Orthodontics

Braces use small brackets and wires to move your teeth, while clear aligners use a series of removable trays. Both straighten teeth effectively — the right choice depends on your goals, lifestyle, and case complexity.

Treatment time depends on complexity of the case. It often spans over 6 months to 2 years, however it may take longer depending on how much movement is needed and how consistently you follow your plan.

You may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after each adjustment or new aligner set. This is a normal sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

Typically every 4–8 weeks. These visits allow us to check your progress, make adjustments, and ensure everything is tracking well.

Yes. Retainers are essential to keep your teeth in their new positions and prevent relapse. We’ll tailor a retainer plan that suits your needs.

Absolutely. Orthodontics isn’t just for kids or teens — many adults choose braces or clear aligners to improve their smile, bite, and overall dental health.

The cost varies depending on the complexity of your case, the type of treatment, and how long it takes to achieve your ideal result. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear quote before starting. We also offer flexible payment plans to make treatment more manageable and stress-free.

Orthodontic treatment is generally very safe, but like any dental procedure, it carries some risks and temporary side effects. You may experience mild discomfort, pressure, or irritation from braces or aligners, especially after adjustments. In some cases, teeth or roots can shorten slightly (root resorption), gums may become inflamed if oral hygiene isn’t maintained, and there’s a small risk of relapse if retainers aren’t worn as directed. With good care and regular check-ups, these risks are minimal and easily managed.

Both Angel Aligners and Invisalign work in the same way — using a series of clear, custom-made trays to gently move your teeth into position. Invisalign were pioneers in clear aligner therapy, but today there are many advanced systems available that offer the same or even better results. At Park Road Dental, we use Angel Aligners, one of the most trusted and widely used aligner systems worldwide. They’re loved by dentists and specialists for their precision, comfort, and efficiency — helping patients achieve beautiful, predictable results with a smooth and discreet experience.
