What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialist area of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and correcting misaligned teeth and jaws. Using braces or aligners, we can straighten teeth, correct bites, and improve how your teeth fit and function together.

Orthodontic Options at Sunninghill Clinic
Fixed Braces
The most common and reliable orthodontic appliance. These braces are attached to your teeth and adjusted over time to gradually move them into alignment.
We offer both metal and tooth-coloured ceramic brackets, allowing you to choose the style that suits you best. Fixed braces are highly effective for treating a wide range of alignment issues.
Clear Aligners
Discreet, removable, and comfortable, clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces. At Sunninghill Clinic, we offer both Invisalign® and Angel Aligner systems, custom-designed to fit your teeth and lifestyle.
These aligners come as a series of transparent trays that gently shift your teeth over time. Because they are removable, they allow you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any added hassle. This can be an ideal option for patients who value flexibility and subtlety in their treatment.
Clear aligners are especially popular with teens who want a virtually invisible option for straightening teeth. Families who would like to minimise any interruptions to schooling may wish to enquire about their child’s suitability for this treatment approach.
Removable Braces
Used for more minor issues or in the early stages of treatment. These appliances can be taken out for cleaning or eating and are often used in growing children to guide jaw development.
Functional Braces
Typically used in children and teens, these appliances help correct differences in upper and lower jaw growth, especially when started early. They guide development and create a better foundation for long-term dental alignment.
Retainers
Once your treatment is complete, retainers are essential to keep your new smile in place. We offer different types of retainers depending on your needs, and we will discuss the right option for you during your treatment journey.
Orthodontic Treatment for Children & Adults
For Children
Orthodontic treatment for children often begins once most adult teeth have come through, usually around age 11–13. However, early checks are recommended if there are any concerns about jaw growth, tooth development, or crowding. Your dentist will refer should this be of potential benefit for your child.
We can intervene early, when necessary, with simple treatment plans that guide development and may reduce the need for more complex treatment later.
For Adults
It is never too late to improve your smile. More and more adults are choosing orthodontics for both cosmetic and functional reasons. Whether you are concerned about crooked teeth, bite alignment, or simply want to feel more confident in your smile - we can help.
