Explore ways to improve tooth alignment and bite, with a treatment plan suited to your needs.
Look beyond a straight smile
Orthodontic treatment moves teeth to address selected alignment and bite concerns. Our general dentists can assess your smile and discuss options such as braces and clear aligners. Where specialist assessment is appropriate, we will explain the referral pathway.
What we can discuss
- Assessment of crowding, spacing and bite concerns
- Comparison of braces and clear-aligner options
- Monitoring during tooth movement
- Retention and long-term care planning
Making an informed choice
Treatment needs ongoing reviews and careful cleaning. Tooth movement can involve discomfort, gum problems and other risks that your clinician will discuss. Treatment time and outcome vary, and retainers are generally needed afterwards.
