Orthodontics

Our orthodontic solutions include fast, virtually invisible Invisalign braces for an amazing smile makeover, to longer term treatments to correct irregular bite disorders. Straightening teeth, particularly those in the smile zone, improves dental alignment, smiles and self-confidence. Orthodontic treatment can improve eating and speaking abilities.

Due to modern innovations and procedures, the days of bulky, fixed metal braces are a thing of the past and we use subtle and discreet options that are smaller, easier to wear and more effective.

Fixed braces

These are the most commonly used braces and are suitable for a wide range of conditions. They produce good results because they move teeth very precisely.

We offer a range of fixed orthodontics, which include:

1. Traditional braces. These are composed of wire and brackets, but unlike those of the past, they are smaller and less noticeable.
2. Ceramic (clear) braces. For a less conspicuous solution, ceramic braces are a popular choice, using a translucent ceramic material.

Removable braces

This subtle treatment uses a series of custom-made aligners to gradually move the teeth to a better position.

We offer two types of removable appliances:

• 

  Invisalign clear aligners. It is now increasingly common for patients to request a discreet brace system. The bespoke aligners from Invisalign are transparent and almost impossible to spot, so you can continue smiling and talking with confidence whilst your teeth are being gently repositioned. Invisalign aligners are also removable, allowing you to take them out to eat and drink, floss and brush your teeth. You can also remove the aligners for special occasions – Invisalign therefore fits into your lifestyle very conveniently. Invisalign aligners have no brackets or metal wires that require tightening.

• Myobraces. This system is a preventive pre-orthodontic treatment that focuses on addressing the underlying causes of crooked teeth, unlocking natural growth and development. The treatment is best suited to children aged 3-15 and involves a series of removable intra-oral appliances that are worn 1-2 hours each day plus overnight.

Complex orthodontics

In severe cases, we may provide an orthodontic device or suggest oral surgery to correct a bite or jaw disorder. If you have concerns about your teeth, speak to us. We will listen and do our best to help you.
