Orthodontics

Straight teeth, a healthier bite — a smile that lasts a lifetime.

What it is

Orthodontic treatment slowly and gently moves your teeth into the right position, using either fixed braces or clear removable aligners — to improve both how your smile looks and how comfortably you bite and chew.

Who it's for

Children whose teeth are still growing in, teenagers, and adults who never had braces or whose teeth have shifted over the years. It's never too late — many of our patients are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

What to expect on the day

After a full exam and digital scan, we sit down with you and walk through a personal plan — what to expect, how long it will take, and the cost from start to finish. Most visits afterwards are short, every 4–8 weeks.

How long it takes

Usually 12–24 months depending on the case.

We offer both the trusted traditional braces and modern clear aligner systems. There’s no single right answer — we’ll talk through the honest trade-offs together so you can choose what fits your life, your goals, and your budget.

Common questions

Everything you've wanted to ask

Am I too old for braces?

Not at all. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age — many of our patients are in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, finally getting the smile they always wanted. And if you'd rather no one noticed, clear aligners are a quiet, almost-invisible option for adults.

Clear aligners or traditional braces — which is better?

Both are good — it really depends on you. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, can be taken out for meals, and work beautifully for mild to moderate cases. Traditional braces give us more control for trickier cases and are usually a little gentler on the budget. Come in for a consultation and we'll talk through what makes most sense for your smile.

Do I need to wear a retainer forever?

Yes — teeth naturally want to drift a little over the years. A retainer worn at night is a small, easy habit that protects all the work you've done. We'll show you exactly how to look after it so your new smile stays straight for life.
