Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment – is effective treatment used to improve appearance of crowded teeth or to correct bite problems.

No-one is too old for orthodontic treatment. In fact 25% of orthodontic patients are now adults, who undergo orthodontic treatment. Orthodontics have come a long way in the past 20 years and with the use of very light wires the discomfort is minimal. Also, many adult patients may consider the use of lingual braces, i.e. braces on the inside of their teeth, which can not be seen, or alternatively choose a revolutionary approach with no braces called Invisalign.

New techniques and materials have also seen an overall reduction in the required treatment times for orthodontic care. Depending on the severity of the condition most orthodontic treatment can be undertaken within 6 – 24 months regardless of age.
