Services
Braces
Traditional metal braces offer a durable, cost-effective solution for straightening teeth. Elastic ties secure arch wires, with adjustable colours for personalisation. Ideal for patients seeking efficient, visible results through regular orthodontic adjustments.
Clear Braces
Clear braces use ceramic materials to blend discreetly with teeth. While stronger than traditional options, they require careful handling. Perfect for patients prioritising aesthetics without compromising treatment effectiveness during orthodontic care.
Invisalign
Invisalign employs removable, transparent aligners for gradual teeth alignment. Patients replace aligners every two weeks, allowing flexibility in eating and cleaning. A comfortable, nearly invisible option for achieving a straighter smile discreetly.
After Braces
Post-braces care involves retainers to maintain corrected tooth positions. Options include removable or fixed retainers, ensuring long-term stability. Proper retention prevents shifting, preserving the results of orthodontic treatment for years to come.
Orthodontic Consultations
Comprehensive consultations include dental imaging, examinations, and treatment planning. Early evaluations help determine optimal start times for interventions, ensuring tailored strategies to address individual orthodontic needs effectively.
