treatment usually lasts 18–24 months, with regular visits for adjustments.
Ceramic braces or lingual braces – More subtle alternatives that use tooth-coloured or hidden brackets to address misalignment.
Clear aligners (such as Invisalign®) – A removable option that is nearly invisible. Treatment time can range from several months to a few years, depending on individual needs.
Orthodontists often recommend that children have their first assessment around age 7, when permanent teeth begin to appear. Early monitoring can help determine if future treatment may be needed.
More adults are now seeking orthodontic care. Reasons vary, but many choose treatment to improve function, support oral health, or enhance the appearance of their smile.
