Braces

Braces, or orthodontic treatment, are used to correct teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. The goal is to gently and gradually move your teeth into their ideal alignment. This not only creates a beautiful, straight smile but also improves your overall oral health by making teeth easier to clean and correcting your bite.

Who is this suitable for?

Braces are a great option for both teens and adults who have:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth.
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth.
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite issues.
  • Jaw or bite alignment problems (malocclusion).

Conventional

The traditional type, using metal brackets and colourful elastic bands to hold the wire in place.

Self-Ligating

These modern braces use a special clip or door mechanism built into the bracket to hold the wire, eliminating the need for elastic bands. This can lead to greater comfort and potentially faster treatment times.

Damon

A specific, well-known brand of self-ligating braces that uses a passive slide mechanism, reducing friction and allowing for very gentle, efficient tooth movement.

Implants

Is the implant surgery painful?

The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. Post-surgery discomfort is typically mild and can be easily managed with common pain relievers.

Implants

How long does the entire implant process take?

The process can take a few months from start to finish. This allows time for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration) before the final crown is attached.
