Conventional Braces

If you have a significant jaw malformation or your teeth bite very badly you may need to get extensive braces which take 2 years or more. If shorter term braces are not an option for you, we do refer you to our specialist orthodontist for this treatment.

Invisalign®: the clear alternative to regular Braces this is particularly popular among our adult patients in the public eye who do not want the world to know they are wearing braces.

Invisalign® involves wearing a set of customised clear aligners. They allow you to brush as normal and to eat whatever you want during treatment. The average treatment time for this is about a year but can be faster where fewer movements are needed. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-moulded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you’ll be proud of.

• Remove your aligners to eat, brush and floss.
• Change aligners every two weeks.
• Your teeth move little by little.
• Regular progress checks with your dentist.
• Results often in 9 months to 1 year.

The convenience and ease of use of the invisible braces have made it the choice for hundreds of thousands of people.

• Most people won’t notice you’re in treatment.
• Won’t disrupt your lifestyle.

No metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth. Invisalign®, the clear alternative to braces, has been chosen by over 500,000 people who want amazing smiles. No, there are no age limits! People as old as 60 and 70 are getting braces. People know how important it is to take care of themselves. When you have your braces placed your mouth takes some time to get used to something new. This only lasts a few days and after this you’ll hardly notice them.

When we use gentle pressure to move your teeth it is completely normal to have a sensation that they are slightly loose. This is because the ligaments that hold your teeth in are being stretched a bit. Don’t worry when the braces come off this goes away entirely. Other than that, treatment will feel the same whether you get treatment when you are in your teens, or whether you get treatment when you are an adult. Invisalign, the clear brace, can be removed for eating and therefore does not tend to stain at all and can be cleaned easily.
