Doctor, thank you so much! Treating my upper gums has completely transformed my smile. Now, when I laugh or smile wide, my gums look so much cleaner, healthier, and naturally pink instead of being distracted by the dark patches. It’s made a massive difference to my confidence!

What the specialty is
Orthodontics is the specialty that straightens teeth and corrects the bite — the way the upper and lower teeth meet. Using braces or clear aligners, an orthodontist moves teeth gently and predictably into a healthier, better-looking position, and (as dentofacial orthopedics) can guide jaw growth in younger patients. Straight teeth aren’t only more attractive; they are easier to clean, wear more evenly and place less strain on the jaw — so good orthodontics protects your dental health for life.
When you need this specialist?
If your teeth are crowded, gapped, protruding, or have shifted over time.

If your bite feels off — an overbite, underbite or teeth that don’t meet properly — or your jaw clicks or strains.

If you’d like a straighter smile discreetly, with clear aligners, as an adult or a teenager.
How it connects to your treatment at TAM?
At TAM, orthodontics is often the groundwork for a healthier, more lasting result. Well-aligned teeth are easier to keep clean and protect against gum disease and uneven wear, and in many cases aligning the teeth first makes restorative or cosmetic work simpler and more conservative. Our orthodontists plan treatment digitally — frequently showing your projected result before you begin — and design it around international travel, with clear aligners in particular largely monitored remotely. Whatever brings you in, the aim is a bite that works and a smile that lasts, finished and protected with a retainer.
