Orthodontics

Living in a close-knit coastal community, we understand the importance of feeling confident in your smile. Many of our patients—whether teenagers, working professionals, or retirees—seek orthodontic treatment not only to enhance their appearance but also to improve their dental health. Properly aligned teeth make daily cleaning easier, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and even speech issues.

For children and teens, early orthodontic intervention can prevent more complex dental problems later in life. For adults, modern advancements in orthodontics mean that achieving a straighter smile is more accessible and discreet than ever before. No matter your age, we offer personalised solutions to fit your lifestyle.

We provide a variety of orthodontic solutions tailored to different needs and preferences:

Traditional Braces

Modern metal braces are more comfortable and effective than ever before. They use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into their correct positions, making them an excellent choice for correcting moderate to severe misalignment.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces work similarly to traditional braces but use tooth-coloured brackets for a more discreet look. They are a popular option for older teens and adults who want the effectiveness of braces without the noticeable metal appearance.

Clear Aligners (Invisalign & Similar Systems)

For patients who prefer a nearly invisible treatment, clear aligners offer a removable, discreet solution. These custom-made trays gradually shift your teeth into place without the need for brackets or wires. They are ideal for professionals, students, and anyone looking for a flexible treatment option.

Initial Consultation

During your first appointment, we will assess your teeth and bite alignment. Using digital scans and X-rays, we’ll determine the best orthodontic solution for your unique case.

Customised Treatment Plan

Once we’ve established the best option for you, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan, outlining the expected duration and what you can expect at each stage.

Fitting Your Appliance

Whether you’re receiving braces or clear aligners, we’ll ensure a precise, comfortable fit. For traditional braces, this includes attaching brackets and wires. For clear aligners, we’ll provide custom trays and instructions on how to wear them effectively.

Regular Adjustments & Monitoring

Throughout your treatment, you’ll visit us periodically for adjustments and progress checks to ensure your teeth are moving correctly.

Retention Phase

Once your teeth have reached their desired positions, we’ll provide a retainer to maintain your results and prevent shifting over time.
