    Our Treatment Options

    We offer a range of orthodontic treatments to correct any issues, suitable for adults and children alike. Our most popular treatments include:

    Why Early Treatment Matters

    Early orthodontic treatment is crucial because it helps prevent more complex issues from developing later in life. Orthodontists typically recommend children have an orthodontic checkup around the age of 8 years old. By guiding jaw growth and correcting alignment problems like overcrowding and bite issues while a child’s mouth is still developing, treatment is often quicker and more effective. It can also address harmful habits such as thumb-sucking, improve oral function, and create space for permanent teeth to grow properly.

    Orthodontic treatment is also hugely beneficial to adults for the same reasons. Treatments can be a little slower since the jaw has fully developed, and adult teeth have already grown, but the same results and benefits can be achieved with orthodontic treatment for adults.

    All of our treatment options are shaped by each mouth we work with, so if you’re an adult in need of treatment, please don’t hesitate to schedule a free consultation.

    FAQs

    Will orthodontic treatment hurt?

    There may be some discomfort when braces or aligners are first applied or adjusted, but this is typically mild and temporary.

    What happens after braces or aligners are removed?

    After treatment, you’re likely to need a retainer at night to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

    What causes orthodontic issues?

    Orthodontic issues can be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors; issues such as underbites or overbites are usually inherited, whereas physical trauma can cause other problems. Regardless of how your problem has arisen, we’ll have a solution!

    How often will I need to visit the Orthodontist?

    Typically, you'll need to visit the Orthodontist every 6-8 weeks for adjustments, but this varies depending on the treatment plan.
