Conditions Treated With Orthodontics

What Orthodontic Treatment Can Correct – Conditions We Treat at OraDent Islamabad

Orthodontic treatment is recommended when the alignment of teeth and jaw affects both aesthetics and oral function. At OraDent Islamabad, Dr. Maryam Hafeez (FCPS Ortho) treats the following malocclusion types:

Crowded Teeth

When there is insufficient jaw space for all teeth to erupt correctly – causing teeth to overlap, twist, or push each other out of alignment. Crowding increases the risk of gum disease and tooth decay because proper cleaning between tightly packed teeth is difficult.

Gapped Teeth (Spacing)

Gaps between teeth – caused by missing teeth, small teeth relative to jaw size, or abnormal gum tissue. Spacing can affect chewing efficiency and cause adjacent teeth to drift over time.

Overbite (Deep Bite)

The upper front teeth excessively cover the lower front teeth vertically. A deep overbite can cause lower teeth to bite into the palate, causing wear and jaw discomfort.

Underbite

The lower jaw protrudes forward, causing the lower front teeth to sit in front of the upper front teeth. Underbites affect chewing function, jaw joint health, and facial profile.

Crossbite

One or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth (rather than outside). Crossbites can cause tooth wear, jaw asymmetry, and gum recession if untreated.

Open Bite

Upper and lower front teeth do not meet when biting – leaving a vertical gap. Often caused by thumb sucking habits, tongue thrusting, or skeletal jaw discrepancies.

Jaw Misalignment (Skeletal Discrepancies)

Cases where the jaw itself is positioned incorrectly – not just the teeth. Mild to moderate skeletal discrepancies can often be managed orthodontically; severe cases may require collaboration with our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons at OraDent for combined surgical orthodontic treatment.

Treatment Types

Confident Smile with Custom Treatment Plans

Traditional Metal Braces in Islamabad

Our personalized solution includes traditional metal braces. Metal brackets and wires are used to ideally move your teeth in an aligned position. This method is highly effective for complex alignment problems.

Metal braces are the most affordable and clinically effective orthodontic solution for moderate to severe misalignment, crowding, and bite correction. At OraDent Islamabad, our metal brackets use high grade stainless steel with low friction self ligating options available – requiring fewer adjustments and producing more comfortable tooth movement. Metal braces are attached to the teeth using a tooth colored adhesive and adjusted every 4–6 weeks at our F 8 and I 8 branches.

Metal braces best for: Complex crowding, significant bite correction, children and teenagers, patients seeking the most affordable option.

Treatment duration: 18–30 months depending on complexity.

Cost at OraDent Islamabad: PKR 40,000 – 80,000.

Clear Aligners in Islamabad (ClearPath & Transparent Aligners)

If you are seeking a more discreet solution then an Oradent dental clinic also provides clear aligners. They are comfortable and nearly visible to anyone. The best part about them is that they are removable trays that slowly shift your teeth without brackets and wire.

At OraDent Islamabad, we offer ClearPath aligners – the leading clear aligner system available in Pakistan – as well as other transparent aligner systems suitable for mild to moderate alignment correction. ClearPath aligners are custom fabricated from medical grade polyurethane using digital 3D scanning of your teeth – delivering a series of progressively fitting trays that guide your teeth into their correct positions over 12–18 months.

Clear aligner advantages:

Virtually invisible – no metal brackets or wires
Removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing – no dietary restrictions
Smooth plastic surface – no wire irritation or bracket discomfort
3D digital planning – you can see your projected final result before treatment begins
Fewer clinic visits required (every 6–8 weeks vs. 4–6 weeks for braces)

Clear aligners best for: Mild to moderate crowding and spacing, adults and professionals wanting a discreet option, patients with event based treatment goals (graduations, weddings).

Treatment duration: 12–18 months for most cases.

Cost at OraDent Islamabad: PKR 100,000 – 300,000 depending on case complexity.

Note: Invisalign (the US brand) does not officially distribute in Pakistan. ClearPath and other locally available aligner systems deliver comparable results using the same core technology.

Lingual Braces in Islamabad

We also have custom solutions for people who want hidden braces. We provide lingual braces that are attached behind the teeth. You can get your teeth aligned without being visible from front.

Lingual braces are bonded to the inner (tongue facing) surfaces of the teeth – completely hidden from view when smiling or speaking. They are as effective as conventional metal braces for complex cases but offer complete aesthetic invisibility. Lingual braces require a brief adjustment period as the tongue adapts to the brackets – most patients adjust within 2–4 weeks.

Lingual braces best for: Professionals and adults who want complete bracket invisibility without the compliance demands of removable aligners, complex alignment cases that clear aligners cannot address.

Treatment duration: 18–30 months.

Cost at OraDent Islamabad: PKR 120,000 – 200,000.

Ceramic Braces in Islamabad

Oradent Dental Clinic also offers ceramic braces. They blend with your teeth. Thus, they offer less noticeable but equally effective solutions for teeth alignment.

