Services
Braces
Traditional metal and clear ceramic braces provide precise tooth alignment and bite correction. Our low-profile brackets ensure comfort and effectiveness, with treatment durations ranging from 9 months to 2 years based on complexity. Retainers are included to maintain results post-treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses custom clear trays to straighten teeth discreetly. As Platinum Elite providers, we treat cases from simple to complex, with average treatment times of 15 months. Aligners are removable for eating and cleaning, requiring 22 hours of daily wear for optimal results.
Expanders
Expanders correct narrow upper jaws by gradually widening the dental arch. Fixed or removable options are available for children, creating space for permanent teeth and improving bite alignment. Early intervention often reduces future treatment needs.
Functional Appliances
Functional appliances address jaw growth issues in children, correcting protrusive teeth and improving lower jaw positioning. Devices like Twin Block and Herbst are used, often followed by braces to finalise alignment and reduce overall treatment duration.
Interceptive Treatment
Interceptive treatment guides jaw development and tooth eruption in children aged 8+. Goals include preventing severe crowding, correcting crossbites, and reducing trauma risk. This phase often precedes comprehensive treatment with braces or aligners for optimal long-term outcomes.
