Braces (Orthodontics)
Braces Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about aesthetics; it can also address serious dental alignment issues, improve bite and chewing functionality, and make it easier to clean and maintain healthy teeth. We have an experienced orthodontist who can assess whether you or your child is suitable for traditional braces.

Why Early Braces Orthodontic Treatment Matters?
Early braces orthodontic intervention during a child’s developmental years, when combined with their natural growth, can significantly shorten the treatment duration. We recommend having your child’s teeth assessed by our orthodontist early to seize the optimal time for braces.
Are They Right For You?
At Diestel & Partners, we have an orthodontic specialist who will determine if conventional orthodontic treatment is the right approach for you or your child.
We recommend having your child’s teeth evaluated early on, because we can work with your child’s normal growth patterns in some cases, which may require them to wear their appliances for less time than if we wait until they’re older.
Braces Orthodontic Treatment Process
- Number of Visits: 12–20 (approximately one visit per month)
- Time Required: 1-2 years
- Recovery Time: N/A
After an initial evaluation by a general dentist, patients requiring orthodontic treatment are referred to our orthodontist. A comprehensive assessment will be conducted, including oral scans and 3D simulations. These simulations help predict the expected results of orthodontic treatment and the time required to achieve them. We will also share before-and-after cases of similar patients to provide you with a clear understanding of the potential outcomes.
Once the braces are installed, we will schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.
Depending on the severity of the case, braces are typically worn for 9 months to 2 years. After the braces are removed, retainers must be worn to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original position.
Who is Suitable for Braces Orthodontic Treatment?
Traditional braces are ideal for children or individuals with severe dental alignment issues, such as overcrowded or widely spaced teeth.
For adults with mild to moderate alignment problems, or for those who prefer a more discreet option, Invisalign clear aligners are an excellent alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign Clear Aligners Process
We will arrange a consultation with one of our Invisalign-trained dentists to discuss your goals and evaluate your suitability for Invisalign. The dentist will take photographs and digital scans of your teeth, which will be used to create computer-generated simulations of your potential results after treatment. These visualizations allow you to fully understand the process and address any concerns before starting the treatment.
Your scans will be sent to the Invisalign lab to custom-make your aligners. Once you receive your aligners, you will wear them for 20 hours a day and gradually switch to the next set as instructed, moving your teeth step by step into the desired position. Regular check-ups will be scheduled to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned.
Transforming Your Smile
In addition to braces and regular follow-up appointments, we provide guidance on maintaining oral hygiene during treatment. We also recommend routine teeth cleaning at Distinct Dental Group to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your orthodontic journey.
