Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontic treatment naturally restores the harmony and balance of your smile using braces or aligners to gently reposition your teeth. Treatment usually takes between one and two years, ensuring the teeth remain in the correct place.
Advances in orthodontic treatment means that patients can choose tooth-coloured brackets, clear aligners and appliances that fit onto the back of the teeth, making them invisible when you smile.
Fixed braces
Often known as 'train tracks', fixed braces offer great, reliable results and can be tooth coloured or metal. Coloured elastic bands are a popular addition for teenagers. Average treatment time is 12-18 months and brands include Damon System, In-Ovation C and InVu.
Invisible aligners
Clear aligners virtually disappear on the teeth and can be removed for cleaning, eating and brushing your teeth. Average treatment time (6-12 months) is less than most fixed braces treatments, as aligners are only suitable for the milder cases. Brands include Invisalign, Invisalign Teen and Clearstep.
Lingual braces
These braces are fitted to the inside of your teeth, making them invisible from the front. They are ideal for people who wish to keep the fact they are wearing a brace their secret. Lingual braces can tackle the jobs that are too demanding for aligners, without having to resort to braces on the front of your teeth. Average treatment takes around 15-18 months and one of the most popular and trusted brands is Incognito.
