FAQ

Orthodontic FAQs

How long does orthodontic treatment take? +

Treatment duration varies by complexity. Mild cases with aligners may take 6–12 months. Moderate cases with braces typically take 12–18 months. Severe misalignment or jaw issues can take 18–30 months. Your orthodontist will give you a personalised estimate at the consultation.

Is orthodontic treatment only for children and teenagers? +

Absolutely not. Adults are one of the fastest growing groups seeking orthodontic treatment. There is no age limit for braces or aligners. Many adults prefer ceramic braces or invisible aligners for a more discreet treatment experience.

Are invisible aligners as effective as traditional braces? +

For mild-to-moderate cases, invisible aligners are equally effective as traditional braces. For complex cases involving significant jaw movement or severe rotation, metal or ceramic braces may be more effective. Our orthodontist will recommend the right option for your specific situation.

Will braces or aligners affect my speech or eating? +

There is usually a short adjustment period of 1–2 weeks. With braces, some foods (hard, sticky or chewy items) should be avoided. Aligners are removed for eating, so there are no food restrictions. Speech is rarely affected significantly and adjusts quickly for both options.
