SUN DENTAL CLINIC
Orthodontics & Aligners
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth, jaw irregularities, and bite problems. These treatments not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also improve long-term oral health, speech, and chewing function.
Modern orthodontic treatments include traditional braces as well as clear, removable aligners—providing flexible solutions for patients of all ages. Whether you want a discreet option or a comprehensive correction, orthodontic care offers predictable and long-lasting results.
Why Orthodontic Treatment Matters
Misaligned teeth are not just an aesthetic concern. They can cause:
Difficulty chewing
Speech problems
Excessive tooth wear
Jaw pain and headaches
Increased risk of cavities and gum disease
Poor facial symmetry
Orthodontics corrects these issues by guiding teeth and jaws into their proper position.
Types of Orthodontic Treatments
1. Traditional Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most common and effective orthodontic option for complex cases.
They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that gradually move teeth into alignment.
Benefits
Suitable for all levels of misalignment
Highly durable
Ideal for children, teens, and adults
Cost-effective
2. Ceramic (Tooth-Colored) Braces
Ceramic braces work like metal braces but use tooth-colored materials for a more discreet appearance.
Advantages
Less noticeable than metal
Effective for moderate and severe cases
Blends seamlessly with natural teeth
3. Lingual Braces (Hidden Braces)
Lingual braces are placed behind the teeth, making them invisible from the front.
Best For
Patients who want a completely hidden treatment
Professionals and public figures
Moderate to complex orthodontic needs
4. Clear Aligners (Invisalign & Similar Systems)
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays designed to straighten teeth comfortably and discreetly.

Orthodontic Treatment Process
1. Consultation & Digital Scanning
We evaluate your bite, take X-rays, and use 3D digital scans to create a customized treatment plan.
2. Treatment Planning
We determine the ideal orthodontic method—braces, aligners, or a combination.
3. Active Treatment Phase
Teeth gradually shift into their ideal positions with routine adjustments or new aligner sets.
4. Retention Phase
After alignment is complete, retainers maintain your new smile for long-term stability.
