Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that corrects irregularities of the teeth and jaw.

Depending upon the problem, treatment can vary from straightening crooked or protruding teeth to reconstructive work on the jaw itself.

Children and adults of all ages can benefit from orthodontic treatment to improve their appearance and reduce the likelihood of tooth damage in the future. There is no age limit to orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic appliances ("braces") can be ether removable or fixed permanently to the teeth. They can be made of metal or ceramic (clear). Some patients may be suitable for a revolutionary type of "invisible" brace.

Orthodontics is carried out on an out patient basis. Most orthodontic treatment takes 15 - 24 months to complete with appointments every 4-6 weeks. The overall cost of orthodontic treatment will depend on the complexity of your treatment needs, the length of treatment and the type of braces used. Arranging a preliminary orthodontic consultation is the first place to start.
