Orthodontics is the specialty of dentistry concerned with straightening teeth and enhancing the harmony of the face to create a healthy and comfortable smile. We understand how all the different features of the face and mouth interconnect to give us not just our looks but also influence how we eat, smile and develop.

Our expertise allows us to provide these treatments using invisible braces so
no-one need notice anything, except of course the sensational results. There are many types of appliances available and we’ll tailor your choice to your lifestyle. Before making your choice, it’s important for you to consider the importance to you of each of the following:

Duration of treatment: If finishing treatment as quickly as possible is a priority, you might consider a self-ligating appliance. The lower friction has been shown to reduce overall treatment duration by an average of 3-4 months.

Appearance of appliance: If you would prefer a discreet appliance, you might
consider either ceramic braces or something totally invisible – lingual appliances are fitted to the inside surfaces of teeth and as such are completely concealed.
Alternatively, braces can be coloured or even gold-plated to make individual fashion statements.

Convenience: Some braces take longer to adapt to and clean than others.
The optimal adjustment intervals also vary between appliances.

Cost: The invisible braces are more expensive as there are specialised set-up and manufacturing processes involved in producing these customized appliances. Click on the links to the right to see the comprehensive range of appliances we offer.

Make your choice and let us create a smile for you that we can both be proud of.
