Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that involves the correction of malocclusions. Malocclusion means crowded ('crooked') teeth, or misaligned dental arches/ jaws. Orthodontics today has evolved so that treatments are available for both adults and children alike. These treatments are faster, more effective, and more comfortable. Orthodontics can also be performed without braces, using 'Invisalign' technology.

The style of orthodontics we like to perform concerns issues of facial harmony rather then just straightening teeth alone. This comprehensive approach includes looking at functional and airway problems. In children we like to diagnose and intercept these problems as soon as possible.

As an adult, orthodontic treatment may offer a more conservative approach to improving your smile than other possible treatments. Remember orthodontics has never been easier nor more accessible.

INVISALIGN utilises clear, plastic 'aligners' that are custom-made and a near-invisible method to orthodontically straighten your teeth. Most orthodontic concerns can now be treated without the need for braces. This is perfect for adult patients who would be uncomfortable with the idea of wearing braces.

The aligners are removable, so eating, brushing and flossing are not compromised. Upon examination, we can determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
