Orthodontics – straightening and alignment – is a specialist branch of dentistry which involves the straightening and alignment of teeth. It usually involves wearing a brace or a retainer over a long period of time.

The braces are made from wires and springs attached to tiny metal plates or a plastic mould. The brace applies gentle forces to the teeth and encourages them to adopt a different alignment. The best orthodontic results are achieved with children when their teeth are still growing, many adults have orthodontic treatment but the process takes much longer.

Although we do not have an orthodontist specialist on site we can achieve minimal straightening in house OR refer you to a local orthodontist.

Please note that patients are able to visit our referring dentists and we will refer them back to their general practice when treatment complete.
