Clear/Invisible Braces For Adults

There is new technology that is nearly invisible that will straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners instead of traditional braces.  We offer Invisalign treatment aligners.  These aligners are made by taking an impression of your teeth and using 3-D computer technology and translating your Specialist Orthodontist’s instructions into a series of precisely customised aligners for both your top and bottom teeth.

You then wear each set of aligners day and night for about two weeks, moving your teeth gradually – week by week, millimetre by millimetre – until you’ve achieved the intended result: straight teeth.  The average treatment time is around 12 to 18 months which is about the same treatment time for traditional braces.

Whether your teeth are crowded or too far apart, you’ll have a new reason to smile without worrying about people seeing you with braces. This method of treatment isn’t suitable for everyone, but your Specialist Orthodontist will let you know if the treatment is right for you.

Self-ligating Braces

Conventional braces use clear or coloured modules. We use new self ligating braces which reduces the friction and generally shortens movement time, allows for more time between visits and results in less pressure, pain and decay to teeth.
