Treatment Options
EARLY TREATMENT
We see children of all ages to assess their orthodontic needs. Usually, an orthodontic assessment between the ages of 8-10 years is recommended to assess emerging adult teeth. In most cases, early treatment will not be required, but we will monitor your child's dental development. However, there are a number of dental conditions where your child may benefit from earlier orthodontic treatment.
BRACES
Braces are the most commonly used method to straighten teeth, and can be used for teenagers and adults. These days classic braces can be subtle and ceramic, or metal with the option of choosing fun colours if you want to be a little bold.
CLEAR ALIGNERS
ADULT TREATMENT
If you are wanting to be more discreet during your orthodontic treatment, Aligners, including Invisalign, are an alternative to braces in select cases.
We welcome adults seeking orthodontic treatment to be able to smile with confidence. We offer a range of treatment options for adults including clear braces and aligners. As a specialist orthodontist, Marguerite is expertly placed to manage your orthodontic journey.
