Patient FAQs

Common questions about orthodontics

Do I need braces or aligners?

An orthodontic assessment is needed to check crowding, bite, tooth movement needs, and whether aligners are suitable.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Timing varies widely. Mild cases may be shorter, while complex bite correction can take longer.

Will braces hurt?

Discomfort or pressure can happen after fitting or adjustment, but it usually improves as the mouth adapts.

Will my teeth move back?

Teeth can shift after treatment. Wearing retainers as advised helps maintain the result.

The orthodontist will explain suitable options, expected time, retention needs, and risks after examining the bite.
