Who Can Benefit from Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teens–patients of all ages can benefit from a straighter, healthier smile. If you’re dealing with crooked teeth, crowding, bite issues, or gaps, orthodontic appliances can gently guide your teeth into better alignment over time.

You may be a good candidate if:

Your upper teeth overlap your lower teeth

You have speech issues related to tooth position

You experience jaw pain or trouble chewing

You’re unhappy with the appearance of your smile

Straight teeth do more than look good–they’re easier to clean, which helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues down the road.

Our Orthodontic Services

At The Dental Hub, we personalize every treatment plan to meet your needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals. We’re proud to offer advanced, discreet options that gently guide your teeth into alignment without the need for bulky brackets or wires. It’s orthodontic care that fits your life, not the other way around.

Invisalign

Invisalign® is one of the most popular orthodontic options for both teens and adults who want a discreet, comfortable way to straighten their teeth. The treatment uses a series of custom-made, clear aligner trays that gradually shift your teeth into place over time. The trays are smooth, nearly invisible, and removable—so you can eat, brush, and floss with ease while maintaining great oral health throughout your treatment.
Invisalign is most effective for mild to moderate alignment issues–like gaps, crowding, overbites, and underbites. You’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule regular check-ins to monitor progress and make sure everything is going as planned.

It’s a flexible, low-profile way to straighten your smile without interrupting your daily routine.

Retainers

After your orthodontic treatment, a retainer is key to maintaining your new smile. It helps keep your teeth in their new positions and prevents them from shifting over time. Retainers can either be fixed or removable, and we’ll help you choose the option that best fits your lifestyle.

Our team will also help guide you on how long to wear it each day and how to properly care for it, so your beautiful results last for years to come.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer all the benefits of Invisalign-style treatment, without the brand name. Made from durable, transparent material, these custom trays fit snugly over your teeth to gently guide them into alignment. They’re comfortable, easy to clean, and perfect for patients who prefer a more discreet option.

Just like Invisalign, clear aligners can be removed for meals, brushing, and flossing—giving you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy everyday life while working toward a straighter, healthier smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?

Treatment time can vary depending on your unique needs and the type of appliance used. On average, most orthodontic plans take between 12 and 24 months. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and create a personalized timeline that works for you–so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish.

Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?

Yes—clear aligners can be just as effective as traditional braces for many mild to moderate alignment issues. They work by using controlled, gradual tooth movement–just like braces–but with the added benefit of being removable. That means it’s easier to eat your favorite foods and maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment, all while enjoying a more discreet look.

Do I still need to wear a retainer after treatment?

Yes, wearing a retainer is a key part of maintaining your beautiful new smile. After your orthodontic treatment, a retainer helps keep your teeth in their new position and prevents them from gradually shifting back. We’ll recommend the best type of retainer for your needs adn create a wear schedule that fits your lifestyle.
