Orthodontics - What is Orthodontics

In some cases teeth may need to be removed to create space in order to align your teeth. We try to minimise the number of teeth extracted by using the most modern applinces and techniques. If you do require teeth to be removed your own dentist will remove them for you and we will liaise with them directly.

At the end of fixed appliance treatment all patients are provided with retainers. These are usually removable braces which must be worn as instructed in order to keep your teeth straight while they settle into their new position. Failure to wear your retainers can result in your teeth moving.
