What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a field of dentistry concerned with the alignment of teeth for pleasing aesthetics and improved biting function.

What orthodontic treatments do you offer?

We proudly offer Invisalign™ for clear aligner therapy, and Ceramic Braces is a fixed orthodontic option.

What exactly is Invisalign®?

Invisalign ® uses a series of transparent, removable aligners – characterised as a thin shield covering the teeth – that is changed on a weekly basis to gently shift teeth into the correct position.

What is the procedure for using Invisalign®?

Invisalign® uses a set of customised aligners to transform your smile. Before going on to the next aligner, each one must be worn for 1-2 weeks. During your treatment, you will see your dentist every 6-8 weeks to ensure that everything progresses as planned and make any necessary modifications.

What are Ceramic Braces?

In terms of construction, ceramic braces are comparable to metal braces, but they are less visible than conventional fixed braces. Ceramic braces have clear or tooth-coloured brackets rather than grey or metallic-coloured components.
