One of the largest growths in the Cosmetic Dental industry is Orthodontics or braces procedures.  T.V. shows and media press have increased public awareness about cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics (braces) are a way to achieve the cosmetic dental result that people want.

What is Orthodontics?

A cosmetic dental procedure where teeth can be moved to improve function, aesthetics and long term health.

Who carries out Orthodontics (Braces)?

An Orthodontist (a Dentist with specialist training in Orthodontics) usually carries out Orthodontic (Braces) procedures.

Who has Orthodontics (Braces)?

• People who wish to improve the appearance of their teeth.
• People with crooked teeth.
• People with Gaps between their teeth.
• People with protruding or intruding teeth.
• People with deep overbite or open bite.
• Or a Combination of the above.

Orthodontics (braces) involves a few visits at the Orthodontic cosmetic dental clinic to achieve the aesthetic smile you want. It could take anything from a few weeks to 18 months to get the desired result.

Combination of Orthodontics (Braces) and other Cosmetic Dental procedures:

Orthodontics (Braces) can move teeth very successfully and get amazing results. However if your teeth are chipped or broken, then other cosmetic dentistry may be required. Teeth can be fixed using cosmetic bonding, porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns by a Cosmetic Dentist.

Some gaps (missing teeth) may need to be replaced by dental implants, a dental bridge or a cosmetic denture. This will then need an Implant dentist or a Cosmetic Dentist for the additional procedures.

Unsightly or unshapely teeth can be corrected to give a perfect smile by porcelain veneers or a Smile Makeover. This will need the expertise of a Cosmetic Dentist.

After Orthodontic (Braces) correction Gummy smiles or uneven gum lengths can be corrected by a gum lift or gum recontouring by a Cosmetic Dentist.

Discoloured teeth that have good shape can be whitened with professional teeth whitening. This could be Laser teeth whitening or Home teeth whitening or both. Again this would be carried out by a Cosmetic Dentist.

If teeth are severely discoloured then porcelain veneers (smile makeover) would be the cosmetic dental treatment of choice carried out by a Cosmetic Dentist.

Therefore Orthodontics (braces) is a key part of Cosmetic Dentistry where an Orthodontist will work closely with a Cosmetic Dentist to get the best aesthetic result for each individual.
