FAQ about Orthodontics
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics deals with the correction of malocclusions (like crowded teeth or open bite), which are alignment and bite problems that cause esthetic and functional problems.
When can I start an orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatment can be started when you have your permanent teeth (between 12/13 years old) since the bones and teeth are still developing. Orthodontic treatment at an early age is simpler and faster than the treatment for adults. Still, it’s never too late.
How long does orthodontic treatment last?
The length of orthodontic treatment depends on the condition of the malocclusion. Generally, orthodontic treatment lasts between 12 and 24 months.
What types of orthodontic appliances exist?
The most common types of orthodontic appliances are:
- Metal brackets: These are the most common type of orthodontic appliance.
- Aesthetic braces: These are made of materials that are less visible than metal braces, such as plastic or sapphire.
Invisalign: This is an invisible orthodontic system that uses removable clear aligners

- Use mouthwash after every meal.
