Adult patients can choose between either comprehensive or shorter term orthodontic treatment at our practice in Derry/Londonderry.
Comprehensive treatment aims to straighten the teeth and to correct the bite. This typically involves moving the top and bottom teeth with the goal of achieving the optimum result in terms of cosmetics and bite functioning.
Shorter term orthodontics primarily aims to straighten the top front teeth and is a popular choice for patients wanting to minimise their treatment time and still have beautifully straight teeth.
We find that most adults prefer cosmetic systems such as Radiance ™ or Invisalign™ over traditional metal braces.
Once the treatment is completed, retainers will be provided to maintain the finished result. Permanent retainers are a popular choice with our adult patients.
