Our Orthodontics department focuses on the management of irregularities and abnormalities associated with development and growth of the teeth, jaws and face. Orthodontics is the dental specialty that uses braces to correct the alignment and growth of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatment is available for children and adults with severe and complex orthodontic needs and inter-disciplinary treatments. These treatments include fixed, functional and removable appliances; each treatment is tailored to the individual needs of the patient. Surgical correction of impacted teeth or jaw discrepancies (orthognathic care) is also done here.
