Services
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces effectively correct complex dental issues like severe crowding and jaw misalignment. Using precision brackets and archwires, this proven method gradually repositions teeth through controlled pressure. Ideal for patients seeking cost-effective, reliable orthodontic treatment with predictable results.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening through custom-made, removable plastic aligners. Utilising 3D imaging technology, each aligner incrementally shifts teeth vertically, horizontally, and rotationally. Requires 20 hours daily wear for optimal outcomes, with aligner changes every 6-8 weeks.
Clear Braces
Clear braces combine traditional bracket mechanics with tooth-coloured ceramic materials for aesthetic appeal. Equally effective for complex cases while minimising visibility, they reduce staining risks and maintain strength comparable to metal braces.
Dento Facial Orthopaedics
This specialty addresses jaw growth and facial development using functional appliances. Effective for correcting bite imbalances and creating optimal dental arch relationships in growing patients and adults through non-surgical interventions.
Orthodontic Consultations
Comprehensive evaluations determine individual orthodontic needs through clinical assessments and diagnostic imaging. Personalised treatment roadmaps address crowding, bite issues, and aesthetic goals while considering patient lifestyle and preferences.

Questions
What orthodontic treatments do you offer?
We provide traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, Invisalign aligners, and dentofacial orthopaedics for comprehensive bite and jaw correction.
Do adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Yes, we treat patients of all ages. Modern orthodontics offers discreet solutions like Invisalign and clear braces specifically for adult professionals.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment duration varies but typically requires 18-30 aligners, with average completion times between 12-18 months depending on case complexity.

Initial discomfort lasts 1-2 days after fitting or adjustments. Over-the-counter pain relief manages symptoms, with modern braces designed for enhanced comfort.
How often are orthodontic appointments needed?
Brace wearers require adjustments every 4-6 weeks, while Invisalign patients typically need check-ups every 6-8 weeks for progress monitoring.
