Straighten Your Smile,
Align Your Future.
Correct misaligned teeth, fix overbites, and boost your confidence with our comprehensive range of braces. From traditional metal to invisible aligners, we design smiles that last a lifetime.
More Than Just a Cosmetic Fix
Many patients visit Shova Dental Care believing braces are solely for aesthetics. While a straight smile is beautiful, the medical benefits of orthodontics are equally profound. Misaligned teeth, or “malocclusion,” can lead to a host of long-term health issues that go unnoticed until pain arises.
The Hidden Dangers of Crooked Teeth:
When teeth are crowded or overlapping, they create “plaque traps”—tight spaces that toothbrush bristles and floss simply cannot reach. This makes you significantly more prone to cavities and periodontal (gum) disease. Furthermore, a misaligned bite places uneven pressure on your jaw joint (TMJ), often leading to chronic headaches, jaw clicking, and even neck pain.
Orthodontic treatment repositions the teeth and aligns the jaws to create a healthy, functional bite. This improves chewing efficiency, aids digestion, and ensures your teeth wear down evenly over time. Whether you are 12 or 50, it is never too late to invest in the structural integrity of your smile.
Customized Solutions for Every Lifestyle
Gone are the days when “train track” metal braces were your only option. Modern orthodontics offers discreet and comfortable alternatives. During your consultation, we assess your facial structure and lifestyle to recommend the perfect system—whether that’s the robust control of metal braces or the near-invisibility of clear aligners.
Our Treatment Options
-
1Traditional Metal Braces The most affordable and effective option for complex corrections. Modern brackets are smaller and more comfortable than ever.
-
2Ceramic (Clear) Braces Tooth-colored brackets that blend in with your smile. Ideal for adults who want effective treatment with less visibility.
-
3Self-Ligating Braces Advanced brackets that use a sliding door mechanism instead of elastic bands, resulting in less friction and faster movement.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before bonding braces, your teeth must be perfectly clean and healthy. We always perform a thorough Scaling & Polishing and treat any existing decay to ensure a solid foundation.

Orthodontics is a marathon, not a sprint. Here is what to expect.
1. Analysis & Planning
Precision starts here. We take panoramic X-rays (OPG) and Cephalograms to analyze your jaw alignment. We also take digital photographs and impressions (molds) of your teeth. Our orthodontist calculates the exact force vectors needed to move your teeth safely.
2. Bonding Day
The big day! We condition your tooth enamel and bond the brackets using a special dental adhesive. A flexible archwire is threaded through the brackets. You might feel some tightness, but the process itself is painless.
3. Monthly Adjustments
Every 4 to 6 weeks, you will visit Shova Dental Care for adjustments. We may change the wires to stronger ones or add elastic bands to correct your bite. These visits are crucial—missing them can extend your treatment time significantly.
4. The Big Reveal & Retention
Once your teeth are perfectly aligned, we remove the brackets and polish off the adhesive. To ensure your teeth don’t shift back (relapse), we provide custom Retainers (fixed or removable). Wearing your retainer is key to keeping that smile forever.
Life with Braces: A Survivor’s Guide
Proper tools make cleaning easy
Adjusting to life with braces takes a little time, but with the right habits, it becomes second nature. The most important change will be in your diet and hygiene routine.
Foods to Avoid:
- Sticky Foods: Caramel, chewing gum, and sticky chocolates can pull brackets off.
- Hard Foods: Whole apples, raw carrots, corn on the cob (cut them off the cob first!), and crusty bread.
- Crunchy Snacks: Popcorn and nuts can break wires.
Hygiene is Non-Negotiable:
Brushing with braces requires patience. You must brush above and below the wire to remove plaque. We recommend using:
- Interdental Brushes: Tiny brushes to clean between the wire and the tooth.
- Superfloss: Specialized floss with a stiff end to thread under the wire.
- Fluoride Mouthwash: To strengthen enamel against acid attacks.
Tip for Comfort: If a wire or bracket irritates your cheek, apply the orthodontic wax we provide to create a smooth buffer. The tissue will toughen up within a week or two.

Orthodontic FAQs
Common questions about getting braces in Dhaka.
The ideal age for an initial orthodontic evaluation is 7 years old. At this age, we can spot potential issues with jaw growth. However, most treatment begins between ages 10 and 14. That said, healthy teeth can be moved at any age! We treat many adults in their 20s, 30s, and beyond.
The application process is painless. However, you will feel soreness and pressure for 3-5 days after the initial bonding and after monthly adjustments. This is a good sign that your teeth are moving! Over-the-counter pain relievers and a soft diet (soups, yogurt) help manage this easily.
Treatment time varies based on the complexity of the problem. Simple cases may take 12 months, while complex bite corrections can take 18 to 24 months. Following your orthodontist’s instructions regarding diet and elastics is the best way to ensure you finish on time.
Braces are actually an excellent preparatory step for tooth replacement. We can use braces to open up the correct amount of space for Dental Implants, ensuring the final result looks natural and functions perfectly.
