What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialty of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of bite problems, tooth positioning, and jaw alignment. Treatment involves the use of appliances (such as braces or clear aligners) to correct these issues and improve overall harmony.
When Should a Child Visit the Orthodontist?
The first orthodontic visit is recommended no later than age 7, even if no visible problems are present.
An orthodontist can detect early irregularities and recommend preventive measures or monitoring if needed.
Do I Have to Be a Teenager to Start Treatment?
No. Orthodontic treatment can begin at any age, as long as oral health is good. Many adults today choose to improve their smiles using modern, discreet treatment options.
What Are the Main Signs That Someone May Need Orthodontic Treatment?
• Crooked or crowded teeth
• Protruding front teeth
• Teeth that do not fit together properly (e.g., open bite or crossbite)
• Difficulty biting, chewing, or speaking
• Habits such as thumb sucking or mouth breathing
Does Orthodontic Treatment Hurt?
Placing the orthodontic appliances is not painful. You may feel mild discomfort or pressure during the first few days, which is completely normal and temporary. Your orthodontist can provide guidance on how to relieve these symptoms.
What Treatment Options Are Available?
The most common options include:

• Fixed braces
• Clear aligners
• Removable appliances for specific cases

Your orthodontist will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual needs.
How Long Does Orthodontic Treatment Last?
The duration varies depending on the type and severity of the problem.
It usually ranges from 18 to 24 months, with regular follow-ups by the orthodontist.
What Should I Be Careful About During Treatment?
• Maintain good oral hygiene (brushing, flossing, mouthwash)
• Avoid hard or sticky foods
• Follow instructions for using elastics or aligners as prescribed
• Attend regular visits to your orthodontist and dentist
What Happens After Orthodontic Treatment Is Completed?
The retention phase is just as important as the active treatment.
Your orthodontist may recommend:

• A fixed retainer wire behind the front teeth
• And/or a removable retainer to be worn at night

The goal is to maintain the results and prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original position.
How Can I Find an Orthodontist in Cyprus?
Through the Society’s website, you can search for certified orthodontists by district or city.
Always choose an orthodontist who is registered in the Orthodontists’ Register of the Cyprus Dental Council.
