"Braces or aligners?" is usually the first question people ask, when the better first question is what your teeth and bite actually need. At Dental Touch, every case starts with a clinical evaluation of crowding, spacing and bite before recommending an appliance — the option we suggest is based on your case, not on what's easiest to sell.
We offer traditional metal and ceramic braces, ilingual (behind-the-teeth) options, and clear aligners, along with early orthodontic care for children and full retention plans once treatment ends. Every plan is personalised: the appliance, the timeline and the review schedule are matched to your case, not a fixed catalogue price.
Our approach is simple: assess your bite honestly, explain what braces and aligners can and can't each do for your specific case, and track your progress visibly through every stage of treatment.
🦷 Crowded, crooked or overlapping teeth
↔️ Noticeable gaps between teeth
📐 An overbite, underbite or crossbite
🗣️ Difficulty biting, chewing or speaking clearly
😬 Jaw discomfort linked to bite misalignment
🙂 Self-conscious about smiling due to alignment
Between dental chains and budget aligner kiosks, it's easy to end up with an appliance that isn't right for your bite. Here's how a Dental Touch consultation is different.

Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers to hold your new alignment in place once active treatment ends.
🚨
Emergency Bracket & Wire Repair
Prompt fixes for a broken bracket, poking wire or loose band so treatment stays on track.

Progress Reviews
Regular in-person checkups to adjust braces or issue the next set of aligners, and track how your bite is moving.
Every case at Dental Touch is planned by a trained clinician under doctor supervision, starting with a proper bite assessment rather than an assumption about which appliance you'll want.

Q1. Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. Dental Touch offers a free bite and smile assessment with an expert doctor before you decide between braces and aligners.
Q2. Are aligners as effective as braces?
For many cases, yes, but complex bite corrections sometimes respond better to braces. Your doctor will recommend based on your specific case rather than a general rule.
Q3. How long does treatment usually take?
This depends on how much correction is needed and which appliance is used. Your doctor will outline an expected timeline during your assessment, and progress is tracked at every visit.
Q4. Am I too old for braces or aligners?
No. Orthodontic treatment works at almost any age once your gums and jaw are assessed as healthy. Many of our patients are adults.
Q5. Do braces or aligners hurt?
Some mild pressure or soreness is normal for a few days after adjustments or a new aligner set, but it isn't sharp pain. Your doctor will explain what to expect.
Q6. What happens if a bracket breaks or a wire pokes?
Contact us for a prompt repair visit. Ignoring a broken bracket or poking wire can slow your progress or cause irritation.
Q7. Will I need a retainer after treatment?
Yes, a retainer phase follows both braces and aligner treatment to hold your new alignment in place, along with periodic follow-up reviews.
Q8. Do I need a referral to consult at Dental Touch?
No. You can book a free consultation directly, either online or by calling us — no referral needed.
