Braces
Using ‘Tip-Edge PLS’ brackets, patients see reduced treatment times and superior comfort. They are spcally designedto move teeth naturally, using very light forces and reducing major sources of friction. This means more comfort and fewer appointments for an overall improved treatment.

Retainers
Dr McDonald uses a range of removable and fixed appliances. The success of treatment depends greatly on how well the patient wears the appliance and the rate at which the patient is growing. Particular appliances such as URA and Activator, the patient is able to select from a range of colours.
When to see an orthodontist
It is never too early or late to see the orthodontist. However, most orthodontists would prefer to see a patient for the first time at eight or nine years of age to consider the possibilities of intercepting any problems. Commonly, children are treated once the permanent (adult) teeth have erupted or are due to erupt.
