Traditional Metal Braces

Time-tested and effective, metal braces are suitable for patients of all ages. Despite the emergence of alternative options, they continue to stand the test of time, providing countless individuals with improved oral health and confidence. 

Benefits of traditional metal braces include:

  • More budget-friendly option compared to alternative treatments.
  • Proven track record of success, providing consistent results and predictable outcomes.
  • Reliable pathway to achieving a straighter, healthier smile over a predetermined treatment period.
  • Provide the necessary support and control to address a wide range of dental misalignments effectively.

Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure optimal results and minimise treatment duration.

Invisalign Aligners

For those seeking a more discreet option, Invisalign (AKA clear aligners) offers a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth. Crafted using 3D imaging technology and clear, medical-grade plastic, each set of Invisalign aligners you receive will be tailored to your unique dental anatomy.

Benefits of choosing Invisalign aligners include:

  • Seamless, aesthetic solution for individuals seeking to enhance their smile without the visibility of traditional braces.
  • Minimal irritation to the gums and cheeks, enhancing overall comfort throughout your treatment.
  • Their removable design allows for effortless brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Advanced 3D imaging technology and customised treatment plans facilitate precise tooth movement, ensuring consistent results and optimal alignment over time.

Maintaining proper care and maintenance is crucial to ensure the best results. You will need to wear your aligners around 22 hours per day, as well as clean them regularly to facilitate optimal tooth movement and alignment.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces blend seamlessly with your natural tooth colour, making them less noticeable compared to traditional metal braces. It’s no wonder they’re a popular choice with both teens and adults

The benefits of choosing ceramic braces include: 

  • Discreet design allows you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your braces.
  • Offer the same level of precision and control as traditional braces.
  • Smooth, rounded edges minimise irritation to the gums and cheeks, enhancing overall comfort.
  • Extremely versatile and can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, and misaligned bites.

Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential when wearing ceramic braces. Brushing and flossing regularly as well as avoiding staining foods will help keep them in tip-top condition throughout your treatment.

Lingual Orthodontics (Invisible Braces)

Lingual orthodontics represents a groundbreaking approach to teeth straightening. Unlike traditional braces that are placed to the front of the teeth, lingual braces are customised to fit on the inner surfaces of your teeth, making them virtually invisible. 

The key benefits of lingual orthodontics include:

  • Concealed behind the teeth, allowing you to undergo orthodontic treatment without the appearance of visible braces.
  • Meticulously designed and tailored to fit the unique contours of your teeth, ensuring a precise and effective treatment process.
  • Minimal discomfort and irritation to the tongue and inner cheeks, enhancing overall comfort throughout your treatment.
  • From minor adjustments to complex orthodontic issues, lingual orthodontics offers a versatile solution tailored to your specific needs and goals.

Maintaining optimal oral hygiene is crucial when undergoing lingual orthodontic treatment. It is crucial that you brush and floss regularly, attend regular check-ups and avoid hard, sticky, or overly crunchy foods.

Removable and Fixed Retainers

Available in both removable and fixed options, retainers offer a tailored approach to preserving your new smile and preventing orthodontic relapse.

Removable Retainers

Removable retainers are crafted to fit your unique dental anatomy, providing a snug and comfortable fit for optimal retention. They can be easily inserted and removed, allowing for effortless cleaning, eating, and oral hygiene maintenance.

Benefits of removable retainers include: 

  • Flexibility to remove them during meals, special occasions, or specific activities.
  • Easy to maintain as regular cleaning and care are essential to their integrity and effectiveness.

 

Fixed Retainers

Fixed retainers are bonded to the inner surfaces of your anterior teeth, providing continuous support and stability to maintain alignment. They’re crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting retention and support without compromising oral hygiene.

Benefits of Fixed Retainers include: 

  • Ongoing support to prevent orthodontic relapse, ensuring that your teeth remain in their optimal positions over time.
