- Traditional metal braces: Traditional braces made of high-grade stainless steel, featuring metal brackets and wires that gradually align and straighten teeth.
- Ceramic braces: Braces similar to metal braces, but with tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend in with the teeth.
- Invisalign: A popular clear aligner treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions, offering a virtually invisible orthodontic solution.
- Lingual: Customised braces that are attached to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside, providing a discreet treatment option.
- Invisalign Teen/First: A specialised version of Invisalign designed for teenagers or as a first-time orthodontic treatment, featuring additional features to accommodate the unique needs of younger patients, such as compliance indicators to ensure proper wear.
- Early Intervention: Orthodontic treatment initiated during childhood, typically for children between the ages of 6 and 10, to address developing orthodontic issues and guide the growth of the jaw and incoming permanent teeth.
- Retainers: Custom-made devices used after orthodontic treatment to hold teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back, helping maintain the final results of the orthodontic treatment.
What is Orthodontic Treatment?
Orthodontic treatment is a dental specialty that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws for both adults and children. It involves the use of braces, retainers, and other devices to move your teeth into their desired position – paving the way to the smile you’ve always wanted.
At The Dental Abode, we can improve the appearance of your teeth and how they function from day to day, as well as save you from the woes of future dental issues. Our mission is to give you a healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing bite.
It is often recommended for people who have problems with their teeth or jaws, such as crooked or crowded teeth, an overbite, an underbite, or a crossbite.
If you have any questions about our orthodontic services or would like to seek treatment on your children’s behalf, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. We look forward to helping you achieve and maintain a healthy, attractive smile.
Who Can Benefit from Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment is beneficial for individuals with a range of dental issues. It can help straighten crooked or misaligned teeth, improving both appearance and function. Overbites, underbites, and crossbites can be corrected, ensuring proper alignment of upper and lower teeth.
Furthermore, orthodontic procedures can create space in the mouth by gradually aligning crowded teeth, promoting better oral hygiene. Or, if you’d like to improve your smile then orthodontics is also for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can you get an orthodontic treatment done?
There is no age limit for orthodontic correction, and many adults opt for orthodontic treatment to improve their smile and oral health. Additionally children should have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7.
What is the ideal duration of orthodontic treatment?
The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, but it typically lasts between 18 months to 3 years.
Will orthodontic treatment be painful?
Some discomfort or soreness is normal, especially after adjustments. However, modern orthodontic techniques have minimised the pain associated with treatment, and over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any discomfort.
