Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment is becoming increasingly common as patients discover the long-term aesthetic and functional benefits of having their own natural teeth orthodontically straightened to minimise future dental needs and achieve confident smiles. The main benefit – cosmetic appearance aside – is that straighter teeth often have fewer dental complications in the future.
This is because straight teeth:
- Are easier to clean
- Don’t trap food as easily
- Decrease your risk of gum disease
- Enable you to eat and chew effectively
For the majority of adults, the time for metal braces have passed and they are in the market for more discreet options. Luckily today’s orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customised to meet your needs.
Fixed braces: Ceramic(clear)/metal brackets. These braces are fixed to the teeth with average treatment lasting between one and two years, resulting in a beautiful smile with a corrected bite
Invisalign aligners: A series of removable invisible trays that are changed every 2 weeks
