The aim of orthodontic treatment is to align the teeth and jaws, balance them with the rest of the face, and to improve aesthetics & function.
In the past the extraction of permanent teeth as a means of creating space to align teeth was common, however by utilising contemporary techniques and materials for arch expansion, this is no longer necessary most of the time. The decision is now based on the facial profile rather than the need for space.
Computerised analysis of the facial skeleton with Quick Ceph Studio is carried out prior to treatment to relate the size and position of the upper and lower jaws to each other, to the skull base, the face and teeth to determine ultimate results.

You can choose between the more traditional types of braces, or the more discreet options such as Invisalign (from £1,995); lingual braces (from £3,000); and Inman aligners (from £1,095).
Orthodontic treatment can be carried out on children or adults, and treatment time is now shorter than ever before, again because of newer materials.
