The development of new lightweight, tooth coloured, clear and even removable appliances means that orthodontic treatment is vastly different to the old-fashioned metal braces from years ago.

A special discipline of dental care once only prescribed for teenagers, orthodontic treatment is now being prescribed for children as young as 7 following the emergence of their permanent adult teeth. The main benefit of applying orthodontic treatment to such young patients is as their facial bone structure is still developing and growing, their teeth and jawbone are easier to guide into their optimal position and with a shorter timeframe than in older patients.

Orthodontics is not only applied to create a perfectly straight smile, it also corrects alignment problems between the teeth, jawbone, head and neck, which could develop into other health complications later in life. Orthodontics also helps to prevent the abnormal or uneven wear of teeth.

Many adults too are opting for orthodontic treatment to correct a range of dental health problems that extend back to childhood or may have developed after the loss of an adult tooth caused through decay or an accident. Orthodontic treatment allows many adults to achieve the smile they have always desired.
