Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment is used to improve the appearance, position and function of crooked or abnormally arranged teeth.

Who needs orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic care is suitable for people of all ages who have crowded, crooked, or misaligned teeth. These issues can affect both appearance and function, sometimes placing strain on jaw muscles or making cleaning more difficult.

While orthodontics is often associated with younger patients, many adults now choose treatment to improve their confidence and achieve better smiles.

What does orthodontic treatment involve?

Orthodontic treatment uses braces or removable aligners to gradually reposition teeth and the exact treatment plan depends on your individual needs. Treatment time varies from as little as 3 months for minor cosmetic adjustments to around 24 months for more complex cases or where bite correction and extractions are required.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a leading, modern treatment for straightening teeth, offering a more comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces.

The treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners made from ultra-lightweight plastic. Each set is custom-made for your teeth in a specialist laboratory and fitted at our practice. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth gradually move into their ideal positions. Worn throughout the day and night, Invisalign® aligners work gently and effectively to straighten and align your teeth - helping you achieve a beautifully balanced result without the need for metal wires or brackets.
