A clear orthodontist plan

What Is Orthodontics?

Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. An orthodontist uses a variety of treatments including braces, aligners, and other appliances to straighten teeth, correct bite problems, and improve overall oral health.

Straight teeth are not just about aesthetics – properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reduce the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, and can improve your bite function, reducing jaw pain and headaches. Orthodontic treatment can also boost your confidence and self-esteem.

At Forever Dental and Skin, Dr. Murray Pratt and Dr. Mary Talbot offer a full range of orthodontic solutions tailored to your individual needs, whether you're 8 or 80. We specialise in both traditional braces and modern clear aligners like Invisalign.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does orthodontic treatment hurt?

You may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when braces are first fitted or aligners are changed, but this is temporary and typically subsides within a few days. Modern orthodontic techniques have made treatment much more comfortable than in the past.

How long does orthodontic treatment take?

Treatment duration varies based on complexity. On average, Invisalign takes 12-18 months, while traditional braces typically require 18-24 months.

Am I too old for braces?

Absolutely not! Orthodontic treatment can be successful at any age, as long as your teeth and gums are healthy. About 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is an adult.

Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?

Yes, retainers are an essential part of orthodontic treatment. You'll typically wear your retainer full-time for the first few months, then nightly for life.
