Orthodontics 

  Making Smiles Straight For Adults And Children

What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment is usually aimed at straightening teeth and correcting bite problems. This generally involves wearing braces, which can be either fixed or removable. Both children and adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Why Is Orthodontics Important?
A pleasing smile is important for your well-being and will give you the confidence to achieve your goals in life. Straight teeth are easier to clean and will aid in saving your teeth for life. A good bite will preserve the integrity of the tooth enamel and prevent jaw joint problems.

What Are Braces?
Braces are the appliances which the Orthodontist uses to align your teeth and improve your bite. They can either be removable or fixed (train-tracks). Many other types are available and are used for specific problems.

Are There Any Cosmetic Options?                                                    Cosmetic options for straightening teeth include Ceramic 'Tooth Coloured' Brackets for fixed braces and Removable, Clear, Invisible INVISALIGN braces. Not all types of brace are suitable for all people and this will be discussed with you at your initial consultation.

How Long Does Treatment Take?
Simple treatment with a removable appliance can take as little as four to six months. More comprehensive treatment with fixed appliances takes between fifteen and eighteen months but can be as long as two years. You will need to visit the practice every 6 to 8 weeks during treatment.
