Fixed appliances

Invisalign
Invisalign has changed the way we straighten teeth. It’s not hard to see why Invisalign is so in demand: it gives you all the benefits of a fixed brace with none of the inconvenience. It’s discreet, comfortable– and even removable. Most importantly it’s also great at straightening teeth!
Incognito
One of the most discreet orthodontic options available, Incognito lingual braces combine the effectiveness of a traditional fixed brace with the latest technology to perfect your smile.
Removable Brace
Removable appliances are used for minor tooth corrections and can also be used to improve how teeth bite together. They are usually made from a plastic plate and wire clips to keep them in place. These braces are generally worn on a full-time basis although must be removed for brushing and sports.
