orthodontic specialists

 

 

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the problems related to malaligned teeth and jaws.

These problems are corrected using appliances often referred to as braces. These can be fixed onto teeth or maybe removable. Occasionally, an external brace may also be used which is supported by the head or neck.

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out on baby teeth as well as permanent teeth. Sometimes the treatment is started when the baby teeth are present to correct conditions or to make adjustments while the child is growing, in order to allow the teeth and jaws to develop in a better environment. This often needs to be followed by further treatment when all permanent teeth have developed and generally involves the use of fixed braces. Fully comprehensive treatment lasts for about two years.

Orthodontic appliances can be fun and colourful or discreet and orthodontic treatment can be carried out as successfully in adults as in children, so it's never to late.

The treatment provided ranges from children's dentistry, orthodontics, oral surgery, periodontics, general dentistry, routine & advanced restorative work, implants and cosmetic dentistry.
