Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists help straighten teeth, correct misaligned bites, and improve overall oral health through customised treatment plans. Using treatments such as braces, clear aligners, and retainers, our orthodontists guide teeth into their optimal positions, improving both function and aesthetics. Beyond cosmetic improvements, orthodontics improves oral health by reducing risks of cavities, gum disease, and jaw discomfort.

Orthodontics Treatment

Across our clinics, we take a personalised approach to orthodontics and teeth straightening. Each patient that walks through our doors begins their journey with a comprehensive consultation, where our orthodontists assess their specific dental needs using diagnostic tools like our 3D imaging and digital scans. These tools help us to offer a variety of orthodontic treatments, including traditional metal braces and modern clear aligners, and Invisalign that fit the patient's lifestyle and dental health goals.

Our orthodontic treatments also focus on improving bite function, addressing problems like overbites, underbites, and crossbites. We prioritise the overall oral health of our patients, making sure that the alignment process helps prevent future dental complications such as uneven wear of teeth, difficulty chewing, and speech impediments. Our orthodontists closely monitor each patient’s progress, adjusting as necessary to deliver optimal results.

Treatments vary depending on the severity of the case and the patient’s age, with options such as metal braces, ceramic braces, and clear aligners. While minor corrections can be completed within six months, more complex cases may require up to 2 years. Orthodontics is not just for children; adults can also benefit from treatment to correct dental alignment issues. Regular check-ups are crucial to ensure steady progress and to make any modifications needed to the treatment plan.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments

Braces

Fixed braces, commonly known as traditional metal braces, remain one of the most effective solutions for complex orthodontic issues. Using metal brackets, wires, and bands, fixed braces gradually guide teeth into their optimal position by applying constant pressure. They are ideal for patients who require precise control over tooth movement, making them suitable for both minor and more severe misalignments.

While metal braces are the most common, there are other options such as ceramic braces, which are less noticeable due to their tooth-coloured appearance. Fixed braces offer reliable results and are particularly beneficial for younger patients or those with more complex orthodontic needs like severe crowding, overbites, or underbites.

Advantages of Teeth Braces:

Highly Effective: Excellent for correcting even the most complex dental issues.
Variety of Options: Available in metal or ceramic for a more aesthetic appeal.
Durable: Strong and effective, ensuring continuous tooth movement.
Comprehensive Treatment: Capable of treating more severe bite and alignment problems.

Though treatment durations can vary, patients with braces typically achieve optimal results within 12 to 36 months. Regular adjustments by our orthodontist are crucial to ensure the treatment stays on track and delivers the desired outcome.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a nearly invisible, comfortable, and convenient way to straighten teeth. Made from durable, transparent plastic, these aligners are custom-moulded to fit your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position.

Clear aligners (invisible braces) are removable, allowing for easy maintenance of oral hygiene. You can continue to eat your favourite foods without restriction, and there’s no need to worry about broken wires or brackets. This makes clear aligners an excellent choice for both adults and teens who want to align their teeth without altering their appearance.

Benefits of Clear Aligners:

Discreet: Virtually invisible, perfect for those who prefer a subtle treatment.
Comfort: Smooth plastic surfaces minimise irritation to the cheeks and gums.
Convenience: Removable for eating and cleaning, ensuring better oral hygiene.
Custom Fit: Tailored to each patient’s unique dental needs for effective results.

Essix Retainers

Essix retainers are a popular choice for maintaining straight teeth after our orthodontic treatments (braces and clear aligners). Made from clear, durable plastic, these custom-fit retainers are designed to hold your teeth in their new positions, keeping them straight, preventing any shifting or movement. They are virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for ongoing dental care. Across our clinics, we offer Essix retainers at an affordable price of just €150.
