Orthodontics

Misaligned teeth not only affect your self-image but your overall oral health too. Orthodontics allows us to rectify tooth positioning to restore function and confidence.


What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics deals with the positioning of the teeth and uses various techniques and devices to correct misalignment and incorrect bites. These work by slowly repositioning the teeth over time, allowing them to shift into better positioning.


What are the benefits of orthodontics?

Having skew or uneven teeth can lead to a host of oral issues, including gum disease, decay and fractures. Beyond this, orthodontics can improve your confidence and self-image. Our aim is to restore all patients’ smiles, so we provide orthodontic treatments to restore function, health and happiness.

Orthodontic treatments can effectively improve:

  • Gaps between the teeth
  • Overlapping teeth
  • Overbite, underbite and crossbite
  • Oral function, such as eating, speaking and smiling

Who is suited for orthodontic treatment?

We work closely with renowned Orthodontists in our area to provide comprehensive orthodontic treatment to adults and children.

For adults, we look at your dental history, conduct digital scans and assess your teeth, mouth and jaw before advising on orthodontic treatment. If you have misaligned teeth or an improper bite, orthodontic treatment is typically most suited.

For children, we assess the progression of the teeth during each dental check-up. Orthodontic treatment is usually only administered once children have grown all of their permanent teeth.
