Services
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear, custom-made aligners to gently straighten teeth without traditional braces. Ideal for adults and teens seeking discreet treatment, these removable aligners allow for easy eating and cleaning while delivering effective results. Our specialist ensures precise planning for optimal outcomes.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces offer a less visible alternative to metal braces, using tooth-coloured brackets for a subtle appearance. Suitable for patients prioritising aesthetics, they provide reliable tooth movement with reduced visibility, combining functionality and discretion for confident treatment.
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are traditional, highly effective orthodontic solutions for complex cases. Durable and precise, they deliver consistent results for patients requiring significant tooth movement, ensuring long-term alignment and bite correction through expertly applied adjustments.
Retainers
Retainers maintain teeth alignment post-treatment, preventing relapse. Custom-fitted and available in removable or fixed options, they ensure lasting results by stabilising teeth in their new positions, crucial for preserving the success of orthodontic care.
Orthodontic Consultations
Initial consultations assess dental needs and create personalised treatment plans. Our specialist evaluates bite, alignment, and oral health to recommend suitable braces, ensuring patients understand their options, timelines, and expected outcomes for informed decisions.
