Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that straightens teeth and corrects the way the upper and lower jaws meet, using fixed braces, removable clear aligners and related appliances. By guiding teeth gradually into a better position, it improves both the look of a smile and the everyday functions of biting, chewing and cleaning. Treatment suits children, teenagers and adults alike, and modern options such as tooth-coloured braces and near-invisible aligners have made it discreet enough that many adults now choose it. Because a full course usually needs only a few in-person visits spread over many months, orthodontics fits naturally into care planned partly from home, and many people begin the journey with a remote assessment before travelling for the fitting.
