Kinds of Braces

Traditional Metal Braces: The most common type, featuring metal brackets and wires that are periodically tightened to gradually align the teeth.

Ceramic Braces: Similar to metal braces but made of clear or tooth-coloured ceramic materials, making them less noticeable.

Lingual Braces: Attached to the back side of the teeth, lingual braces are completely hidden from view but can be more expensive and harder to clean.

Invisible Braces (Clear Aligners): Removable, clear plastic trays used to straighten teeth. They're virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing.

The Process

Initial Consultation: A thorough examination, discussion of your goals, and evaluation of which type of braces are most suited to your needs.

Customisation: Your braces (or aligners) will be custom-made to fit your teeth precisely.

Regular Adjustments: Except for clear aligners, you'll need regular appointments for adjustments and to monitor progress.

Post-Treatment: After the braces are removed, wearing a retainer as prescribed is crucial to maintain the new position of your teeth.

Braces for Kids

Early orthodontic evaluation is important for children to identify any issues that braces might correct more effectively while they're still growing. We offer a friendly and supportive environment to make the process as comfortable as possible for our younger patients.
