Services
Traditional Braces
Customizable traditional braces correct crowded teeth and misaligned bites using silver or clear brackets with archwires. Treatment duration varies based on complexity, with color options for o-rings. Our digital planning ensures precise bracket placement and wire bending for optimal results.
Clear Aligners
Removable clear aligners gradually straighten teeth using custom 3D-printed trays. Patients receive multiple aligner sets for progressive movement, with treatment monitoring every 4-8 weeks. Attachments may be added for enhanced tooth control during the alignment process.
Fast Track Treatment
Six to nine-month treatment option for minor alignment issues affecting front teeth. Combines braces or aligners for adults and adolescents seeking quick improvements without long-term commitment. Not suitable for severe crowding or bite correction needs.
Preventive Orthodontics
Specialized care for children addressing jaw development and tooth positioning. Uses growth modification appliances to correct asymmetry and prevent future complications. Early assessment helps determine optimal treatment timing for lasting results.
Interceptive Treatment
Appliance-based solutions for developing dental issues in children. Focuses on correcting jaw discrepancies and creating space for permanent teeth. Aims to simplify future orthodontic needs through timely intervention during growth phases.

Questions
What is the difference between a Dentist and an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists are dentists with additional three-year specialist training in teeth movement and jaw alignment. Dr Clare focuses exclusively on orthodontic treatments.
Will I need teeth removed before braces?
Not always. Dr Clare creates customized plans - extractions may be recommended for severe crowding or bite improvement needs.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment ranges from 6 months for minor corrections to 2 years for complex cases. Adjustment appointments occur every 4-10 weeks.
What payment options are available?
We offer payment plans starting at $290/month and accept private health insurance contributions towards treatment costs.
What can I eat with braces?
Avoid hard/sticky foods that could damage brackets. Cook food longer or cut into smaller pieces to prevent dislodging braces.
