Orthodontist Treatment in Lahore

Having straight teeth can completely transform your smile, which is why many dental practices offer orthodontic services. Orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces and Invisalign or Clear Aligners, have revolutionized the options available for individuals with crowded or crooked teeth. At our practices, we have both specialist orthodontists  and general dentists with a special interest in orthodontics who can provide a range of orthodontic services to help straighten teeth and achieve a more confident and radiant smile.

Overview

Your specialist orthodontist or dentist will recommend the best option for you, after assessing your teeth. Your treatment options vary from fixed braces, to retainers, to Invisalign treatments and more, for both adults and children.

Braces

You will have likely heard of braces. They’re traditionally a metal device used to straighten your teeth. There are a range of different braces options available.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces are a more traditional and commonly used type of braces, consisting of small brackets that are bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth, with a wire running through them and held in place with a small colored elastic band. These brackets can be made of plastic or metal.

Invisalign

Invisalign or Clear Aligners treatment involves wearing a series of clear and thin aligners, similar to a very thin mouthguard or tray. Each aligner is worn for two weeks before moving on to the next one in the series. Invisalign aligners are removable, making them easy to take out for eating, drinking, and participating in sports.

Education

Braces have been in use for thousands of years, with the first invention dating back to the early 1800s. Over time, they have undergone significant changes and advancements to become the popular orthodontic treatment they are today. Braces are used to straighten crooked teeth, achieving a perfect and straight smile that can last a lifetime.

Invisalign, on the other hand, is a modern and nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. Since its introduction in 1997, Invisalign has transformed millions of smiles around the world.

Apart from making your teeth look great, there are also many important functional reasons for straightening teeth:

  • Crowded and crooked teeth are hard to clean which can, in turn, cause a range of problems in the future
  • Too much space between the teeth, caused by the jaw being too big for the teeth or missing teeth
  • If the upper and lower jaws are misaligned or there’s an underbite or overbite

You could also consult a specialist orthodontist if you notice other problems such as difficulty chewing or biting, if your child complains of a clicking jaw, tooth grinding or clenching, speech difficulties and breathing through the mouth instead of the nose.
