Orthodontics treats teeth that are misaligned, and jaw relationships that are out of balance. Slow, steady forces move teeth and guide the bone to a new position. Treatment time depends on the case, and we will discuss the plan with you.
What we offer
- Metal or ceramic braces: metal brackets are strong and cost less. Ceramic brackets blend in with the teeth, and we will help you choose based on your lifestyle and preferences.
- Early intervention: if a problem is spotted at around age 7 to 9, an early phase of treatment can guide the jaws while they are still growing.
- Myofunctional appliances: removable or fixed appliances that use the muscles to guide jaw growth in children.
- Space management: regaining space lost when neighbouring teeth drift into a gap, or closing spaces that are not needed.
Is treatment needed?
Crowding, gaps, an uneven bite and a jaw that is not lined up can all be treated. Book a consultation for yourself or your child, and we will explain the options.
