Orthodontics
Fixed Appliance
Invisalign - straighten your teeth with clear, invisible braces
Orthodontics involves moving the teeth using a variety of techniques.
Treatment can be carried out on both children and adults. At your first
visit
Dr Muwahid, our orthodontist will carry out an initial
assessment. She will find out what your concerns are and after a
thorough clinical examination a tailor made plan will be formulated
which is specific to your needs and requirements. There will often be
different treatment options. Rana will discuss the pros and cons of
each so that you will be fully informed about your treatment.
A variety of techniques are employed here at Ethicare Dental. These include fixed braces where the brackets can be of the standard metallic type or white brackets which are obviously far more cosmetic. There are various systems available which can be employed within fixed appliance therapy including the Damon system. Removable appliance therapy can also be employed. The Inman aligner is an example of such a system.
