ORTHODONTICS
Straightening teeth and correcting bites for children, teens and adults — with braces, clear aligners, and early treatment that can save bigger work later.
More than a straighter smile
Orthodontics is about more than looks. Crooked or crowded teeth, and bites that don’t meet properly, make teeth harder to clean, wear them down unevenly, and can bring on jaw discomfort and gum problems over time.
At Putra Medical Centre we treat children, teens and adults. Every case starts with a proper assessment — examination, imaging and a digital bite scan — and a plan built around your teeth and your face, not a one-size template. Getting alignment right protects long-term oral health; the nicer smile comes with it.
What we help with
Not sure whether you need braces? Start with what's bothering you — we'll give you an honest answer.
Crowded or crooked teeth
Teeth that overlap or sit out of line.
An uneven bite
Overbite, underbite or crossbite that affects how you chew.
Your child's teeth coming in crooked
Early treatment while the jaw is still growing.
A baby tooth lost too early
A space maintainer keeps room for the adult tooth.
Straighter teeth as an adult
It's never too late, and there are discreet options.
Keeping teeth straight after braces
Retainers to hold the result.
What we can do about it
Our orthodontic care falls into five areas. Pick the one that matches your situation.
Catching problems while the jaw is still growing, so later treatment is simpler — or not needed at all.
What this includes
- Early assessment of jaw growth and tooth position
- Growth-guiding appliances
- Space maintainers after a baby tooth is lost early
- Monitoring as the adult teeth come through
Early treatment can reduce the need for complex work — or surgery — later on.
Straightening teeth that are already out of line, using braces or clear aligners.
What this includes
- Metal braces
- Ceramic (tooth-coloured) braces
- Clear aligners
- Correction of overbite, underbite and crossbite
Straightens crowding and corrects bite problems that affect cleaning and wear.
Steering how the jaw develops while a child is still growing, so the bite has room to come right.
What this includes
- Dentofacial orthopaedic appliances
- Monitoring of jaw growth and facial development
- Joint planning with oral & maxillofacial surgery where needed
Shaping growth early lowers the chance of surgical correction in adulthood.
Alignment planned for mature bone — and for adults who would rather it wasn't obvious.
What this includes
- Clear aligners
- Ceramic braces
- Treatment planned around work and daily life
- Attention to facial balance, not just tooth position
Improves both function and confidence, with less visible options available.
Teeth drift back if nothing holds them. Retainers are what makes the result last.
What this includes
- Fixed and removable retainers
- Post-treatment monitoring
- Replacement retainers if one is lost or damaged
Protects the result you have just spent months achieving.
Three ways to straighten teeth
The right choice depends on how much correction you need — and how visible you are happy for it to be.
Metal braces
Complex cases and bigger corrections.
- Fixed brackets and wires
- The most effective option for difficult misalignments
- Usually the most economical
The most visible option.
Ceramic braces
When you want braces to be less noticeable.
- Work the same way as metal braces
- Tooth-coloured brackets
- Fixed in place, so nothing to remember
Discreet, but still fixed.
Clear aligners
Suitable adult and working-professional cases.
- Custom transparent trays that shift teeth gradually
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- Planned digitally, so you can see the expected result
The most discreet option — but only works if worn as instructed.
Your orthodontic journey, step by step
Orthodontic treatment takes months, not minutes. Here is how it runs.
Assessment
Examination, X-rays, a digital scan and bite analysis.
Your plan
Options and a rough timeline, sometimes with a digital simulation of the result.
Fitting
Braces go on, or you get your first set of aligners.
Adjustments
Regular short visits as the teeth move into place.
Retainers
Worn after active treatment to hold everything in position.
