What is orthodontics?

Moving teeth into line, gently.

Braces or clear aligners apply steady, gentle pressure that moves teeth into a better position over time. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and bite better.

Good to know

Your questions, answered.

Am I too old for braces?

No. Teeth can be moved at any age, as long as the gums and bone around them are healthy.

Braces or clear aligners?

Braces work for nearly every case. Clear aligners are almost invisible and removable, and suit many mild to moderate cases.

Do braces hurt?

Teeth feel tender for a few days after fitting and after each adjustment. Soft food and simple painkillers help.
