Braces & Orthodontics in Da Nang

Treatment duration depends on the complexity of your case. Simple alignment corrections may take 6 to 12 months. Moderate cases take 12 to 18 months. Complex cases involving significant bite correction can take 18 to 24 months. Your Da Nang orthodontist will estimate the timeline during the initial consultation.

Yes, braces correct both alignment (crooked teeth, gaps, crowding) and bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite). In fact, bite correction is one of the primary clinical reasons for orthodontic treatment. Your Da Nang orthodontist will assess both alignment and bite during the consultation and design a treatment plan addressing all issues.

Broken brackets are common and easily repaired at your next adjustment appointment or as an emergency visit. Your clinic will reattach or replace the bracket.
