SERVICES

• Lingual Braces for Adults and Children
  We offer discreet lingual braces for adults and teenagers who prioritise aesthetics. These braces attach to the back of the teeth, making them virtually invisible. With our expertise and dedication, we ensure a comfortable and effective treatment process.
• Preventative Orthodontic Treatment
  Early intervention prevents more complex orthodontic issues later. Therefore, we recommend assessments for children between ages 7 and 10 to identify and correct potential problems before they escalate.
• Adult Orthodontic Treatment
  Orthodontic care is not just for children. In fact, we help adults correct misalignments, improve bite function, and restore facial aesthetics. Our customised treatments specifically address concerns such as crooked teeth, jaw discomfort, and T.M. joint issues.
• Orthodontic Treatment for Children
  We use a two-phase approach for children. First, phase one focuses on early correction to guide proper facial development, thereby reducing the need for future extractions or surgery. Then, phase two, if necessary, involves braces to refine alignment once permanent teeth emerge.
