Orthodontics
Whether you’re considering fixed braces or clear aligners, we’ll take the time to understand what you’d like to improve and carefully assess your teeth and bite.
Orthodontic treatment can help with concerns such as crowding, spacing and bite problems. We’ll explain which options may be suitable for you, what treatment involves and what you can expect before you decide how you’d like to proceed.
Come in and talk with one of our dentists about your smile and what you’d like to change. We’ll assess your teeth and bite, discuss whether braces or clear aligners may be suitable for you, and answer any questions you have about treatment.
Your first orthodontic consultation is free. It takes about 20 minutes with one of our dentists, and no scans or X-rays are needed at this first visit. If braces or clear aligners suit you, we’ll give you a clear quote and talk you through your payment options.

Treating crowded teeth
Braces or clear aligners may be used to gradually move crowded teeth into a healthier, more balanced position.
Improving the bite
Orthodontic treatment can help improve the way your teeth come together, with the most suitable option depending on your individual bite and treatment needs.
Closing gaps and aligning teeth
Braces and clear aligners can both be used to manage spacing and alignment concerns, depending on what’s right for your smile.
The basics
Braces and Clear Aligners can both be used to gradually move teeth into a healthier, more balanced position. The right option will depend on your teeth, bite, treatment needs and what works best for your lifestyle.
Fixed braces use brackets and wires to guide the teeth over time, while Clear Aligners use a series of removable, custom made trays. Each option has its own benefits, and not every treatment is suitable for every patient.
We’ll carefully assess your teeth and bite, listen to what matters to you and talk you through the options so you can understand which approach may be most suitable.
Why patients choose orthodontic treatment
We’ll assess your teeth and bite carefully and recommend the orthodontic option that may be most suitable for your individual needs.
Fixed braces and clear aligners work in different ways, and each can be useful for different types of orthodontic concerns.
Your treatment is planned to gradually move your teeth into a healthier, more balanced position, with regular reviews along the way.
We’ll monitor your progress, make any adjustments needed and keep you informed throughout your orthodontic treatment.
What to expect
We’ll assess your teeth and bite, listen to what you’d like to improve and talk you through whether braces or clear aligners may be suitable for you.
Once you’re ready to proceed, we’ll take your orthodontic records, which may include photos, scans and any X-rays needed to plan your treatment. We’ll then create a personalised treatment plan and explain the expected timeline, appointments and costs before treatment begins.
Whether you choose braces or clear aligners, we’ll review your progress regularly and make any adjustments needed as your teeth gradually move.
Once your active treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to help maintain your new tooth positions and explain how to look after your smile long term.

Good to know
It’s normal to feel some pressure or tenderness when braces are first fitted, after adjustments, or when you change to a new set of aligners. This usually settles as your mouth adjusts. We’ll let you know what to expect and give you simple advice to help keep you comfortable throughout treatment.
Both braces and clear aligners can be great options for straightening teeth, but the right choice will depend on your teeth, bite and individual treatment needs. We’ll assess your smile carefully, talk through what matters to you and explain the benefits of each option so you can make a decision that feels right for you.
Treatment time is different for everyone and depends on your teeth, bite and the type of movement needed. Once we’ve completed your assessment and orthodontic records, we’ll give you a clearer idea of the expected treatment timeframe and talk you through what to expect along the way.
Yes, absolutely. Orthodontic treatment can be suitable for adults as well as younger patients, depending on the health of your teeth and gums and your individual treatment needs. We’ll assess your teeth and bite, talk through what you’d like to improve and explain whether braces, clear aligners or another option may be suitable for you.
The cost of orthodontic treatment is very case dependent and will vary depending on your teeth, bite, treatment type and how long treatment is expected to take. Once we’ve completed your assessment and orthodontic records, we’ll provide a clear, itemised estimate and talk you through the costs before you decide how you’d like to proceed.
