Conventional Orthodontics

​

Braces work using individual brackets and archwires to move your teeth into position. Each bracket is fitted to the surface of your tooth and the archwire is slotted into these brackets. As the archwire attempts to straighten using light force from elastic bands, it gradually moves your teeth into their desired position.

 

Invisalign

​

No matter how old you are when you start thinking about getting braces, the idea of sporting a mouth full of brackets and wires is probably a turnoff. Fortunately, there’s a cutting-edge solution for straightening teeth that don’t involve traditional braces: Invisalign®.


With Invisalign treatment, you can straighten your teeth without anyone around you being the wiser. Invisalign treatment involves a series of clear, removable aligners designed to gradually improve your alignment and bite. This means you won't have to shy away from the camera while you're undergoing treatment, and you won't have to inconvenience yourself by drastically altering your oral healthcare routine.
