Small gap, a bit of crowding, or teeth that shifted after your old braces? At PRALASH Dermystique & Dentique, HRBR Layout, minor orthodontic correction fixes limited alignment issues faster and more affordably than starting full treatment over.
Minor orthodontic correction is short-term, targeted treatment for small alignment problems. It isn't a separate technique so much as a smaller, faster application of the same aligner and bracket technology used in full orthodontic treatment — focused on just the teeth that need to move.
It's not the right fit for everyone. If your bite doesn't close correctly or your jaw is involved, that needs full orthodontic treatment or, in some cases, care for a jaw joint issue — we'll always tell you plainly which category your case falls into before starting anything.
We review exactly what's shifted or bothering you, and confirm your bite is otherwise healthy.
A scan of the teeth involved is taken to plan the limited movement that's actually needed.
Only the teeth that need to move are mapped out, keeping the plan small, honest and fast.
A limited series of aligners, or brackets on select teeth only, are fitted to begin correction.
Short check-ins confirm teeth are tracking to plan — far fewer visits than full treatment.
A retainer is fitted immediately once correction is complete, so the result actually holds.
A limited series of clear aligner trays — often 10 to 20 — to shift only the teeth that need it, in a fraction of the time of full treatment.
Brackets placed on a handful of teeth rather than the full arch, for crowding or rotation confined to a small area.
Targeted treatment for teeth that have drifted since your last course of braces or aligners, especially with inconsistent retainer wear.
A short, focused course to tidy up minor spacing or rotation before a wedding or other event with a firm date.
Weeks to a few months, instead of a year or more for comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
Fewer aligners or brackets are needed, which keeps the cost below starting full treatment.
Short-course aligners or limited brackets fit into daily life with little adjustment.
Corrects teeth that have shifted after old orthodontic treatment without redoing everything.
If your case actually needs full treatment, we'll say so rather than trying to solve it with a shortcut.
Minor correction is usually a good fit if you have:
Cost depends on how many teeth are involved and how far they need to move. A written estimate follows your assessment.
10–20 aligners — mild crowding, small gaps or relapse, typically 2–6 months.
Priced once the specific teeth and movement needed are confirmed at assessment.
We only recommend minor correction when it's genuinely the right fit — not as a shortcut around treatment you actually need.
Focused, limited treatment plans designed to finish in months, not years.
Short-course clear aligners or sectional fixed braces, matched to your specific case.
