Crooked teeth and bite discrepancies can affect function, cleaning and the way your smile feels.
For adults and young people
Orthodontic treatment can often work well in adulthood when oral health is stable.
The right method for your bite
Fixed braces and removable aligners suit different needs. An assessment shows what is appropriate.
During treatment
Teeth move gradually and are checked regularly. Good oral hygiene is especially important.
Assessment and specialist collaboration
We assess your bite and goals at an appointment. When appropriate, we collaborate with an orthodontic specialist. Your individual plan explains which method is proposed and who provides each stage.
Costs and follow-up
If orthodontic treatment is appropriate, we explain the approach, approximate schedule, cost and follow-up before you decide.
Frequently asked questions
Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
Tenderness for a few days after fitting or adjustment is common.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the bite discrepancy and the method.
Can you assess my bite first?
Yes. An individual examination helps establish whether orthodontic care may be appropriate and which options to discuss.