Ceramic braces use tooth colored or clear ceramic brackets with either a tooth colored or metal wire – making them significantly less noticeable than standard metal braces while offering the same clinical effectiveness. Ceramic brackets bond to teeth using the same technique as metal braces and are adjusted on the same 4–6 week schedule.

Ceramic braces best for: Patients who want a more aesthetic option than metal braces without the cost of lingual braces or the discipline required for aligners (wearing 20–22 hours/day). Popular among university students and working adults.

Treatment duration: 18–28 months.

Cost at OraDent Islamabad: PKR 80,000 – 150,000.

Retainers for Post Treatment Care in Islamabad

Our specialized orthodontics also provide after care once your treatment is done. We offer personalized retainers to maintain the results and prevent further shifting of teeth.

Retainers are the final – and most important – phase of orthodontic treatment. After braces or aligners are removed, teeth have a natural tendency to shift back toward their original positions (relapse). A custom fitted retainer maintains your newly aligned smile permanently.

At OraDent Islamabad, we provide two types of retainers:

Fixed (Bonded) Retainer – A thin wire permanently bonded to the inner surface of the front teeth. Requires no daily effort and provides continuous retention without the risk of forgetting to wear it.

Removable Hawley/Essix Retainer – A custom fitted clear or acrylic retainer worn at night. Allows full cleaning of teeth and periodic orthodontist inspection.

Protocol: Retainers are typically worn full time for the first 3–6 months post treatment, then nightly for life. Skipping retainer wear – even after years – can lead to tooth movement.

Braces for Adults in Islamabad

Adult Braces in Islamabad – It's Never Too Late to Straighten Your Teeth

One of the most common misconceptions about orthodontic treatment in Pakistan is that braces are – only for children. – At OraDent Islamabad, one third of our orthodontic patients are adults– and adult braces are as effective as treatment started in adolescence.

Why adults in Pakistan delay braces:

Social stigma – concern about appearance with metal brackets at work or social events
Belief that treatment won't work after a certain age
Unawareness of discreet options (ceramic braces, lingual braces, clear aligners)
Concern about treatment duration interfering with lifestyle

The truth about adult orthodontics:

There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment – teeth can be moved at any age as long as gums and bone are healthy
Ceramic braces, lingual braces, and clear aligners make adult treatment virtually invisible
Adults often show faster initial response to treatment due to greater compliance with instructions
The investment in adult braces has lifelong functional and aesthetic returns – properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing lifetime dental costs

At OraDent Islamabad, adult orthodontic options include:

Clear aligners (ClearPath) – the most popular choice for working professionals

Ceramic braces – effective and tooth colored, suitable for social and professional environments

Lingual braces – completely hidden, zero visible hardware

Dr. Maryam Hafeez (FCPS Ortho) will assess your specific alignment concern and recommend the most appropriate – and most discreet – solution for your lifestyle and timeline.

Children's Orthodontics in Islamabad – The Right Age to Start

The ideal age to begin orthodontic evaluation is 7–8 years – even though most active treatment begins at 10–13 when permanent teeth have erupted. Early evaluation allows Dr. Maryam Hafeez to identify developing problems before they become complex:

Interceptive (Early) Orthodontics – Ages 7–11:

Certain jaw and bite problems are easier and more effective to correct during active growth – including crossbites, severe overcrowding, protruding front teeth, and jaw width discrepancies. Early treatment (using palatal expanders, habit breaking appliances) can reduce the complexity of later fixed braces treatment.

Comprehensive Orthodontics – Ages 11–16:

Most orthodontic treatment begins when the majority of permanent teeth have erupted. This is the ideal window for metal braces or aligners to correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues as the jaw is still actively growing – making tooth movement faster and more efficient.

Adult Orthodontics – 17 and above:

See Adult Braces section above – fully effective at any age.

Orthodontic Treatment Process

Your Orthodontic Treatment Journey at OraDent Islamabad – Step by Step

Step 1

Initial Orthodontic Consultation

Dr. Maryam Hafeez (FCPS Ortho) performs a full orthodontic examination – assessing teeth position, bite relationship, jaw alignment, and facial profile. Digital photographs, panoramic X ray (OPG), and lateral cephalometric X ray are taken to map your dental and skeletal structure in detail.

Step 2

Digital Treatment Planning & Smile Preview

Using your X rays, impressions, and photographs, a personalized treatment plan is designed – specifying the recommended treatment type (metal, ceramic, lingual braces, or aligners), estimated treatment duration, and projected final tooth position. For aligner cases, a 3D digital preview of your final smile result is provided before you commit.

Step 3

Braces or Aligner Placement

For braces: Brackets are bonded to the front surface of your teeth using a tooth colored dental adhesive. Wires are threaded through the brackets and secured with small elastic ties. The procedure takes 60–90 minutes and is completely painless.

