Why straighten teeth
Crowded or crooked teeth are harder to clean, which raises the risk of cavities and gum problems. A poor bite can also wear teeth unevenly.
Options
- Metal braces: strong and reliable.
- Ceramic braces: tooth-coloured, so less visible.
- Clear aligners: removable, nearly invisible trays, suitable for many cases.
How it starts
We begin with a consultation and examination to see whether treatment is needed and which option suits you. Treatment time depends on your case, often from several months to a couple of years.
Common questions
What is the right age for braces?
Children are often checked around age 7 to 12, but adults can straighten their teeth too.
Are aligners better than braces?
Each has advantages. The best choice depends on your teeth and lifestyle; we'll explain the options at your consultation.
