Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on correcting malpositioned jaws and misaligned teeth. This may involve the use of fixed appliances on the teeth such as brackets, removable appliances such as clear aligners, devices that help the jaws achieve their growths properly, and other orthodontic appliances that straighten and align teeth for a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.
We provide initial diagnostic consultations, so you can learn more about the costs and benefits of treatment before making a decision. The costs associated with our orthodontic services vary according to the complexity of the treatment required, the patient’s age and the type of braces used. We offer flexible payment plans and are happy to discuss your financing options during your initial consultation.

Our orthodontic practice offers a full range of services for all ages (children, teens and adults), as well as malocclusion correction, braces and invisible orthodontics.
Invisible orthodontics is a discreet solution for correcting dental malocclusions. Transparent braces are comfortable to wear and can be removed for brushing and eating. What’s more, this option can be ideal for appearance-conscious adults and teenagers. It also remains the perfect solution for sports patients.
We recommend consulting an orthodontist from the age of five, when children usually have all their milk teeth. This allows the doctor to assess the growth of teeth and jaws and recommend treatment if necessary.

Good oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment to ensure the best results and prevent complications.

Please discuss this with our team and we will provide you with advice on how to properly remove and reinsert your devices if necessary.
