Why it matters
Your bite is
more than looks
Most patients come to an orthodontist because they want straight teeth. That is honest and reasonable. But a correct bite is also a matter of health.
A bad bite wears teeth unevenly. It overloads the jaw joints (TMJ). It makes cleaning harder — tartar hides between crooked teeth. It even affects your posture and voice.
Preserving your teethStraight teeth wear evenly. A bad bite means premature wear and chipping.
Easier cleaningCrooked teeth are harder to clean — bacteria gather where the brush cannot reach. Straight teeth mean fewer cavities.
Healthy jointsA faulty occlusion is a common cause of jaw joint pain, clicking and headaches.
ConfidenceA smile you are proud of is no small thing. It shapes how you speak to people and how you see yourself.
When is the best time to start
6–9
First orthodontic check-up
Preventive appliances, bite assessment, early correction
12+
Braces for teenagers
The permanent teeth have come through — the best time for braces
18+
Adults — at any age
Orthodontics has no age limit. Aligners suit adults particularly well
"Braces are not for adults" is a myth
Age is not a contraindication. We treat patients in their forties and beyond. The only difference from teenagers is a slightly longer treatment time.
The main choice
Braces vs Clear aligners
Both methods work. The difference lies in convenience, discipline and the clinical situation. The orthodontist will recommend the best option after an examination.
The classic
Braces
A fixed appliance · bonded to the teeth
from UAH 15 900 / jaw
Advantages
Effective for complex problems
They do not depend on the patient's discipline
Precise control over the movement of each tooth
The more affordable option (metal)
Effective for children
Things to consider
Visible when you talk (metal)
Cleaning around the brackets is harder
Some food restrictions (nuts, toffee)
They may rub the cheek for the first month
When an orthodontist chooses bracesComplex skeletal problems, badly rotated teeth, children's orthodontics, cases where the patient's discipline is in doubt, and situations demanding maximum control
The modern approach
Clear aligners
Removable clear trays · a series of 20+ sets
from $2 200 full course
Advantages
Almost invisible — they are transparent
You take them out to eat and to brush
The result is modelled in 3D before you start
Fewer visits to the clinic
More comfortable — no metal wires
Things to consider
They must be worn 22 hours a day — discipline is essential
Complex skeletal problems — not always suitable
More expensive than metal braces
Usually not suitable for children under 12
When an orthodontist chooses alignersAdults with moderate bite problems, an active social or professional life, cases where appearance during treatment matters, and patients with good discipline
Not sure which to choose? The orthodontist will tell you after an examination — that decision is theirs, not yours.

They do not stain (though the ligatures can)
As effective as metal braces
A popular choice for busy adults
Fewer visits
Self-ligating metal
UAH 17 500 / jaw
A clip instead of ligatures — less friction
Adjustment visits are needed less often
Less discomfort at the start
Effective for badly rotated teeth
The premium choice
Self-ligating ceramic
UAH 24 500 / jaw
The least noticeable of all braces
Less friction plus the aesthetics of ceramic
A comfortable choice for busy adults
Fewer adjustment visits
Prices are given per one jaw. Most patients treat both, so the total doubles. The exact price and duration are set after the first examination and diagnosis.
How treatment goes
From the first visit to the result
01
Day 1
Consultation
Examination, photographs, an X-ray or CT scan. The orthodontist makes a diagnosis and proposes a plan
02
1–2 weeks
Preparation
A professional cleaning and any fillings needed. Photographs, impressions or a digital scan
03
Fitting day
Braces / aligners
The braces are bonded on, or the first trays are handed over. The first month is about getting used to them
04
Every 4–8 weeks
Adjustments
The archwire is changed or new trays are issued. The teeth move gradually
05
12–24 months
Braces come off
The appliance is removed, the teeth polished, and a retainer is made
06
Forever
The retention period
The retainer holds the result. Without it the teeth want to drift back

Answers to what matters
What is on your mind
Does fitting braces hurt?
Bonding them on is painless. For the first three to five days after fitting, and after each adjustment, chewing aches. That is normal — take ordinary ibuprofen if you need to. Most patients get used to braces within two to four weeks.
Braces after 30 — is that normal?
Entirely normal. We treat patients between 25 and 45. Age is not a contraindication. The only difference is that adult bone is denser, so treatment may take a little longer. The result is the same.
Will braces turn my teeth yellow?
The braces themselves do not stain teeth. Yellowing comes from poor cleaning around the brackets, where plaque builds up. The answer is an irrigator, interdental brushes and regular professional cleaning. We show every patient how to brush properly with braces.
Aligners — what if I forget to put them back in?
Twenty-two hours a day is the key requirement. Wear them less and the teeth do not move to plan, and treatment drags on. Most patients take them out only to eat and brush — one or two hours. The rest of the time they are in. If self-discipline is doubtful, braces are the better choice.
Will my teeth move back after the braces come off?
Without a retainer, yes — it is called relapse. A retainer (fixed or removable) is a mandatory part of orthodontic treatment. A fixed retainer is bonded to the inner surface of the teeth and is not felt at all.
My child is 8 — is that too early for an orthodontist?
No, it is not too early. The first orthodontic check-up is recommended between six and nine. At that stage bite problems can be spotted and corrected with simple appliances, while the bones are still growing and respond far more easily.
Frequently asked questions
Questions and answers
Orthodontic treatment at Houston starts from UAH 15 900 per jaw. The exact price depends on the system (braces or aligners) and the complexity of the case; we set it at the consultation after the diagnosis.
Brush after every meal — at least twice a day. Use interdental brushes to clean between the teeth and under the wires. An irrigator is the best helper with braces. A professional cleaning every three to four months is essential.
Hard things: whole nuts, rusks, bones, boiled sweets. Sticky things: toffee, chewing gum, crisps. Cut apples and carrots into pieces rather than biting them. Soft food is unrestricted. The rule is simple: do not let food pull a bracket off.
Yes — ordinary sport is unrestricted. For contact martial arts you need a protective mouthguard worn over the braces (available in sports shops). Swimming is fine. Wrestling and boxing without protection put both the braces and your teeth at risk.
Not always. Extractions (usually the first premolars) are only prescribed for severe crowding or protrusion. Modern orthodontics avoids extractions wherever possible. The orthodontist decides after studying the radiographs and impressions.
At normal conversational distance they are practically invisible. In photographs they show if you look closely. "Invisible" is marketing hyperbole, but "almost unnoticeable" is true. Most people never realise you are wearing them.
Yes, and that is often the correct order: orthodontics first, to create the right space for the implant, then the implant. Placing an implant before orthodontics is risky, because an implant does not move with the teeth. We plan the whole treatment in advance.
