ADULT ORTHODONTICS

More and more adults are having their straightened. There are numerous options out there and we are pleased to offer a range of options including Clear Aligners such as Invisalign, Clear Braces, and Lingual Braces. Treatment times can vary depending upon the problem and the type of brace used, but it is not uncommon for treatment times to be about 6 months.

Clear Aligners such as Invisalign

These systems are excellent at straightening out overlapping, crooked or gappy teeth. Clear, removable positioners are wafer thin and made of a transparent medical grade plastic.

They are designed so that you wear each positioner for approximately two weeks. Little by little they gently move your teeth from their present to your desired position, as you work through the steps.

They are very comfortable to wear, and importantly, are removable so you can take them out for an important business meeting, or for social occasions.

Clear Brackets

These are clear/ tooth coloured brackets, and a white wire bonded to the outer surfaces of the teeth, whilst not being completely invisible they are a vast improvement on the traditional metal brackets and steel wires.

Lingual Orthodontics

These are small metal brackets that are bonded to the inside of the teeth and linked by a thin metal wire which moves the teeth into the desired position. Treatment times are typically from 3-8 months.
