We offer Metal Braces, Ceramic Braces, Self-Ligating Braces, Damon Braces, and Clear Aligners. During your consultation, we will recommend the most suitable option based on your teeth, bite, and budget.
Since the orthodontist is regularly available at the clinic, missed appointments can usually be rescheduled promptly, helping to minimize unnecessary treatment delays.
Children should ideally have their first orthodontic evaluation around 7 years of age, but braces can be started whenever appropriate. Adults can also benefit from orthodontic treatment.
Yes. There is no upper age limit for braces as long as the teeth and gums are healthy.
Most patients visit every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the stage of treatment.
Avoid hard, sticky, and very crunchy foods such as ice, hard candies, popcorn kernels, and chewing gum, as they may damage the braces.
Regular access to your orthodontist means adjustments, repairs, and emergency visits can often be managed sooner, helping treatment stay on schedule and making the overall experience more convenient.
In many cases, yes—but it depends on your individual bite, facial profile, amount of crowding, and treatment goals. While some patients genuinely require premolar extractions to achieve a stable and healthy result, carefully selected cases can often be treated without extractions using advanced orthodontic techniques. At MDS Dental Care & Orthodontics, non-extraction treatment options such as the Damon® self-ligating braces system and Skeletal Anchorage Systems (TADs/mini-implants) are available when clinically appropriate. These techniques can provide better control of tooth movement and may help reduce overjet without removing teeth in suitable cases. After a detailed clinical examination, photographs, X-rays, and study records, the orthodontist will recommend the treatment option that is best for your specific condition.
Yes. Invisalign® clear aligner treatment is available at MDS Dental Care & Orthodontics. After a detailed clinical examination and digital treatment planning, we determine whether Invisalign is the right option for your specific orthodontic needs.
Invisalign is a system of custom-made, transparent aligners that gradually move teeth into their desired position. The aligners are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and floss while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
Yes. Invisalign treatment is available at MDS Dental Care & Orthodontics, and patients have been successfully treated using the Invisalign system.
Invisalign is highly effective for many mild to complex orthodontic cases when used as prescribed. The choice between Invisalign and braces depends on your dental condition, treatment objectives, and your commitment to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20–22 hours per day.
We use the OSSTEM implant system, a globally trusted brand known for reliable, long-term outcomes — giving you a well-researched, widely-used option rather than a lesser-known alternative.
We maintain a full range of implant sizes and types in-clinic, so in most cases treatment isn’t delayed waiting for a specific implant to arrive.
Implant placement is done using an NSK Physiodispenser — a precision surgical motor system that allows controlled, accurate drilling and torque during placement, reducing trauma and improving accuracy.
The clinic maintains the complete surgical armamentarium needed for implant procedures — instruments, implant kit, and materials — so your entire implant journey, from placement to follow-up, is handled in-house.
“CBCT scans are done at a partnered imaging centre nearby — we coordinate the referral so it’s quick and hassle-free, and your implant planning is based directly on those scans before treatment begins.”
