Orthodontics - an Overview

Orthodontics with Ethos is a an experience of comfort and confidence

The word ‘orthodontics’ literally means ‘straight teeth’ and is the specialist area of dentistry that diagnoses, prevents and treats problems in the alignment of teeth and jaws.

While many people associate orthodontics with unsightly teenage braces, contemporary orthodontics offers new technology and individual options to create a straighter, healthier smile at any age.

Achieving a beautiful, natural smile is one of the main reasons people visit an orthodontist but there are also important functional reasons why people choose this specialist treatment.

Orthodontics can help to:

  • correct misalignments that cause your teeth to wear unevenly or break easily
  • make your teeth easier to clean effectively, preventing other dental problems
  • create a comfortable bite with reduced wear and tear on tooth enamel and jaws
  • give natural, lasting improvements without the challenging upkeep of options such as veneers.
  • prevent neck aches or headaches that originate from your jaw

At Ethos Orthodontics, our highly-experienced orthodontists will take the time to explore exactly what your treatment options are and what they can achieve for you.
