What are the different kinds of braces I could use?

You could consider a number of different types of braces if you want to straighten your smile. We certainly offer children’s orthodontics, as once the permanent teeth come through, then these can be straightened. Braces, however, are not only just for children. There are a number of different treatments that you could consider to straighten your smile as an adult, because your teeth can still be straightened if your gums and bones are healthy.

Clear fixed braces are on offer which can allow you to straighten your smile without having to worry about how your teeth will look during treatment. Iconix is another option that you could consider, it combines stainless steel brackets which are champagne coloured with clear ligatures to ensure that your treatment blends in with your smile. Invisalign, a form of removable, clear aligner can also be used to gently and efficiently straighten your smile with subtlety.

Using a different approach, lingual braces are a form of fixed teeth straightening device that sits behind the teeth. It still uses brackets and wires, but is unobtrusive, giving you more options when it comes to straightening your smile. After you have had your treatment, our dentist will work with you to make sure that your smile stays in the right place.
