ORTHODONTICS
There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear the traditional unsightly metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth.
CLEAR ALIGNERS
This is often a favorable option for adults who have professional careers and don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases.
Teeth straightening is suitable for patients with:

They are more comfortable than traditional braces because they use less force and modern wire technology.
Life Benefits
-
Straighter teeth are healthier teeth.
-
Having an attractive smile will have a positive effect on your confidence.
-
Invisible braces are a long-term investment in your oral health.
An effective long-term solution to straightening your teeth and correcting your bite is orthodontics. Orthodontics is a subspecialty area in dentistry that focuses on aligning and straightening teeth using wires and brackets, applying gentle pressure to the teeth to move them into a particular position. The discipline has advanced over decades and today treatment is a lot faster and more comfortable than it was in the past. Here is an overview of orthodontics:
-
Patients who have problems with their bite and the way their top and bottom teeth line up against each other are good candidates for orthodontic treatment.
-
Impressions, photos and x-rays are taken at the start of treatment to determine the course of action.
-
Brackets are bonded to individual teeth and wires clip onto them that gently guide the teeth into position over time.
-
Good oral hygiene habits are essential during treatment and regular visits are required for check-ups and adjustments.
Life Benefits
-
Straighter teeth are healthier teeth, as there are no gaps for plaque to build up in over time.
-
Having an attractive smile will have a positive effect on your confidence.
-
Orthodontics is a long-term investment in your oral health.
-
Thanks to fixed permanent retention you can be assured that your teeth won't move after treatment is completed.

"Most patients I see are nervous, self-conscious of their teeth and think that nothing can be done. They're always surprised at the options available and how we can help them. Sometimes very little treatment can make such a dramatic change.
The most satisfying part of the job is not only seeing the difference in a person’s teeth, but the difference in the person; more confident, smiling and not worrying about coming to the dentist."
