About Us
Teeth straightening, also known as orthodontics, is a long term commitment so finding the right method for you and your lifestyle is important. Orthodontics isn't simply about straight teeth, it can make a difference to your appearance, your bite and your overall oral health.
In an ideal world, our teeth would bite down in a very specific way to optimise function and oral health. Unfortunately, our teeth are almost never naturally perfect and this can cause problems with chewing, oral hygiene, speaking and aesthetics.
Orthodontic treatment is normally done when we are teenagers - our teeth have developed to a point where any problems are clearly identifiable and it is therefore the best time to treat them for the long term. However, the good news is that many of these orthodontic conditions are very treatable, even in adults!
Our teeth straightening treatments can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, helping you achieve a healthy and confident smile.
Some of the conditions that we can treat with our orthodontic treatments include:
From the scanners we use to comfortably gain a model of your teeth to the state of the art processes used to create your bespoke aligners, brace or retainer, digital dentistry is a vital part of modern orthodontics.

It is important to keep your teeth and the appliance clean throughout your treatment, you will need to attend regular appointments so your brace can be adjusted, or to collect your next set of aligners.
It is becoming more and more common for adults to improve their smile with braces or aligners.
Many adults did not have access to orthodontic services when they were in their teens and their parents may not have been aware of what orthodontics could achieve.
Orthodontics and wearing braces is now more socially acceptable and with a choice of straightening appliances available there is an option to suit your budget and lifestyle.
Orthodontic treatment can be provided at any age, even though most people think of pre-teens and teens when they think of orthodontics.
We recommend starting the process while the child is still growing. By taking advantage of growth spurts, we can move the teeth and jaw into a better alignment more quickly and the results are likely to be more stable.
If you have any questions about teeth straightening aligners or orthodontic braces, it is likely we have been asked them before. Check out the common questions we have been asked, if you still have questions please get in touch and we'll be happy to help you further.
