Orthodontics is the use of fixed traditional, clear aligners and invisible braces. Orthodontics corrects crooked, spaced and misaligned teeth and jaws and can be used for children, teens and adults. At Twelve Dental we offer the latest innovations in braces to ensure you get outstanding results.
Teeth do not always erupt in the correct position and there can be lifestyle and external factors which cause teeth to move into unwanted positions.
Using fixed braces, clear aligners and invisible braces, orthodontic treatment can improve the health and stability of teeth as well as their appearance, producing beautiful and healthy smiles.
He will take the time to determine and discuss which treatment works best for you and your lifestyle! He has extensive experience and a range of knowledge of orthodontic appliances which will enhance your experience and treatment results.
We not only use the best materials available for orthodontic treatment. But, also offer state-of-the-art and innovative technologies to enhance your patient journey and results. This can also minimise your treatment duration. Often with a reduction in treatment time by 30-40%!
They may be placed under review until they are ready to start treatment. Or, early orthodontics may be started. This is sometimes required to aid and alter growth and jaw positions. (To help achieve ideal jaw positions and widths).
We usually recommend fixed braces for children. They tend to enjoy having coloured elastics. But, for the more image-conscious teen, we have tooth coloured braces and even InvisalignTeen.
Dr Anthony Lam specialises in hidden braces. Lingual braces are a modern and invisible alternative to conventional braces. They are fixed to the back of your teeth, making them the only truly invisible orthodontic appliances.
We are also Invisalign providers, for those patients seeking discreet braces without having them fixed to their teeth.
