Orthodontic Treatment for All Ages

Whether your child is growing and developing, your teenager is ready for braces, or you are an adult wanting to improve your smile, we can help you explore your options.

Children

An early orthodontic assessment can help identify developing problems with tooth alignment, crowding, bite and jaw development.

Early assessment does not always mean immediate treatment. In some cases, monitoring your child’s dental development is the best approach.

Teenagers

The teenage years are an important time for orthodontic treatment. We can assess tooth development and bite and recommend suitable treatment options, including braces and clear aligners where appropriate

Adults

It is never too late to improve your smile. Modern orthodontic options offer discreet and effective ways to straighten teeth and improve your bite.

Orthodontic Treatment Options

Conventional Braces

– Metal Braces

Traditional braces remain a reliable and effective option for correcting many types of tooth alignment and bite problems.

Brackets are attached to the teeth and connected with orthodontic wires, which are adjusted progressively throughout treatment.

Clear & Ceramic Braces

For patients looking for a more discreet appearance, tooth-coloured or ceramic braces may be an option.

They provide the benefits of fixed braces while being less noticeable.

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays designed to gradually move teeth into a more desirable position.

They can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing and may be suitable for selected orthodontic cases.

Orthodontic Retainers

Retainers are an important part of maintaining your orthodontic results after active treatment.

Your dentist will recommend the appropriate type of retainer and explain how and when it should be worn.

What Can Orthodontics Help With?

Orthodontic treatment may help address:

Crowded teeth

Crooked or rotated teeth

Gaps between teeth

Overbite

Underbite

Crossbite

Open bite

Dental midline discrepancies

Certain bite and alignment problems

Lack of space for developing teeth

Every smile is different, so your treatment options will depend on your individual dental and orthodontic needs.

Using modern Digital Orthodontic records, we develop a treatment approach based on your individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age should my child see a dentist about orthodontics?

There is no single age that is right for every child. An assessment during the growing years can help identify developing orthodontic concerns and determine whether treatment or monitoring is appropriate.

Can adults have orthodontic treatment?

Yes. Adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment too. Treatment options can include traditional braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners, depending on your individual needs.

Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?

Not every orthodontic case can be treated with clear aligners. During your consultation, we can assess whether aligners are an appropriate option for your teeth and bite.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment time varies considerably depending on the complexity of the case, the treatment method and individual response to treatment. Your estimated treatment time will be discussed during your consultation.

Do I need a referral?

You can contact Fairy Meadow Family Dental directly to arrange an orthodontic assessment. If your case requires specialist orthodontic care, we can discuss referral options with you.

What happens after braces or aligners?

Retention is an important part of orthodontic treatment. Retainers help maintain your teeth in their new positions after active treatment.
