For a more beautifully aligned smile
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry concerned with straightening teeth and correcting misaligned bites. It uses specially designed devices to apply forces and move teeth to a better position. Orthodontic treatment has advanced over the years and now offers quicker treatment times and more discreet braces.
Treatment with braces generally takes 6-18 months. While wearing a brace, it is important to maintain a good oral hygiene routine to help prevent decay and gum disease. You should also visit us regularly for check-ups and adjustments. Following treatment, you will need to wear a retainer to ensure your teeth do not move out of line.
Straighter teeth are easier to keep clean as they have fewer gaps and narrow spaces, which can trap food and encourage a build-up of plaque.
