Orthodontics (tooth straightening)

This is where we can straighten and realign teeth that are out of natural alignment .

This can be done with removable appliances that the patient wears all the time but is able to take it out and place it back in again, it is used in the more simple cases like cross bites, where the tooth is on the wrong side of the opposite tooth.

Some require braces, which are permanently cemented on the teeth during the time of the treatment, then they are removed and retainers must be worn for a certain time.

Depending on the difficulty of the case a referral may be required to a specialist orthodontist for treatment .A consultation at the beginning of the treatment request will ensure the correct professional will see you for the correction of the problem.
