Dental Braces Orthodontic Treatment

A lot of people around the world are not very happy when they hear the word braces. So, what exactly are dental braces?

Braces are a device used in Orthodontics to straighten or align your teeth and to improve your dental health. They are also used to correct deep bites, under bites, crooked teeth and a lot of other dental issues. With the use of braces, our orthodontic specialist will diagnose, treat, and help prevent any irregularities of the teeth by fixed or removable dental appliances. With the development of clear or invisible aligners, you will not even notice that the other person you are speaking to is wearing them.

Firstly, we need to determine which braces are the best suited for you. In most cases, the invisible braces are ideal and are the most recommended choice. In some cases, the only option is the wire and bracket brace system.

In any case, with every single patient, we put their care at the heart of everything we do and offer the highest level of care and professionalism where possible. We offer many years of professional experience and pride ourselves on having a very friendly family atmosphere in our clinic in the heart of Dublin City on O' Connell Street.
