Orthodontics
Straighter teeth and a healthier bite for teens and adults, with metal, ceramic or clear aligner options.
Overview
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontic treatment gently moves teeth into better positions to correct crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites and crossbites. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and can improve how your teeth meet when you bite.
Our orthodontists offer traditional metal braces, discreet ceramic braces and clear aligners. After an assessment, we recommend the option that suits your teeth, lifestyle and goals.

FAQs
Common questions
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For many mild to moderate cases, yes. Some complex bite problems are better treated with braces. Your orthodontist will advise you.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel pressure or soreness for a few days after fitting and adjustments. This is normal and usually settles quickly.
Am I too old for orthodontics?
No. Adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment as long as their teeth and gums are healthy.
Will I need a retainer?
Yes. Retainers are important to stop teeth moving back after treatment.
Results vary from person to person. Your clinician will confirm whether this treatment is suitable for you during your consultation.
