Adult Orthodontic Treatment Options

If you think you could benefit from straighter teeth, the first step is an assessment with a specialist orthodontist. 

Simple treatment is largely reserved for minor problems where the basic function of your dentition (the way your teeth fit together) is close to ideal and where just minor adjustments need to be made to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Comprehensive treatment is a lot more involved and aims for the most ideal treatment outcome, where your upper and lower sets of teeth are perfectly aligned and function correctly.

We offer two types of invisible braces — the first, lingual braces, use wires and brackets like traditional braces, the difference being that they go on the inside of the teeth next to the tongue.

The second, Invisalign aligners — they are clear, removable and changed every 7 days for approximately 6-12 months (depending on treatment plan).

Fixed braces remain the most common type of orthodontic treatment and studies show that in 85 per cent of cases they deliver long lasting success. At embrace we offer ceramic fixed braces which are subtle in appearance compared to traditional stainless steel braces.
