Orthodontic treatment is most often used to improve the appearance and alignment of crooked, protruding or crowded teeth, and to correct problems with the bite of the teeth.

There are many different types of orthodontic treatment. The best treatment for you depends on the exact problem you have.

The first stage of any treatment is to assess the current position of your teeth and how they’re likely to change over time.

This often involves taking X rays, making plaster models, and taking photographs of your teeth.

You will then be given a treatment plan. This may suggest more than 1 way to treat the problem you have.

Braces

Braces consist of small metal or clear ceramic brackets that are cemented to each tooth and are connected to one another with a thin metal wire. This wire is designed to put pressure on all of the brackets, moving your teeth into alignment. The use of other appliances, such as rubber bands or springs may also be required.

Clear Aligners

Straightens your teeth with practically invisible and removable aligners that are

made to fit your teeth and to ensure greater comfort. As you change sets of aligners every two weeks, your teeth will move gradually, little by little and week after week, achieving a great smile.
