You will see the same orthodontist at every appointment, from the first assessment to the day the braces come off.

Orthodontic treatment

Two ways to straighten teeth, chosen around your case

Every plan starts with an assessment. What suits a twelve year old with a crossbite is rarely what suits an adult closing a gap.

Braces

Children + Teens + Adults

Metal and ceramic fixed braces. Still the most precise way to correct crowding, bite problems and rotations, and often the fastest route to a stable result.

Technology

Catherine uses digital technology to assist her treatment planning, and show you the planned result.

  • A handheld scanner builds a 3D model of your teeth in a few minutes. No impression trays and nothing to gag on.

  • Your teeth are moved on screen first. You see the projected result and agree to it before a single bracket goes on.

  • OPG and cephalometric imaging in the practice, so nothing is sent away and nothing holds up your plan.

Case studies

Every patient has different requirements so we always take time to discuss your specific needs, the treatment options available and costs involved before any treatment begins.
