Braces & Aligners

Perfectly Aligned Smiles for All Ages
What Are Braces & Aligners?

Braces and aligners are orthodontic tools used to correct misaligned teeth, bite issues, and jaw irregularities. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or bite problems like overbite or underbite, these treatments gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions—improving both function and aesthetics.

At StarShine Dental Clinic, we offer a wide range of braces and clear aligners tailored to your needs, age, and lifestyle. From metal braces to invisible aligners, we help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted with comfort, precision, and confidence.

Who Needs Braces or Aligners?

You may benefit from orthodontic treatment if you have:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite / Underbite / Crossbite
  • Misaligned jaw
  • Difficulty in chewing or speaking
  • Protruding teeth
  • Aesthetic concerns about your smile

Orthodontics isn’t just about appearance—it also improves oral hygiene, speech, and overall dental health.
