BRACES (ORTHODONTICS)
Orthodontic treatment (dental braces) involves the use of devices to move teeth or adjust underlying bone. In order words, orthodontic treatment is aimed at improving aesthetics – aligning crooked teeth – and also function – the way you bite. At Cheers Dental Care we offer orthodontic treatment (braces) for children and adults and various braces.
We have a range of different orthodontic appliances (braces) available at our clinic. We provide fixed braces (the traditional metal braces), Invisalign (clear aligners), functional appliances (braces that can help with the growth of your jaws), removable braces and also retainers.
