Orthodontics and aligners

You are your smile. people remember us by our ready smile or bright smile, crooked smile or a toothless smile. It is an integral part of our personality and who we are. While all of us are not endowed with a disarming smile, we at Akeela Dental Care, work towards giving you that beautiful and radiant smile.

Usually the first thing that comes to mind is braces. But orthodontic treatment is much more than that. It helps in correcting the current position and bringing the teeth into a more functional bite and aesthetics.

Initial study models along with panoramic X-rays are taken to study the tooth position in relation to the cranium. This study will help us in deciding the type of treatment, duration and other questions that you may have.

Clear aligners can straighten crooked teeth and correct small spacings. This is done with a sequence of aligners that minutely move the tooth position with each tray.

Each tray is worn for about 20 hours a day for 2 weeks following which the next aligner can be worn. This may go on for about 6-18 months to complete. Since these are clear, these can be worn during work also. The disadvantage is, if not worn regularly, the results will vary and get delayed.

Our orthodontist will advise you and select the best possible treatment for you.
