Braces or clear aligners – which fits you
Whether you have crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, braces gradually move your teeth into better alignment for a healthier bite and a more confident smile. At NAMS Dental Clinic, we provide personalised braces treatment for children, teenagers, and adults.
Dental braces use gentle, continuous pressure to gradually move teeth into their ideal position. They are one of the most effective orthodontic treatments for correcting crowded teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, and bite problems, delivering predictable, long-lasting results.
Braces work by applying gentle pressure to move your teeth into better alignment over time. Throughout treatment, regular adjustment appointments allow us to monitor your progress and ensure your teeth are moving as planned.
Treatment typically takes 12–24 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
Both braces and clear aligners can effectively straighten teeth, but the right option depends on your dental condition and lifestyle.
We’ll explain the advantages of each treatment during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
