Orthodontic Treatment with Braces

Orthodontic treatment at Dr. Ngo Tuan Anh Dental Clinic is not simply about straightening teeth.

It is a comprehensive approach to treating malocclusion at its root, aiming to restore balance between:

Teeth – Occlusion – Temporomandibular joints – Facial harmony and chewing function

We believe that:

• A truly sustainable smile can only be achieved when occlusion is correct and the entire masticatory system functions in harmony.
• MALOCCLUSION – A PROBLEM THAT GOES BEYOND TEETH
• Malocclusion is not merely about crooked or crowded teeth.

Many patients experience:

• Chewing fatigue, jaw pain, facial asymmetry
• Headaches, neck and shoulder tension
• Bruxism during sleep and premature tooth wear
• An unnatural smile and facial imbalance
• Persistent occlusal instability even after orthodontic treatment or ceramic restorations

If teeth are aligned without properly correcting occlusion, the outcome may be:

• Unstable and prone to relapse
• Harmful to the temporomandibular joints (TMD) in the long term

OUR ORTHODONTIC PHILOSOPHY

Functional Orthodontics

Each orthodontic case is designed based on the following principles:

• Comprehensive diagnosis, not template-based treatment
• Function prioritized before aesthetics
• Fully personalized treatment plans for each facial structure and occlusal pattern

Our ultimate goal:

Correct occlusion – Stable function – A harmonious, natural smile

THE ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT PROCESS FOR MALOCCLUSION

1. Comprehensive Examination & Advanced Diagnosis

Before placing braces or clear aligners, the doctor carefully evaluates:

• Occlusion (Class I, II, III; deep bite, open bite, occlusal plane discrepancies)
• Tooth position and eruption direction
• Temporomandibular joint condition and mandibular movement
• Facial proportions, dental axes, and skeletal relationships
• We do not begin with appliances — we begin with the cause of malocclusion.

2. Personalized Treatment Planning

Each patient receives:

• An individualized treatment plan
• A customized force mechanics strategy
• A specific occlusal control roadmap
• There is no “fast orthodontics” or “one-size-fits-all” approach.

3. Selection of the Appropriate Orthodontic Method

Traditional Fixed Braces

Indicated for:

• Moderate to complex malocclusions
• Cases requiring precise force control
• Comprehensive occlusal and jaw correction

Advantages:

• Excellent control of tooth movement
• High effectiveness for complex cases
• Long-term stability

Personalized Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Indicated for:

• Adult patients
• High aesthetic demands
• Mild to moderate malocclusions
• A need for flexibility in daily life and professional activities

Advantages:

• Highly aesthetic and discreet
• Comfortable and easy to maintain oral hygiene
• Ability to preview treatment outcomes
• Note: Clear aligners are indicated by the doctor only when clinically appropriate for each individual case.

4. One-on-One Monitoring & Occlusal Control

Throughout treatment:

• The doctor personally monitors each treatment phase
• Forces are adjusted based on individual biological response
• Occlusion and temporomandibular joint function are controlled simultaneously to minimize pain and relapse

5. Completion – Retention – Long-Term Stability

After appliance removal:

• A comprehensive occlusal reassessment is performed
• Personalized retention appliances are designed
• Periodic follow-ups ensure long-term stability
