Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that
corrects irregularities of the teeth and jaw.
Depending upon the problem, treatment can vary
from straightening crooked or protruding teeth to
reconstructive work on the jaw itself.
Children and adults of all ages can
benefit from orthodontic treatment to improve
their appearance and reduce the likelihood of
tooth damage in the future. There is no age limit
to orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic appliances
("braces") can be ether removable or fixed
permanently to the teeth. They can be made of
metal or ceramic (clear). Some patients may be
suitable for a revolutionary type of "invisible"
brace.
Orthodontics is carried out on an
out patient basis. Most orthodontic treatment
takes 15 - 24 months to complete with appointments
every 4-6 weeks. The overall cost of orthodontic
treatment will depend on the complexity of your
treatment needs, the length of treatment and the
type of braces used. Arranging a preliminary
orthodontic consultation is the first place to
start.
