Single vs Dual Arch: Which Is Right for You?

What's the Difference?

Single arch treatment straightens either your upper or lower teeth. Dual arch treatment addresses both. The right choice depends on your individual case.

When Single Arch Works

If only one arch has noticeable crowding or spacing, single arch treatment can be a cost-effective solution. However, your dentist will need to assess whether moving one arch alone will affect your bite.

Why Dual Arch Is Often Recommended

Most patients benefit from dual arch treatment because moving both sets of teeth together ensures a balanced bite and the best aesthetic result. Your dentist will advise during your free consultation.
