Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatment moves and straightens teeth to improve their appearance - and make them work better.

Straight teeth are healthier teeth. When teeth bite together correctly, they are easier to clean and decay and disease are rarer.

Every patient is different, so we design a unique treatment path for everyone. As well as a physical examination to assess the extent of the problem we talk to you about what you hope to get from the treatment. Then we talk you through the treatment strategy we feel will be best for you, which may involve the use of braces or retainers, and only begin treatment when you are happy to proceed.

We can of course also help if you are concerned about your child’s crooked teeth. Their teeth can be straightened and aligned so that they will reach adulthood with great looking and properly functioning teeth.

How does invisalign works?

Invisalign treatment starts with a dental examination by our experienced Invisalign dentist. He will examine your teeth and develop a computer model of your treatment. Together you can review and agree on your Invisalign treatment plan.

Invisalign will then make a series of custom made aligners that will only fit you. Each aligner is slightly different, moving your teeth gradually into the desired position. You wear each aligner for two weeks, before moving on to the next in the series.

We will see you for a progress review every four to six weeks and you will then receive your new aligners. Each Aligner will move your teeth little by little, week by week, until they reach the desired position.

Treatment length will vary depending on your case, but the average Invisalign treatment is nine to fifteen months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30 aligners. Finally all that remains is for you to show off your beautiful new smile!
