An orthodontist is a dentist who completed a two to three year accredited post-graduate program at University. Orthodontists limit their practice to the treatment of dental and facial irregularities and are therefore expert at moving teeth and guiding the growth of the jaws.

It is normal to experience some discomfort after orthodontic appliances are first installed or adjusted. Generally, this discomfort will last a few days and every patient will get used to the appliances.

A minor problem in a young patient can take a few months to correct whereas a complete orthodontic treatment can last approximately two years. In the case of a more severe malocclusion in which for example a jaw surgery may be required, the treatment may then last more than two years.

The cost of an orthodontic treatment depends on the type of the malocclusion and its severity. To allow you to benefit all your life from Orthodontics, we offer flexible interest free payment plans to help meet your financial needs.
