Orthodontics
We believe that a healthy and beautiful smile is an essential aspect of overall health and well-being.
That's why we offer orthodontic services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Orthodontics is a proactive approach to straightening your teeth and correcting bite problems. It involves the use of various dental appliances to shift teeth into their correct positions over time. This not only improves the appearance of your smile but also enhances your oral health by reducing the risk of decay and gum disease.
Our experienced orthodontic team uses the latest technology and techniques to provide comprehensive and personalized care. We offer a range of orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces, clear braces, and Invisalign, to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted.
Regular orthodontic check-ups and adjustments are crucial to the success of your treatment. Our team will work closely with you to ensure that your treatment plan is effective and meets your needs. We will also provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your orthodontic appliances and maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.

What are SureSmile aligners?
SureSmile is a type of clear aligner plastic tray individually made to straighten teeth. They are made by digital scans of your teeth by experts using the latest technology and proven materials. You are given sets of trays at the commencement of your treatment. The trays will be changed every two weeks as each set will have a new position for your teeth to move into. This self managed treatment means less visits to your dentist for adjustments - this means more free time for those with a busy schedule.
