More often than not, people opt for orthodontic treatment during their teenage years, as the vast majority of us will have most if not all of our permanent teeth by then. However, you can opt to see an orthodontist at any age, whether it's 16 or 60! As dentistry continues to take leaps and bounds forward, treatment time is shortened and has become more discreet than ever before. So, how do you go about choosing the right form of treatment for you?

Invisalign

Invisalign braces involves the use of a series of clear, custom designed aligners which can be easily removed so you can eat, drink and even brush your teeth as normal throughout your treatment. On average, treatment can take roughly a year to complete but may go quicker where fewer adjustments are needed. The fact they are also completely clear means that people who may have put off much needed orthodontic work at the prospect of metal braces, can now get the smile they've always longed for. 

Six Month Braces

One of our most popular forms of treatment, Six Month Braces can give your perfectly straight teeth in record time! As they are solely for your front teeth, the purpose of Six Month Braces are purely cosmetic, meaning that if you do require your bite altered you may be required to opt for conventional braces instead.

Our Six Month Braces are available in both see-through and traditional metal finish braces. You can also avail of white braces, which are tooth coloured to match your own natural shade - making them practically invisible and ideal for anyone looking to keep their braces discreet. 

Conventional Braces

Often referred to as 'fixed braces' or even 'train tracks', these are the most common type of orthodontic braces available. Conventional braces are ideal for finely tuning the position of your teeth and modern designs make treatment time much shorter than in years gone by. We can even provide you with clear ceramic brackets for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
