Orthodontic » Fixed Braces and Removable Braces

Braces are no longer just for the children. Adult orthodontics is now a big part of our treatment plans, especially with the advent of the more aesthetic “invisible” braces.

We can arrange for you to see a specialist Orthodontist who will discuss with you the options for correcting crooked, crowded and overlapping teeth using braces.

Fixed Braces

Patients who suffer from crossbite often have a classic V shaped arch.

A removable appliance is custom made to fit the shape of each patient's mouth.

Slowly, over months, it is expanded using the adjustment in the appliance.

Finally, the arch becomes U shaped.

Removable Braces

A bracket is fitted to each tooth.

A wire is then connected to each bracket.

Coloured bands secure the wire to the brackets.

Many different band colours are available.

Slowly, over several months, the wire is shortened pulling the teeth gently into line.
