Orthodontics

At Queen's Gate Dental Practice, we have a visiting specialist orthodontist to straighten your teeth. Our approach is caring and also highly effective and dedicated to achieving excellent results in the shortest time possible for our patients.

Our orthodontic treatment includes the re-alignment of teeth and bite to improve cosmetic appearance and resolve functional problems.

Invisalign can help you get the great smile you've always wanted because it's...

Invisible, so no one can tell you're straightening your teeth. So now you can smile more during treatment as well as after.

Removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem.

Comfortable, because it has no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments.

Invisalign® also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete. Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it's been proven effective in both clinical research and in practices nationwide.

How Does Invisalign® Work?

You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed.

You'll visit your orthodontist or dentist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.

Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

Metallic Braces

Self-ligating braces that use a unique slide mechanism to minimise the friction and binding associated with conventional braces –used to align teeth more quickly and comfortably

Clear Braces

An aesthetically pleasing alternative ideal for achieving the same precision of result as traditional metallic braces. You will forget you are wearing braces, and so will the people around you.

Lingual Braces

The new generation of lingual braces are designed to be worn behind the teeth so they do not show at all. They are becoming more comfortable so although it may take a little longer for patients to adapt to wearing them, many people choose them for their aesthetic qualities.
