Why Patients Choose
Bethel Dental Clinic for Orthodontics
Orthodontic care is a long relationship, so the practice you choose matters more than the appliance you wear. Three things set us apart for Accra families weighing braces or Invisalign®.
Trusted by Athletes and Families
Bethel Dental Clinic is the official dental provider for Ghana's National Soccer Team. The same standard of care our country's athletes rely on is available to every family who walks through our Accra office.
Treatment Built Around You
Every plan begins with a conversation about your goals, lifestyle, and oral health. We design the braces or aligner pathway that fits your specific case rather than slot you into a template.
Care Within Your Budget
In-house financing and flexible payment plans help families spread the cost across a comfortable timeline. A confident smile should not be out of reach, and we make sure it never is.
Orthodontics Cost and Financing
The cost of orthodontic treatment in Accra depends on the type of appliance, the complexity of your case, and the length of treatment. Your treatment coordinator walks you through the specific cost during your consultation, before treatment begins.
Bethel Dental Clinic accepts most major dental insurance providers and helps you maximize your coverage. For the balance, we offer in-house financing and flexible payment plans so you can spread the investment across a comfortable timeline. Patients can pay with cash, check, or major cards including American Express®, Discover®, Visa®, and Mastercard®.
The Power of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic care delivers benefits that reach well beyond cosmetics. Aligned teeth protect long-term function and make daily hygiene easier.
Corrected Alignment
When teeth and jaws are properly aligned, your bite force spreads evenly. Chewing becomes easier, jaw discomfort can ease, and the uneven tooth wear that leads to bigger problems is avoided.
Improved Oral Health
Crooked teeth are difficult to brush and floss properly, which invites plaque buildup and decay. Straightening teeth gives you cleaner access to every surface, so your hygiene becomes more effective.
Boosted Confidence
A straighter, more vibrant smile changes how patients carry themselves in social and professional settings. Most patients tell us they feel more confident the moment their smile is finished.
What Can Orthodontics Correct?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects the position of the teeth, jaws, and bite patterns. Using braces, clear aligners, and retainers, a dentist or orthodontist can develop a plan to refine your smile's alignment so you can reap a variety of benefits. Orthodontics can address many common dental concerns, such as:
- Crooked teeth
- Underbite
- Overbite
- Crossbite
- Gaps between teeth
- Crowded teeth
Invisalign vs. Braces: Which Is Right for Me?
Each dentist in Accra, Ghana, at our office offers two orthodontic paths: traditional braces and Invisalign®. Your dentist will weigh several factors when helping you choose the right route.
Severity of Issue
Clear aligners like Invisalign address mild to moderate orthodontic issues. More severe concerns are usually better resolved with braces.
Patient Responsibility
Invisalign requires consistency. Aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day to track the planned movement.
Oral Health
Patients should be free of active gum disease and tooth decay before orthodontic treatment begins.
Age of Patient
Braces work at any age. Invisalign is recommended for responsible teens and adults.
Straighten Your Teeth With Braces
Traditional braces are a fixed appliance that helps children and adults correct misaligned teeth, including the most severe cases. Metal wires and brackets attach to each tooth and gradually move them into better alignment. After placement, patients return to our Accra office every 4 to 6 weeks for a gentle tightening.
Whether you are correcting bite issues, closing gaps, or aligning severely crooked teeth, our team in Accra provides personalized treatment and ongoing support to deliver outstanding results.
Severe Misalignment
While clear aligners address mild to moderate cases, braces can resolve severe misalignment. Minor concerns may resolve in 6 to 8 months, and severe cases may take 18 to 24 months or longer.
Effective at Every Age
Braces are effective for children and adults alike. They are often recommended for younger patients because the fixed appliance leaves less room for error than a removable aligner.
Maintaining a Straighter, Healthier Smile
After orthodontic treatment with our Accra dentists, a few habits keep your new smile in place.
Wear a Retainer
A retainer holds teeth in their new positions. Without one, teeth tend to drift back. If you completed treatment with braces, we may provide a retainer at the end of care. Invisalign patients can often use the final aligner set as their retainer.
Daily Hygiene Routine
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use mouthwash regularly. Strong hygiene habits guard against decay and the gum problems that can undo orthodontic results.
Twice-Yearly Checkups
Routine checkups let our team confirm teeth are holding alignment and catch any concerns early, before they become larger and more expensive.
Dentist vs. Orthodontist
An orthodontist is someone who specializes in the alignment of the teeth and jaws, diagnosing and treating any irregularities. A dentist has a general knowledge of all fields of dentistry, including orthodontics. While some dentists may refer you to an orthodontist for treatment, our dentists can provide orthodontics from our office, so you don't have to familiarize yourself with another dental professional. We have everything you need under one roof.
