Services
Adult Orthodontics
Specialised orthodontic treatment for adults seeking improved dental alignment and bite correction. Our practice offers discreet options including clear braces and removable aligners that fit modern lifestyles. Treatment plans consider adult-specific factors like existing dental work and gum health, with flexible scheduling to accommodate professional and personal commitments.
Clear Aligners
Nearly invisible orthodontic treatment using custom-made aligner trays that gradually straighten teeth. We offer both Invisalign and Spark Clear Aligner systems with computer-generated treatment planning. This removable solution allows normal eating and oral hygiene routines while achieving aesthetic smile improvements for suitable candidates.
Traditional Metal Braces
Proven orthodontic treatment using modern, smaller metal brackets for precise tooth movement. Ideal for complex cases requiring significant alignment or bite correction. Our customised approach ensures comfort and effectiveness, with optional colour-coordinated elastic ties for personalisation during treatment visits.
Early Treatment
Specialised orthodontic assessment and intervention for children aged 7 and above. Our team monitors dental development to address potential issues early, potentially reducing future treatment complexity. This proactive approach optimises jaw growth and tooth eruption patterns to create space for permanent teeth.
Retainers
Custom-fitted dental appliances to maintain teeth position following orthodontic treatment. We provide both removable and fixed retainer options with detailed care instructions. Our retention protocol includes gradual weaning plans to ensure long-term stability of treatment results while maintaining oral health.
