At Counihan Orthodontics we offer a wide range of braces for patients of all ages. Whether you’re looking for the latest take on traditional treatment, or are hoping for a 100% discreet smile solution, we have something to put a smile on your face.
Braces
Types Of
Traditional metal braces are smaller, more effective and more comfortable than ever before. Metals braces consist of stainless steel brackets affixed to each tooth with a metal arch wire threading through them.
To progress through treatment, you will come to our practice for regular adjustment appointments. We will make small bends in your archwire to place targeted pressure on your teeth. This will slowly and accurately guide your smile into proper alignment.
Traditional metal braces
01.
Ceramic braces
02.
Ceramic braces work in the same way as metal braces, but the brackets are made of tooth-coloured ceramic. This makes them more discreet and are a more convenient option with our adult patients.
Clear aligners
03.
Our last type of braces are called ‘invisible braces.’ These braces don’t use brackets at all, but instead use thin plastic trays called ‘aligners’ to straighten your smile. These are like very very thin gum shields.
Clear aligners are extremely convenient because they are removable. You can take them out for meals, brushing and flossing and important events so they won’t get in the way of your schedule. You can also pair treatment with Dental Monitoring for fully remote check-ins.
If you start aligner treatment, you will be given a series of aligners - each shaped differently from the next - that will slowly adjust your smile. We will advise you to switch to a new set of custom-made aligners every 10-16 weeks until you achieve your desired smile.

I am very happy with the results of my treatment. I still get compliments on my teeth even though I have the braces off over a year. All the people working In Dans were nothing but kind and helpful throughout my years of coming here. My teeth are perfect now and I could not wish for a better result.
