FIXED BRACES & CLEAR ALIGNER TREATMENT
Fixed braces are attached to the teeth and cannot be removed while eating or cleaning. We offer a choice of metal or ceramic braces. Children mostly opt for the metal braces, while adults prefer the ceramic braces due to the fact that they are more discreet and less visible. CLEAR ALIGNER TREATMENT Adult patients mostly opt for this treatment, as duration of treatment is shorter and aesthetically, it is more subtle. Two options are available: * Invisalign Clear Aligner treatment * Spark Clear Aligner treatment
RETAINERS
Retainers are extremely important to help maintain the positioning of teeth after Orthodontic treatment. Fixed retainer: a thin wire that is applied across the front teeth or the back of the lower teeth, bonded with cement. This is the best option to hold straightened teeth in perfect position. Removable retainer: The removable retainer is a combination of a wire going across the front of the upper or lower front teeth, kept in place with acrylic material and hooks that insert in and around the back teeth to keep the retainer in place. This type of retainer makes it easier to keep your teeth clean, due to the fact that it is removable.
REMOVABLE BRACES
For minor treatment in order to straighten your teeth, removable braces could be an option. These braces consist of wires and a plastic plate, and can be removed for brushing, flossing and eating. Removable braces available: Functional Appliances: Functional appliances, also known as orthopaedic appliances, are braces used to stimulate jaw growth. They should be worn full-time to ensure treatment success and timing of treatment is of utmost importance. Removable Plates: These appliances are used for minor tooth movement or arch expansion. Wires and springs push the teeth into position. The wires or springs are not fixed to the teeth, so the plate can be removed, unlike traditional braces.
