What is Orthodontics (Braces)?
Orthodontic treatment uses braces or clear aligners to gradually move teeth into a healthier, more attractive position. At Dental Fam, we offer traditional metal braces, ceramic options, and modern aligner systems for adult patients seeking discreet results.

How it works

What to expect
Most adult treatments last 12 to 24 months, with brief appointments every four to eight weeks. You may feel mild pressure or soreness for a few days after each adjustment, which is a normal sign that the teeth are moving.
Recovery & aftercare
Brush carefully around brackets or clean aligners daily, and avoid hard or sticky foods that can damage your appliance. Wear your retainer as instructed after treatment to keep your new smile beautifully aligned for years to come.
