Orthodontics

Poorly aligned teeth do more than complicate a smile: they make brushing harder, encourage plaque to build up, and can in the long run weaken the gums and the jaw joint. Orthodontics corrects these misalignments, in children and adults alike.

What this treatment includes

• A full orthodontic assessment, examining the misalignments;
• Invisible aligners, for discreet day-to-day treatment;
• Fixed braces, for more complex corrections;
• Regular follow-up, until the desired result is achieved.

At what age should treatment start?

For children, a first assessment is generally recommended as soon as the first permanent teeth appear, so that any misalignment can be anticipated. For adults, there is no age limit: orthodontic treatment remains possible for as long as the gums and bone are healthy.
