Fixed and removable braces

Braces come in all shapes and sizes depending on what type of correction the dentition needs. Most fixed braces consist of tooth coloured ceramic components and a thin wire strip used to move teeth into the correct place. Minor treatments can be managed with removable braces. Each patient's needs are different and the orthodontist will discuss all options open to you. Nowadays it is very common for adults to seek orthodontic treatment, mainly to provide minor corrections prior to cosmetic or implant work.

I had a check up and repair to a chipped front tooth. It was the most comprehensive check up I have had. I understood why I was having problems with my flossing from an excellent briefing using my X-rays and my chip was fixed by a dental artist. After six months it is still perfect and my next check up indicated my new flossing regime is working, hurrah!
