Orthodontics is a way of straightening crooked and/or over-crowded teeth by using braces to gently and gradually pull them into position.
At Cathedral Dental Practice, we offer a wide range of orthodontics to both children and adults.
Our adult patients are particularly keen on our virtually invisible treatments, as these enable you to have your teeth straightened without feeling self-conscious about the braces.
Our most popular method is Invisalign®, transparent aligners which fit over the teeth and are virtually invisible. They can be removed for cleaning and eating, which makes them particularly convenient.
We can also offer lingual braces. These fit at the back of the teeth rather than the front which again makes them virtually invisible.
We also offer functional orthodontics without extractions, with added complementary therapies.

In all cases, we will only extract teeth for orthodontic purposes if it is absolutely necessary. In most cases, we find extraction is not needed.
