🧱 Crowding
Not enough room, so teeth overlap or twist. Crowded teeth trap plaque and are harder to keep healthy.

🧩 What orthodontics can correct
It’s not only about looks
Straighter teeth are easier to clean, wear more evenly and put less strain on the jaw.
↔️ Gaps
Spaces between teeth, often at the front. They can sometimes be closed with braces alone.
⬆️ Overbite & overjet
Upper front teeth sit too far over or in front of the lower ones, which can make them more prone to injury.
⬇️ Underbite
Lower teeth sit in front of the upper teeth when you bite together.
❌ Crossbite
Some upper teeth sit inside the lower ones, which can wear teeth unevenly or shift the jaw.
⭕ Open bite
Front teeth don’t meet when the back teeth are together, which makes biting into food difficult.
📋 Types of orthodontic treatment
Different ways to move teeth
Which approach suits you depends on your teeth, your bite and your lifestyle. At your assessment, Dr. Farooq will explain which options fit your case and why.
🔩 Metal braces
Small brackets bonded to the teeth with a wire that is adjusted over time. Strong, reliable and suited to most problems, including complex ones.
🤍 Tooth-coloured (ceramic) braces
Work the same way as metal braces, with brackets that blend in with the teeth. Popular with adults.
🫧 Clear aligners
A series of removable, nearly invisible trays, each moving the teeth a little. Best for mild to moderate problems, and they only work if worn for most of the day.
🔒 Retainers
Fixed wires or removable retainers that hold teeth in their new position after treatment. Without them, teeth tend to drift back.
🛠️ Step by step
How orthodontic treatment works
1🔍
Assessment
An examination, X-rays and photographs show how the teeth and jaws relate, and whether any teeth need treatment first.
2🗺️
Your plan
We explain what can be corrected, the options that suit you, how long it should take, and a clear quote.
3🔧
Fitting
Braces are bonded in one visit, or your first set of aligners is fitted. Teeth may feel sore for a few days.
4📅
Regular adjustments
Visits every 4–6 weeks to adjust the wires or move to the next aligners, and check that your teeth and gums are healthy.
5🎉
Braces off
Once your teeth are in position, the braces are removed and the teeth are polished.
6🔒
Retention
Retainers keep the result. Wearing them as advised is what makes straight teeth stay straight.
👨⚕️ Why patients choose Dr. Farooq
One clinic for the whole journey
Orthodontic treatment runs for months, so continuity matters. At Zenith your braces are planned and reviewed under Dr. Farooq (BDS, FAGE), who has led the clinic for 26 years. Cleaning, fillings or extractions needed along the way are done in the same clinic, by the same team.
Before you start, you’ll know what can realistically be achieved, how long it should take and what it involves. If braces aren’t the right answer for you, we’ll say so.

⚠️ Good to know
Living with braces
- Soreness: teeth usually ache for a few days after fitting and after adjustments. Soft food and ordinary painkillers help.
- Cleaning: brackets trap food, and poor cleaning can leave white marks or decay. Brush after meals and use the interdental brushes we show you.
- Food: avoid hard, sticky and chewy foods that can break brackets, such as hard sweets, chewing gum and corn on the cob.
- Gums and roots: we check your gum health throughout, because healthy gums are essential for moving teeth safely.
🔧 Call us if
- A bracket comes loose or a wire is poking your cheek.
- An aligner cracks or no longer fits.
- You lose your retainer. Don’t wait, because teeth can move back quickly.

❓ Questions patients ask
Braces FAQs
Am I too old for braces?
No. Adults can have orthodontic treatment too. Healthy gums and bone matter more than age. Treatment may take a little longer in adults.
At what age should children be checked?
An early check around age 7–10 helps spot problems with jaw growth or crowding. Most braces are fitted once the adult teeth have come through, usually from about 11–14.
Do braces hurt?
Fitting doesn’t hurt. Teeth usually feel tender for a few days afterwards and after each adjustment. That’s normal and settles on its own.
Braces or clear aligners: which is better?
It depends on the problem. Fixed braces handle the widest range of cases. Aligners suit milder problems and need discipline, since they must be worn about 20–22 hours a day. We’ll recommend what fits your teeth.
Will my teeth move back after braces?
They can, which is why retainers matter. Wearing your retainer as advised keeps the result.
How much do braces cost?
We don’t publish price lists, because cost depends on the problem, the type of treatment and how long it takes. You’ll get a clear quote after your assessment, and the consultation is free when you go ahead with treatment.
