Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign offers discreet teeth straightening using custom-made clear aligners. This system gradually repositions teeth without traditional metal braces, ideal for adults seeking subtle correction. Patients appreciate easier oral hygiene maintenance and removable appliances during treatment.
Damon System Braces
Damon System braces use advanced low-friction technology for efficient tooth movement. These fixed appliances achieve precise alignment with reduced adjustment requirements. The system's innovative design often shortens treatment duration compared to conventional braces.
Functional Appliances
Functional appliances address jaw alignment issues, particularly in growing patients. These devices guide lower jaw development to correct protrusion and improve facial profile. Treatment typically precedes fixed appliances for comprehensive orthodontic results.
Removable Appliances
Removable appliances provide early intervention for simple tooth movements, especially in children. These devices create space and correct minor misalignments before comprehensive treatment. Patients receive guidance on proper wear and cleaning routines.
Adult Orthodontics
Specialist adult orthodontic treatment addresses long-standing dental concerns using discreet options. Clarity ceramic brackets offer tooth-coloured aesthetics while achieving precise tooth positioning. Comprehensive care includes post-treatment retention planning.
