Orthodontics
Correction of crowding and bite disorders using clear aligners or bracket (wire) treatments.
Orthodontic treatments aim to align the teeth and correct the bite by applying controlled forces. Protocols vary by age; while clear aligners are often preferred for adults due to aesthetic expectations, brackets/wire treatments are used in more complex cases.
At ST Dent, the process begins with a comprehensive examination along with photographic and radiographic records. Treatment options, duration, and costs are clearly explained, and the plan is personalized for each patient.
