what braces system would suit me? invisalign, lingual, ceramic, self-ligating, metal braces.
We compare all treatment types such as Invisalign, metal, ceramic, self-ligating and lingual invisible braces and recommend you the best option based on your dental needs, case complexity, lifestyle choices, treatment time, and budget.
Extraction vs non-extraction what are my options?
Each orthodontic case is different. We analyze your skeletofacial issues and recommend the best treatment option. In some cases, teeth extraction is required and in others teeth can be straightened without the need for teeth extraction. Our main aim is always to restore optimum facial harmony and correct your bite to its best occlusion. With the new intraoral digital scanner technology we can scan your teeth and run multiple 3D simulations to compare teeth extraction versus non-teeth-extraction scenarios to help you decide your treatment course.
Can I see my treatment stimulation results before starting treatment?
Yes, we have the latest digital scanner technology available,- so we can show you exactly what your teeth will look like after treatment. We take a digital scan of your teeth and show you how your teeth will move during your treatment stages. Patients find it comforting to see their treatment results before even starting out the treatment.
Surgical Vs Non-surgical Treatment?
Some orthodontic cases may require surgical orthodontic treatment (jaw surgery) for ideal results. In this scenario, we provide our opinion on what percentage of correction if possible can be achieved by non-surgical treatment vs Surgical treatment and compare the risks and benefits between surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
Do you do treatments like Myobraces or Fast braces?
No, we do not provide treatments like Myobraces or Fastbraces due to a lack of clinical evidence. There is no clinical evidence available to support these systems and their claims.
Can my child be treated with orthodontic plates?
We do offer early orthodontics options for children aged between 6- and 11. This is often called early interceptive or phase 1 orthodontics. Our specialist orthodontists will help you understand the underline problem and formulate a suitable plan for your child.
Can I have a second opinion after my consultation?
Getting orthodontic treatment is a major decision; if you are not sure you can always seek a second opinion. It is important that any second opinion is from a specialist orthodontist.
What happens after the initial consultation?
You're one step closer to achieving your beautifully straight smile! After your consultation, we will schedule your second appointment to start out your orthodontic treatment. During the second appointment, your orthodontic appliance is placed on your teeth. Usually, this appointment takes up to 90 minutes and is pain-free. If you require any tooth extractions or general dental work prior to your orthodontic treatment, you are booked with a general dentist and then with an orthodontist to place your orthodontic appliance.
