Braces for adult

Why choose McIntosh for your adult orthodontics?

  • Our team are experts in teeth straightening and smile transformation with many years and hundreds of happy patients treated.
  • Treatment options that fit your lifestyle: clear, metal or removable aligners.
  • A focus on patient comfort, often with no need for tooth extraction.
  • You don’t need a referral  to book a consultation with our team.

What to expect at your orthodontic consultation:

Step 1: Consultation

  • We’ll listen to your goals and concerns, to ensure we have all the information necessary to make informed suggestions and treatment plans.
  • A full orthodontic exam will assess your overall oral health and tooth and jaw alignment.
  • We’ll talk you through your options: metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign.

Step 2: Treatment Planning

  • If you’re ready to proceed, we’ll take digital scans, photographs and x-rays.
  • This step is quick and painless and helps us create a detailed treatment plan.
  • Complex cases may require a second planning session.

Step 3: Getting Your Braces

  • Your new braces are gently fitted with minimal pain or discomfort.
  • Metal brackets are placed on each tooth, with a thin wire across them.
  • The process takes around 40–60 minutes, depending on your requirements.
  • Expect slight pressure for a few days. Soft foods and rest are recommended in the days after your braces have been fitted.

We treat:

  • Mild to complex crowding.
  • Gaps or spacing issues.
  • Bite misalignment.
  • Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment.

Let’s make your dream smile a reality.
