Invisalign® clear aligners
There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear the traditional unsightly metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth.
Fixed braces
An effective long-term solution to straightening your teeth and correcting your bite is orthodontics. Orthodontics is a subspecialty in dentistry that focuses on aligning, straightening and crucially matching up the bite for the patients using appropriate orthodontic appliances applying pressure to the teeth to move them into a particular position.
Clear braces
Invisalign® straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.
Lingual braces
Lingual uses brackets positioned on the inside of the mouth to gently move and align the front 4-6 teeth, for those patients where speed and appearance are essential.
NHS orthodontists
Childrens orthodontics usually takes place once their adult teeth have fully replaced their milk teeth. At this stage, it ensures the greatest result and the least amount of time and expense.
