The aim of orthodontic treatment is to align the teeth and jaws, balance them with the rest of the face, and to improve aesthetics & function.

Orthodontics involves correction of mal-positioned and maligned teeth, straightening of crooked or overcrowded teeth, closing gaps between teeth and correction of incorrect or dysfunctional bites. More and more adults who never had the opportunity as children to have their teeth straightened are turning to orthodontists to improve their smiles.

Those interested in improving their smiles are often surprised to discover that they are able to achieve the result they are hoping for with bleaching and orthodontics instead of veneers. We do recommend orthodontic treatment as part of an aesthetic treatment programme as this will minimise any changes made to existing teeth. Using veneers to straighten teeth can sometimes result in bulky uncomfortable restorations as well as extensive preparation of otherwise healthy teeth.

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out on children or adults, and treatment time is now shorter than ever before, again because of newer materials.

We propose Conventional labial fixed braces, which are the best value, and come in more varieties than ever before. Traditional metal braces are smaller and less obvious than ever, for youngsters we make these with changeable coloured elastics so you can surprise your friends with a different colour after each visit to the dentist.

Ceramic braces are available that are tooth coloured and are very difficult to see.

Crystal brackets are now available which are made from clear crystal, and are virtually invisible as well.

Selection of these types of exterior braces is mostly down to personal preference and budget, as they all are able to achieve similar results in equivalent time scales.

We invite you to come for a free consultation to check your teeth,and receive a professional advice on how to perfect your teeth and smile.
