Orthodontic Treatment For adults
align teeth or correct dental issues with braces for adults
Braces for adults
We offer specialist orthodontic treatment that is designed for adults who wish to straighten their teeth or correct other dental issues. While braces are often associated with children and teenagers, many adults also choose to use braces to improve their oral health and appearance. Braces can be made from different materials, such as metal, ceramic, and plastic, and come in various styles to suit different needs and preferences. Some of the common types of braces for adults include traditional metal braces and clear braces, both of which are fixed braces. Removable braces or clear aligners are a very popular choice with adults, and well-known brands include Invisalign and Angel Aligners.
The decision to get braces as an adult is a personal one that should be made in consultation with a qualified orthodontist, who can recommend the best treatment options based on each individual's specific needs and goals.
A confident smile makes things happen
We highly recommend that you schedule a free consultation with us so that we can evaluate your unique treatment needs and determine if orthodontic treatment will be beneficial for you. The consultation will only take 20 minutes and our Treatment Coordinator will be available to assist you throughout the entire process. If you decide to proceed with the treatment, we will take photographs, impressions, and all necessary records.
Our Specialist Orthodontist will review the information you provide and determine the best treatment options for your specific needs. A customised treatment plan will then be created, and all associated costs will be discussed with complete transparency. This will typically take place during your initial appointment. If your case requires a more complex treatment, additional appointments may be necessary to ensure optimal results are achieved.
We Fit In With your lifestyle
Juggling orthodontic treatment with work and family commitments can be daunting. However, we are here to make it easy for you! Our orthodontic treatments are designed to fit into your busy lifestyle without any hassle. If you opt for Invisalign® treatment, we can provide you with the Dental Monitoring app for your smartphone, which allows us to track your progress remotely from the comfort of your home.
If you're unable to visit our clinic, don't worry! You can send us pictures of your smile through the app. We'll assess it and let you know if everything looks good. If it does, you won't even need to come into the clinic!
We understand that your schedule may be tight. That's why we offer Saturday and evening appointments, to ensure we can work around your schedule.
Our removable braces treatments require far fewer appointments than conventional braces. This means you'll have more time to do the things you love, without having to worry about frequent visits to the clinic.
