Braces(Orthodontic)

‘Ortho’ in Greek means straight or making something straight, ‘donte’ means teeth, hence orthodontics means the science and arts of making teeth appear straight or align.

Our dentists are experienced and have been providing orthodontic treatment for patients for many years.

We use a variety of methods to align teeth, among them are removable appliances, metal and ceramic self-ligating braces as well as Invisible clear aligners.

Patients who had their braces many years ago are bringing their children in to have their teeth straightened.

We are extremely blessed to enjoy a constant stream of referrals from satisfied patients over the years.

Meticulous oral hygiene is necessary to keep your teeth and gums clean during braces treatment to avoid dental caries, "white spots" around the brackets and gum swelling.
