We care about your teeth and can make your smile beautifully straight.
Orthodontic treatment can be started early with removable plates or early braces. Removable plates or appliances can correct minor tooth irregularities and also jaw relationships and reduce the bite problems later.
Malocclusions and bite problems can be corrected as kids grow so don’t wait until all the adult teeth are in the mouth before you have your first orthodontic examination. Dr Deborah Sykes will recommend the best time to start an orthodontic treatment depending on the problem.
Colourful braces are popular amongst young patients and teenagers. The colours are little elastics that fasten the wire to the brace on the teeth. Colours can be changed at orthodontic visits so they look great and are fun. Orthodontic braces can also be plain or clear. The choice is yours!
Clear braces or adult braces are made of porcelain. Clear templates can also be used for more discreet orthodontic treatment. A popular method and brand name is ‘Invisalign’. These clear templates will straighten teeth by putting selective pressure on teeth to move them into a straighter position in the mouth. There are lots of orthodontic problems and the best way to find out what is best for you and your teeth is see a specialist orthodontist, Dr Deborah Sykes.

FAQs
Is it always possible to have braces as an adult?
Age is not necessarily a limiting factor. It more often depends on the type of bite you have, the position of your teeth and the condition of both your teeth and gums. For instance, if you have active gum disease, it is important this is brought under control before having braces.
Why might I need orthodontic treatment?
Common reasons for having orthodontic treatments are: To improve the appearance of the teeth and face. Perhaps your teeth have become more crowded with age or have started to drift following gum disease. To move teeth prior to crown or bridgework, to improve the health of the teeth and gums, to improve function (i.e. to make it easier to eat).
Is it painful?
Having the braces fitted is not painful. However, it is common to have slightly tender teeth for 3-5 days after the fitting and after each adjustment.
How long will treatment take?
It usually takes 12-24 months but will vary according to how complex your case is.
If teeth need to be extracted, who will do this?
Your own dentist will usually do this.
