Ortodonthics
The goal of orthodontic treatment at Dhee Dentists Dental Clinic, which may include the use of braces, retainers, and aligners, is to straighten your teeth. Treatment often starts in the pre-teen or teenage years, but adults may also need orthodontic treatment.
Fixed Appliances: Traditional metal braces are the most common fixed orthodontic appliances. Ceramic, metal, or clear brackets are fixed onto each tooth and an arch wire is threaded through each one for connection. The wire is tightened slightly every week until the desired results are achieved. These fixed brackets (Appliances) are removed after 18-30 months of the treatment.

Removable Appliances: Removable appliances come in different shapes and sizes and are popular because of their convenience and versatility. Removable devices include headgear, retainers, and Invisalign® trays. Dhee Dentists creates a custom treatment plan for each case. The time for correction with removable devices varies by the severity of the original malocclusion.
