Orthodontics
There have been many advancements in the field of orthodontics in recent years. The development of new finer braces, clear and tooth coloured aligners enables both children and adults to take advantage of the many benefits of orthodontic treatments.

There are various reasons why orthodontic treatment may be recommended. In addition to straightening your teeth for a perfect smile, orthodontics also ensures your jaw and facial bone structure is aligned correctly, preventing bite problems, which can lead to headaches, neck pain or bruxism (clenching and grinding) of your teeth.

Formerly prescribed for teenage children, orthodontics is not being used to treat children as young as eight. By intervening at this early age, the teeth and facial bones are easier to guide into their optimal position as they are still developing, this can mean less treatment time and may even negate the need for metal braces.
The introduction of clear aligners, tooth coloured braces and braces that can be placed behind the teeth making them almost invisible mean that many adults too are opting for orthodontic treatments to correct dental problems that may extend back to their childhood or have developed over time after they have stopped growing.
