What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics is the area of dentistry focused on correcting teeth and jaw alignment issues. Treatment may be recommended to improve the appearance of your smile, but it can also help with bite function, cleaning, tooth wear, and overall oral health.

Orthodontic treatment may be suitable for children, teenagers, and adults depending on the alignment concerns and complexity of the case.

Orthodontic treatments we offer

Clear aligners

Clear aligners are a discreet, removable option used to gradually move teeth into a better position. They are popular with patients who want a more subtle alternative to braces.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces use brackets and wires to move teeth over time. They are a reliable option for correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including more complex alignment issues.

Retainers

Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment to help keep teeth in their new position and maintain the result.

What orthodontics can help correct

  • crowded or overlapping teeth
  • gaps between teeth
  • protruding front teeth
  • overbites
  • underbites
  • crossbites
  • general bite alignment concerns

What to expect from treatment

Your orthodontic treatment begins with a consultation, where we assess your teeth, bite, and smile goals. We may recommend scans, photographs, or X-rays to help plan treatment.

Once your treatment plan is confirmed, we will guide you through each stage, including:

  • your recommended treatment option
  • expected treatment timeframe
  • review appointments
  • oral hygiene and maintenance
  • retainers after treatment

 

Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of the case, but many orthodontic treatments take place over months rather than weeks, so consistency and regular reviews are important.

No. Orthodontic treatment can be suitable for children, teenagers, and adults depending on the case.

Can orthodontics help with more than just appearance?

Yes. Orthodontic treatment may also help improve bite alignment, cleaning access, tooth wear, and overall oral health.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of treatment used. This will be discussed during your consultation.

Will I need retainers after treatment?

Yes. Retainers are typically recommended after orthodontic treatment to help maintain the position of the teeth.
