Orthodontics
Orthodontics: This specialised field of dentistry focuses on optimising the alignment and positioning of teeth and jaws. Utilising tools such as braces, aligners, and retainers, orthodontic treatments enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile. They also address concerns related to speech, bite, and overall oral health. Early interventions are referred to as orthopaedic, while treatments for those who are 12 years old and older fall under orthodontics.
Self-ligating: Say goodbye to old-school braces. Self-ligating braces use specialised brackets to secure the archwire, eliminating the need for traditional elastics or metal ties. This innovation reduces friction, making the treatment more comfortable and shortening both adjustment appointments and overall treatment time mainly for one year. Gone are the days of 4 to 5-year treatments!
Lingual Braces: These braces are affixed to the back surfaces of your teeth, offering a less visible alternative to traditional options. They're a popular choice for individuals looking discreetly to improve their smile.
Aligners: The aligners are often used in orthodontics to straighten teeth. They are a series of clear plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into their desired positions.
