Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. These removable trays offer comfort and convenience while achieving results comparable to traditional braces. Ideal for adults and teens seeking subtle orthodontic treatment without metal brackets.
Traditional Braces
Proven metal braces deliver precise tooth movement for complex orthodontic cases. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and advanced wire technology for improved comfort and faster treatment times compared to traditional systems.
Clear Braces
Ceramic braces offer a discreet alternative to metal braces with tooth-coloured brackets. Durable and stain-resistant, they provide effective tooth alignment while maintaining aesthetic appeal throughout treatment.
Retainers
Custom retainers maintain teeth alignment after orthodontic treatment. We offer both removable clear retainers and fixed options to ensure long-lasting results. Proper retention prevents relapse and preserves your investment in a straighter smile.
Invisalign for Teens
Specialised Invisalign Teen aligners include wear indicators and eruption tabs for growing smiles. This removable solution addresses teenage orthodontic needs while accommodating active lifestyles, with replacement aligners included for accidental loss.

Questions
What orthodontic options are available besides traditional braces?
We offer Invisalign clear aligners, clear ceramic braces, and various discreet orthodontic solutions for patients seeking alternatives to metal braces.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost?
Treatment costs vary based on complexity. We provide detailed quotations during consultations and offer 18-24 month interest-free payment plans to make treatment affordable.
Are orthodontic treatments painful?
Modern orthodontics minimises discomfort. Initial adjustments may cause temporary soreness, but over-the-counter pain relief typically manages any discomfort effectively.
How often are follow-up appointments needed?
Most patients require adjustments every 8-12 weeks for Invisalign and every 6-8 weeks for traditional braces using our advanced wire technology.
Can adults benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Absolutely. We treat patients of all ages with solutions like Invisalign and clear braces specifically designed for adult aesthetic and lifestyle needs.
What happens if I lose my retainer?
Contact us immediately for replacement. We recommend prompt replacement to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
