Orthodontics for Adults

At Smile Up we have all sorts of orthodontic treatments at our disposal to adjust both your upper and lower sets of teeth until they are straight, fit together properly, and are left in a stable position.

If your teeth already function well, you might still benefit from minor adjustments to improve the appearance of your teeth.

Adult treatment is growing rapidly, largely because of its dramatic role in improving self-confidence in people who are unhappy with their appearance. If you’re reluctant to talk or smile in public without hiding your teeth, you can probably benefit from some kind of orthodontic correction.

Braces can also help you if you have difficulty chewing food or have crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, gaps, an overbite, or an open bite where upper and lower teeth don’t touch.

At Smile Up you can expect quite a lengthy process of clinical assessment and discussion before you receive a careful recommendation for orthodontic treatment and, in case you were wondering, that’s a very good thing — it means we’re doing our best to give you a gold standard outcome of perfectly straight teeth that function correctly while also factoring in your aesthetic desires.

• You’ll finally want to show off your smile with confidence.
• You’ll improve the health of your mouth by closing gaps and aligning teeth. They can be more easily cleaned so there’s much less potential for decay or disease in the future.
• Aligning your teeth can help to improve the look of your overall facial features by restoring balance to the chin, cheeks and lips.
• With aligned teeth you’ll be able to chew more effectively, helping to reduce the potential for any damage or wear.
• You might notice an improvement in your speech, particularly if you’ve had large gaps between teeth.

Orthodontics come in a range of styles and so it all depends on the case you present (what teeth need moving where) and your preferences for how you want to look during treatment. We offer a variety of fixed appliance options including tooth-coloured brackets, metal brackets and Invisalign. Ceramic braces use clear square brackets making the braces even less obvious, while traditional metal brackets offer great results for fantastic value.