For aligners: Your first set of custom fabricated ClearPath aligner trays is delivered with full instructions for wear (20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking, and cleaning).

Step 4

Adjustment Visits (Every 4–6 Weeks)

For braces: Wire adjustments are made at every visit – gradually increasing the force applied to guide teeth movement. Some tenderness for 24–48 hours after each adjustment is normal and subsides quickly.

For aligners: New trays are provided every 1–2 weeks (worn at home), with clinic check ins every 6–8 weeks to monitor progress and deliver the next stage of trays.

Step 5

Debonding (Braces Removal)

When treatment goals are achieved, brackets are gently removed and the teeth surface is polished. Final photos and X rays are taken for documentation and comparison with baseline records.

Step 6

Retainers – Lifelong Maintenance

Custom retainers (fixed wire and/or removable Essix retainer) are fitted immediately after debonding to prevent relapse. Retainer instructions and a long term maintenance schedule are provided.

Braces Care

How to Care for Your Teeth During Orthodontic Treatment

Maintaining oral hygiene during braces treatment requires extra attention – food particles and plaque accumulate easily around brackets and wires.

Brushing:

Brush after every meal using a soft bristle toothbrush at a 45 degree angle – above and below the brackets
An interdental (proxy) brush cleans between the wire and tooth surface where a regular brush cannot reach
Electric toothbrushes are highly effective for cleaning around brackets

Flossing:

Use an orthodontic floss threader or water flosser to floss between teeth through the archwire
Floss at least once daily – gum disease risk increases significantly without proper inter dental cleaning during braces

Foods to Avoid:

Hard foods: Nuts, hard candy, raw carrots, ice – can break brackets
Sticky foods: Toffee, chewing gum, caramel – can dislodge wires and pull brackets
Biting directly into hard foods: Apples, corn on the cob – cut into small pieces first

For Clear Aligner Wearers:

Remove aligners before eating and drinking anything other than water
Brush teeth before reinserting aligners – food trapped under trays causes decay
Clean aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water

Frequently Asked Questions Orthodontist in Islamabad

Braces cost in Islamabad at OraDent ranges from PKR 40,000–80,000 for metal braces, PKR 80,000–150,000 for ceramic braces, PKR 120,000–200,000 for lingual (hidden) braces, and PKR 100,000–300,000 for clear aligners (ClearPath). The final cost depends on case complexity, treatment type selected, and treatment duration. Full pricing is confirmed at your free initial consultation with Dr. Maryam Hafeez (FCPS Ortho).

Orthodontic treatment duration at OraDent Islamabad ranges from 12 months (mild cases with clear aligners) to 30 months (complex crowding, bite correction with braces). Most patients complete treatment in 18–24 months. Treatment duration is determined at your planning consultation after X ray and bite assessment by our FCPS Orthodontist. Your estimated timeline is confirmed before treatment begins.

Yes – there is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. Teeth can be moved at any age as long as gums and bone are healthy. At OraDent Islamabad, many adult patients choose ceramic braces, lingual braces, or clear aligners for a discreet result. Adults often show excellent compliance and achieve outstanding orthodontic results. Dr. Maryam Hafeez (FCPS Ortho) has extensive experience treating adult patients.

Braces are not painful to place – the bonding procedure is completely painless. Mild soreness for 24–72 hours after each adjustment is normal as teeth respond to new pressure – this is manageable with standard over the counter pain relief. Most patients find discomfort decreases significantly after the first 2–3 adjustment visits as they adapt to the process.

The ideal age for a first orthodontic evaluation is 7–8 years, when developing jaw and bite problems can be identified early. Most active orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners) begins at 11–14 years when permanent teeth have erupted – taking advantage of the active growth phase for faster results. Adults can start at any age with equally effective outcomes.

Invisalign (the US brand) does not officially operate as a brand in Pakistan. However, OraDent Islamabad offers ClearPath aligners – a clinically equivalent clear aligner system that uses the same digital 3D treatment planning and custom fabricated transparent trays to straighten teeth. ClearPath is widely used by FCPS qualified orthodontists across Pakistan and delivers comparable results to Invisalign.

Braces are fixed metal, ceramic, or lingual brackets bonded to teeth – adjusted by the orthodontist at 4–6 week visits. They are highly effective for complex cases and require no patient compliance. Clear aligners are removable transparent trays worn 20–22 hours/day, changed at home every 1–2 weeks. Aligners are discreet and comfortable but require strict patient discipline. Your FCPS Orthodontist at OraDent will recommend the most suitable option after examining your case.

After braces are removed at OraDent Islamabad, a custom retainer is immediately fitted. Retainers are worn full time for 3–6 months post treatment, then nightly for life – preventing teeth from shifting back. Without retainers, orthodontic relapse occurs within weeks to months regardless of how long braces were worn. OraDent provides both fixed bonded retainers and removable Essix retainers.
