Orthodontics

One of the most effective methods for permanently improving the appearance of teeth while simultaneously improving their functionality is orthodontics. By gently easing the teeth into a more comfortable position over time, orthodontics creates a dazzling all-natural smile.

The Benefits of Orthodontics

Being born with crooked teeth is incredibly common. While many people’s first thoughts are how they look, many fail to realize the added difficulty of living with crooked teeth. 

Not only are they more difficult to clean and hence more prone to decay, but the uneven pressure applied to teeth that aren’t straight while chewing makes them much more susceptible to being damaged. Teeth that don’t align properly can also strain the jaw muscles, leading to joint problems and potential headaches.

Orthodontic treatment moves teeth back in line, allowing the jaw to bite correctly. A set of perfectly aligned teeth effectively spreads biting pressure across all the teeth and makes them altogether stronger. Orthodontic treatment leads to healthier teeth and drastically improves their appearance.

Most people associate orthodontics with children. While it is true that the process is most effective during childhood, orthodontic treatment is still entirely possible for adults and is becoming increasingly commonplace.

Invisalign® Clear Aligners

For the most discreet orthodontic treatment, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners. Invisalign® treatment is one of the most advanced transparent aligner systems globally and is an immensely popular industry leader in orthodontics.

While many adults choose to shy away from orthodontics for fear of wearing braces, Invisalign® provides a virtually invisible alternative. The aligners are completely removable, so your daily routine doesn’t need to change. You can still brush and floss as usual, and you won’t be forced to avoid all your favourite foods.

All our resident dentists are certified Invisalign® providers and will be able to guide you through every stage of the process. After discussing a suitable plan of action, your custom Invisalign® aligners will be created for you.

Aligners are worn for 20 to 22 hours a day; aligners are swapped for a new set every 1 to 2 weeks. Your teeth will be gradually shifted into a more comfortable position during this time, resulting in a beautiful new smile that looks better than ever.
