Orthodontics

Orthodontics – to improve the appearance of crooked or crowded teeth, often using invisible braces.

Clinician: Dr Max Hain,

Orthodontics can improve the appearance of the teeth and face if your teeth are crooked, overcrowded or there are spaces. Our Specialist Orthodontist Dr. Max Hain, utilises various methods including tooth coloured removable or fixed braces, Invisalign or retainers to straighten teeth and produce a beautiful smile. Age is not a limiting factor in orthodontics since both children and adults can be treated; the main factors taken into consideration before treatment are usually the position of your teeth and the condition of your teeth and gums.

Depending on the severity of a particular case, treatment can take between 6-24 months. It is necessary to have regular check-ups throughout the treatment in order for the brace to be adjusted and monitored, and your teeth professionally cleaned by the hygienist.

Invisalign®

A revolutionary invisible way of straightening teeth
St. Ann's Dental can offer you the revolutionary treatment from America – Invisalign which straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, undetectable aligners. Compared to traditional braces Invisalign is both simple, comfortable and invisible.

After your initial consultation, Dr. Hain will complete a treatment plan which is translated using 3-D computer technology into a series of specifically customised aligners. Each set is worn for approximately 2 weeks at a time, moving your teeth – slowly but surely until the desired result is achieved! It is necessary to wear these aligners at all times, however they are clear and virtually undetectable, and can be removed at mealtimes unlike the traditional metal braces.
