Orthodontics is possible, even if you're no longer a teenager. These days, more and more adults are discovering the benefits of orthodontic treatment in later life. Age should not be considered a barrier to enhancing the appearance, health and function of your smile with Orthodontics.
Straightening crowded teeth can improve the look of your smile and make hygiene and chewing easier. Orthodontics is one way to achieve an ideal aesthetic result and good chewing function if complex issues exist.
Modern orthodontic treatments can now include clear aligner therapies. This is orthodontics without fixed braces. Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved through a series of sequential clear plastic trays called aligners. Aligners are worn over your teeth and apply pressure to the teeth to reposition them over time. Trusted systems like Invisalign®, Spark Aligners®, Angel Aligner® or Smartee Aligners® are leaders in clear aligner orthodontics, and are offered through our practice (in-house or specialist referral), depending on individual needs. Results with aligners are still achieved safely, but much faster than previously thought possible. Best of all, they are hardly noticeable and you can remove them to eat and clean your teeth!
