Orthodontic treatment aligns the teeth and improves how the upper and lower jaws meet. This affects appearance, and also how easy the teeth are to clean and how biting forces are shared.
At Tooth Shine we offer fixed braces and clear aligners. Clear aligners suit many cases but not all of them, so the choice is made after an examination, X-rays and case analysis.
Why patients seek this treatment
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Protruding or retruded front teeth
- A bite that does not meet comfortably
- Wishing to align teeth before cosmetic restorations
What the first assessment involves
- Examination of the teeth, gums and jaws
- X-rays suited to the case
- Recording the teeth with the intraoral scanner or an impression
- Explaining the available options, expected duration and follow-up
Types of treatment and how it works
Choosing between fixed braces and clear aligners is decided after examination, based on the type and complexity of the case and your ability to commit.
Fixed braces
Small brackets bonded to the teeth with a wire that moves them gradually. Suits most cases, including complex ones, and does not rely on the patient removing it.
Clear aligners
A series of clear trays changed at intervals, each moving the teeth a small step. Nearly invisible and removed for eating and cleaning.
Digital planning
With clear aligners, tooth movement is planned on the computer before starting, showing an approximate expected result. This is a projection, not a guarantee.
Retention
After treatment a retainer (fixed or removable) is needed so the teeth do not drift back, and wearing it as advised is essential.
Fixed or clear?
| Fixed braces | Clear aligners | |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Visible (tooth-coloured options exist) | Nearly invisible |
| Suitable cases | Most cases, including complex ones | Many cases, but not all |
| Commitment | Stays in place; attend reviews and keep it clean | Must be worn about 20–22 hours a day |
| Eating & cleaning | Avoid hard and sticky food; cleaning takes more effort | Removed for eating and brushing |
Duration and results vary between cases; the dentist explains them after studying yours.

Questions & answers
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
No. Clear aligners suit many cases, but some need fixed braces or a different approach. The dentist decides after the examination and X-rays.
Is there an age limit for orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment is possible for children and adults as long as the teeth and gums are healthy. In children, timing depends on jaw growth and tooth eruption.
How long does treatment take?
Duration varies with the case and with following instructions and appointments. The dentist gives an estimated timeline after studying your case.
What if I don't wear my aligners enough?
The teeth will not move as planned, and treatment may take longer or need new trays. Wearing them for the advised hours is the single most important factor.
Why do I need a retainer after treatment?
Because teeth naturally tend to move back, especially in the first months. The dentist decides the type of retainer and how long to wear it.
