Do you want to correct your misaligned, crooked, crowded or missing teeth? Orthodontic treatments can help you achieve the perfect smile for you!
Orthodontic braces and retainers are often used to correct malocclusions, (under-bites, overbites, cross bites, open bites, or crooked teeth) for either cosmetic or structural reasons.
Why the need for orthodontic treatment?
Many factors can cause the need for braces and retainers, including thumb-sucking or a traumatic injury and some conditions are inherited. Children between the ages of 10 and 14 are typical candidates for braces and retainers because their facial structures are still developing. Adult braces and retainers usually entail additional procedures because their faces have already fully developed.
We utilise various treatment methods to give our patients beautifully straight smiles!
Invisalign – Straighten your smile the invisible way !
While standard Orthodontic braces and retainers are an effective method of straightening teeth, we recommend Invisalign invisible orthodontics for their functional and cosmetic benefits.
Advances in technology have vastly improved appearance and comfort issues with orthodontic treatment. Invisalign is comfortable, removable and almost invisible!
The benefits
- The device is removable for eating, drinking and cleaning so you can maintain oral health
- It is comfortable with no sharp metal wires, brackets to trap food or leave stains
- Best of all no one will be able to tell you are having treatment because Invisalign is invisible
Space Retainers – Guide your teeth into the optimum position !
Space retainers are devices that can help teeth grow normally following premature tooth loss, injury or other problems. The devices can help ensure that proper spaces are maintained to allow future permanent teeth to erupt. If your child loses a baby tooth early through decay or injury, his or her other teeth could shift and begin to fill the vacant space.
When your child’s permanent teeth emerge, there might not be enough room for them. The result is crooked or crowded teeth and difficulties with chewing or speaking.
Lingual braces – The hidden alternative to metal braces !
If you are an adult and need your teeth straightened there is an alternative to traditional metallic braces and Invisalign invisible braces. Lingual braces are available to you and can be completed in a similar time frame to traditional metallic Orthodontic braces.
Lingual braces are attached to the inside of the teeth and are sometimes requested by patients because they cannot be seen. They improve the appearance and function of teeth without being visible. Lingual braces are attached the reverse side of each tooth which has its own unique shape.
