Everyone wants the very best result from their orthodontic treatment and we have two highly-experienced Orthodontic Specialists available to our clients.
Dr. Pratik Sharma and Dr. Matthew Chia are both Hospital Consultants in Orthodontics and members of the British Orthodontic Society and European Orthodontic Society. They are established specialists in their field and have extensive expertise in treating both adults and children. They carry out comprehensive orthodontic assessments and prescribe appropriate orthodontic treatment based on the most effective system to achieve the desired result and the client's preferences and budget.
They use a full range of orthodontic treatments including the new, more aesthetically-pleasing orthodontic systems such as Invisalign ® (clear aligners), Clarity ® (tooth-coloured ceramic braces) and Incognito ® (invisible lingual braces). They also use Damon ® braces, traditional metal braces and offer various other options.
Orthodontic treatments are used to treat crooked teeth, spaced teeth, problems relating to extra teeth, missing teeth, crowded teeth and misaligned jaws. The correction of alignment problems can be undertaken at any age and, although many people still associate orthodontic treatment with childhood, the development of less noticeable braces has prompted many more adults to explore and opt for this line of treatment.
Orthodontics is designed to correct dental problems over a period of time, so the precise length of time will depend on each individual situation. Treatment may take anything from a few months to well over a year.
Clarity ® brackets are made from ceramic materials. They are designed to blend in with your teeth and smile, so are far less noticeable than traditional braces.
The Invisalign ® treatment uses a series of aligners that are clear and virtually invisible. While traditional braces need to be retightened regularly, Invisalign ® patients need only visit our orthodontists when it is time to pick up a new set of clear aligners. Invisalign ® wearers reap all the orthodontic benefits of traditional braces without letting anyone know that they are undergoing an orthodontic treatment.
Lingual braces are fitted to the inner surfaces of your teeth and provide the most "invisible" type of orthodontic treatment. These are fixed braces which are able to achieve effective tooth movement but with the advantage of the braces not being visible. The Incognito™ system offers the highest patient comfort that is technically possible and both of our orthodontists are Incognito™ certified and able to provide this type of orthodontic treatment.
Damon System braces are self-ligating brackets which allow the teeth to move freely, quickly and comfortably. Unlike conventional braces, Damon braces do not require elastic ties to hold the wire in place. This results in less plaque collection, making the dental hygiene easier to maintain throughout treatment. This system often requires fewer adjustments resulting in less interruption to your daily schedule.
Traditional metal braces are still an option to treat and realign crooked or gapped teeth.
If you are considering an orthodontic treatment, it is easy to arrange a consultation with one of our orthodontists to discuss options. To arrange a consultation, please Contact Us today.
