Our Dental Clinic & Orthodontic Centre focuses strongly on preventive dental care.
By straightening crooked teeth, we can prevent your teenager experiencing needless dental issues later in life Orthodontic braces are the best solution to ensure your teenager can enjoy a healthy and straight smile. Braces are often used to correct under bites, malocclusions (misaligned teeth), over bites, cross bites and crooked teeth. The initial consultation with our dental team usually includes a visual evaluation of your teenager’s teeth and facial structure. To help ensure proper treatment we will then proceed with creating diagnostic records using X-rays, photographs and making a model of your child’s teeth. These diagnostic tools allow us to formulate the correct treatment plan.
Orthodontic treatment involves the design and use of corrective appliances such as dental braces, plates and micro implants, among others. Braces move the teeth by exerting a constant light pressure to them. In response to pressure, a tooth will move slowly through the jaw bone. This process will cause some tenderness, but most people report that the discomfort is minor. Current technology means that the braces and other appliances used today are more comfortable, ‘fashionable' and effective than ever before. While multi-coloured or one colour braces can make a fashion statement about you, natural tooth-coloured (ceramic) braces are barely visible.
