Fixed braces

Fixed-braces can address all bite and teeth misalignment issues, from mild to severe cases.

These consist of an archwire and brackets which are attached to the tooth surface. During appointments, the orthodontist tightens the wire, which applies gentle pressure onto the teeth and gradually moves them into the correct position. This pressure also creates tension in the periodontal ligament, which stimulates new bone growth and secures the new position of the tooth.

Clear, Discreet Fixed-Braces: Damon Clear Braces

High-tech alternatives to traditional fixed-braces include Damon Braces. These are a discreet, clear ceramic colour and incredibly fast-acting – reducing treatment time by up to 6 months compared to other fixed braces on the market!

These use self-litigating technology, eliminating the need for elastic bands which can cause discomfort and self-consciousness, and is therefore much gentler on the teeth and sensitive mouth tissue. The brackets open and close like a door, making it easier to tighten the wire – this reduces the number of tightening appointments required with the orthodontist.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a popular alternative to fixed-braces, due to being very discreet in appearance. These are made from a clear plastic which covers the teeth, and therefore far less noticeable than wires and brackets!

During your orthodontic treatment, you will have a set of custom-made clear retainers made which gradually move the teeth into the correct position. Before your treatment, you can view how your teeth will look after the using a digital smile simulation.

Invisalign and Spark Aligners are the two most popular Clear Aligners in the market, both are discreet, comfortable and fast-acting.

Teeth whitening

At the end of your treatment, you will be able to whiten your teeth once your fixed-braces or clear aligner attachments have been removed. Your smile makeover transformation will be complete – whiter, straighter and healthier teeth

Composite Bonding

After whitening your newly straightened teeth, you will be able to further enhance your new smile with a composite bonding smile makeover. This is a pain-free, reversible treatment in which composite is layered onto each tooth and skilfully shaped by the dentist. Composite bonding is perfect for covering chips, cracks, uneven edges and comes in all different shades so your teeth can stay white for longer.

Porcelain Veneers

If you are looking for a highly aesthetic and long-term enhancement of your teeth, Emax porcelain veneers could be the perfect treatment. These are stain-resistant, super-durable and natural-looking, typically lasting 15-20 years. Emax Porcelain Veneers normally only require less than 1mm of dental preparation due to being ultra-thin.

It is important to wear your retainer after completing your orthodontic treatment, otherwise your teeth will gradually move back into their original position!
