Patient Guide

Orthodontics should support your smile, bite, and long-term dentistry.

Orthodontic treatment can improve tooth position, smile balance, cleaning access, and bite comfort. Depending on the case, that may involve braces, aligners, or a more comprehensive bite plan.

At Astra Dental, orthodontic conversations often happen alongside cosmetic or restorative planning. Sometimes moving teeth first helps veneers, crowns, implants, or bonding look better, feel more natural, and last longer.

Dr. Ledjo Palo supports orthodontic care for patients who want a specialist's view on tooth movement, bite correction, braces, and aligner options. His own experience with braces and aligners shaped the way he explains treatment in practical, confidence-focused terms.

The first step is learning whether your bite, gum health, tooth position, and goals make orthodontics the right move before other dental work.

Common Questions

Orthodontics FAQ

Do adults get orthodontic treatment?

Yes. Many adults consider braces or aligners to improve smile appearance, tooth position, cleaning access, and bite comfort.

Can orthodontics help before veneers?

Often, yes. Moving teeth first can reduce how much restorative treatment is needed and help veneers, crowns, or bonding look more natural.

Is orthodontic treatment only cosmetic?

No. Alignment can affect cleaning, bite forces, tooth wear, restorative space, and long-term stability.

Can I get aligners before implants?

Sometimes alignment is recommended before implants so spacing and bite are correct before the final tooth replacement.
