For children, teenagers and adults, orthodontic treatment will achieve a beautiful smile.
Orthodontic treatment promotes oral health and can be vitally important for your child’s dental and facial function and aesthetics. Children should see an orthodontist by age 7 when early orthodontic problems can occur. Early orthodontic treatment can intervene to correct problems preventatively and build the foundations of a beautiful smile. No referral is required to see an orthodontist, although referrals are most welcome. Orthodontic problems include:
• Early or late loss of baby teeth
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Crowded, crooked, misplaced or spaced teeth
• Biting the cheek or roof of the mouth
• Bad bite
• Teeth that stick-out or protrude
• Facial imbalance or asymmetry
What People Say
Customary orthodontic appliances, called “braces”, remain the treatment of choice in orthodontics because they can correct the variety of orthodontic problems ranging from mild irregularity to a misaligned bite and jaw discrepancy.
Clear aligners can achieve similar outcomes to braces for the treatment of mild dental irregularity and are suitable for certain cases.
We achieve optimum aesthetic and functional outcomes through customised treatments specific for your case.
Adults
Orthodontics is for adults as well as children and teenagers. Adults are frequently having orthodontic treatment and today represent almost one quarter of orthodontic patients. Teeth continue to move into adulthood and misaligned teeth can lead to problems such as gum disease, protruding teeth, dental decay, chewing difficulties, tooth-wear, and jaw pain.
Orthodontic advances make contemporary adult treatments more comfortable and cosmetically appealing.
