Orthodontics are a non-invasive means of developing or achieving a healthy, attractive, and well-aligned smile.

If you have crooked teeth, crowded teeth, or misaligned teeth or bite, it can cause dental or jaw problems over time. You may experience difficulties in maintaining good oral hygiene and gum health, or develop speech or chewing difficulties.

Crowded teeth with misaligned jaws can sometimes be involved with upper airway constrictions, increasing the risk of sleep apnoea.  This is why our approach to orthodontics takes into account correct breathing patterns, and the quality of your sleep.

When you have crooked or crowded teeth, our first step is to give you a clear diagnosis. We look at your overall oral health, dental and facial structure and development, and discuss your functional or cosmetic desires and requirements.

With orthodontics, we usually have a focus on extraction-free teeth straightening. This can be applied for adults and children in most cases. The orthodontic treatment we provide for children works in line with their growth and development.  Our experience has shown that children assessed by the age of seven may benefit most, allowing us to best plan for optimal results.

Crooked teeth, or crowded teeth, can be a mainly esthetic concern, but they can also lead to other, more serious dental problems. Crooked or crowded teeth occur when they are misaligned, and there is an incorrect relation between the teeth (improper occlusion). If you have crooked or crowded teeth, then this may interfere with proper chewing, jaw relation, hygiene and aesthetics.
