Orthodontic questions

Orthodontic FAQs

Helpful answers before you contact our Panania team.

Is orthodontic treatment only for children?

No. Children, teenagers and adults may all benefit from orthodontic care. The most suitable timing and treatment depend on tooth position, jaw development, oral health and your goals.

What is the difference between plates, braces and clear aligners?

Plates are removable appliances often used to guide developing teeth and jaws. Braces provide fixed tooth movement, while clear aligners use removable trays. We will explain which options may suit your needs.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Timing varies with the complexity of the bite, the type of appliance and how teeth respond. Regular reviews help us monitor progress and keep treatment on track.

Why do I need retainers after treatment?

Teeth can move after active orthodontic treatment. Retainers help maintain their position, with a wear schedule and reviews tailored to you. Tell us promptly if a retainer no longer fits or is damaged.
