Braces remain one of the most reliable and effective orthodontic treatments for correcting tooth alignment and bite concerns. Using carefully positioned brackets and precision archwires, teeth are guided into healthier positions over time, improving both appearance and long-term oral function.
At Sanctum, your treatment is planned by experienced orthodontic specialists using detailed digital records and personalised assessments. Every stage is carefully coordinated, ensuring a clear understanding of your treatment timeline while making your overall care journey as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Types of Braces
We offer metal braces, ceramic braces, and self-ligating systems, allowing treatment to be tailored to your clinical needs and personal preferences. Traditional metal braces remain highly effective for complex cases, while ceramic options provide a more discreet appearance. Self-ligating braces reduce friction and may offer improved comfort and efficiency for suitable patients.
Conditions Braces Can Treat
Braces effectively correct crowded teeth, spacing, rotated teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and other alignment concerns. They are often the preferred solution for more complex orthodontic cases and for younger patients whose developing jaws benefit from carefully guided treatment.
Your Treatment Journey
Treatment generally takes between 12 and 36 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Regular adjustment visits allow your orthodontist to monitor progress and make gradual refinements. Mild soreness following adjustments is common and usually settles within a few days. Once treatment is complete, retainers are provided to help preserve your new smile.
Maintaining Your Results
Retainers are an essential part of successful orthodontic treatment. As teeth naturally tend to shift over time, wearing retainers as instructed helps maintain your results for years to come. Depending on your needs, your orthodontist may recommend fixed retainers, removable retainers, or a combination of both for long-term stability.
