Orthodontic assessment considers tooth alignment, bite, jaw relationships, facial growth and oral function together. Treatment may be suitable for children, teenagers or adults, depending on the findings.
Options can include metal braces, ceramic braces, removable appliances or clear aligners. The most appropriate method depends on the movement required, growth stage, oral hygiene and the person's ability to follow the plan.
For children, an early assessment does not always mean immediate treatment. It can identify problems that benefit from monitoring or timely intervention while growth continues.
Treatment length varies. Regular appointments, good oral hygiene and use of retainers after active treatment are essential parts of maintaining the result.
Every person has different clinical needs. Suitability, treatment options and timing can only be confirmed after an examination and any necessary imaging.
