The main aim of orthodontics is to correct crooked and malaligned teeth. When people think of orthodontics they often think of braces, and having braces is certainly one option, but today there are other options and the benefits of orthodontics go far beyond simply straightening teeth.
Good orthodontics using braces or a choice of various removable appliances, aims not only to straighten teeth but also treats the health of the jaw joint, improves facial symmetry and facial growth and improves the ability to breathe correctly.
What Age should you have orthodontics?
Orthodontics can be successful at any age but as a child the jaw and facial bones are still growing and treatment will be faster and less complex as a general rule. It is a good idea to bring your child in for an assessment at about age 3 to 5 to pick up potential problems. If your child is older than this it is certainly not a problem as treatment can begin at any age.
It is quite routine for adults to have orthodontic treatment with very good results.
Because each person is thoroughly assessed with study models, scans and computer analysis before treatment begins you will know what to expect with regards to treatment time, outcome and cost before you start.
Paul has been doing orthodontics for about 30 years. He has completed many orthodontic courses and done hours of study and successfully treated both children and adults during this time.
Paul is not a specialist orthodontist. He is a general practitioner with a special interest in orthodontics. He always advises that should you wish you are welcome to get another opinion.

Although there is a perceived concern about root canal treatment it is a routine procedure here at Dixon Dental.
Root Canal Treatment relieves pain caused by an infection, abscess or damage to the root pulp. It is often the only option to save your tooth and with local anaesthetic and with a cover over the tooth you should be quite comfortable.
The procedure is separated into two visits. The first will clean out the canal and the second places the filling and restores the tooth with either a filling or a crown. After treatment the tooth feels exactly like any other tooth except that it will not feel hot and cold.
