Orthodontics – braces

What is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry which helps correct the position of your teeth and jaws, with aim of establishing a beautifully balanced smile, normal bite and improved self-esteem & confidence.

Who should have Orthodontics?

Treatment can be provided at ANY age from childhood to adulthood, with modern braces which are tooth-coloured (such as the Clarity TM Braces © 3M Unitek,) and designed to achieve optimal results in the shortest time permissible. Orthodontics in CHILDREN is designed to treat a wide range of problems from: Crooked teeth Protruding front teeth Reverse bites Missing teeth, and unattractive Gaps between the teeth

Orthodontics in ADULTS can be used to treat the same range of problems seen in children, with increasing numbers of adults now seeking treatment as the benefits of braces in achieving beautiful natural smiles is becoming more evident. With specialist training the orthodontist can work with your dentist, periodontist, implantologist for a smile that looks as great as it feels.

How do I get brace treatment?

In the first instance you will require a consultation appointment with Dr Johal, to discuss the options for treatment. Following this, brace treatment can be easily organised. Orthodontic appliances may be fixed or removable, depending on the treatment required. Dr. Ama Johal provides high quality orthodontic treatment to both adults and children in a relaxed environment, using not only traditional braces, but also more aesthetic options such as Clarity ceramic brackets, Invisalign and Incognito lingual (on the inside) braces.
