Braces
Today’s braces are far superior to their traditional counterparts, both aesthetically and technically. Below, you’ll find a brief guide to the different kinds of brace I offer. To me, braces are not only a method of straightening crooked or over-crowded teeth, they are a way of restoring a functional bite to create a better balance and harmony of your whole face; I do not believe in treating just my patients’ teeth in isolation, for me, your teeth are always a part of you and your face.
I favour treatment that does not require anything too extreme, such as extraction or headgear. I much prefer to work with light, gentle forces. My approach is caring but it’s also highly effective and dedicated to achieving excellent results in the shortest time possible for my patients.
Metallic Braces
Self-ligating braces that use a unique slide mechanism to minimise the friction and binding associated with conventional braces –used to align teeth more quickly and comfortably
Clear Braces
An aesthetically pleasing alternative ideal for achieving the same precision of result as traditional metallic braces. You will forget you are wearing braces, and so will the people around you.
Lingual Braces
The new generation of lingual braces are designed to be worn behind the teeth so they do not show at all. They are becoming more comfortable so although it may take a little longer for patients to adapt to wearing them, many people choose them for their aesthetic qualities.
