Teeth Straightening

Orthodontics, also known as teeth straightening, helps to align crooked or crowded teeth to improve their function and your appearance.

Orthodontics can involve having braces fitted onto your teeth to gradually straighten them into the desired position, or wearing aligners, which are thin, clear, flexible plastic mouth guards that you can remove. You might think that only teenagers wear braces, but orthodontics can be suitable for anybody who’s looking to improve the appearance or function of their smile.

Invisalign

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment, which uses a series of clear, plastic aligners to gradually encourage the teeth to move in order to create a straight, healthy looking smile.

How does Invisalign work? The Invisalign treatment works by encouraging the teeth to move in the desired direction over the course of the treatment. Each aligner is shaped slightly differently and gentle pressure is applied to the teeth to force them to move into the correct position. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and then replaced with the next one in the series until the treatment is complete. The aligners must be worn for between 21 and 23 hours each day to ensure that they achieve optimum results.
