Braces can be placed to correct the position of teeth in cases where there are missing teeth.

The braces can be used to open space to allow replacement of teeth e.g. using implants or simply close the space by pulling the teeth together.

See the gallery for examples of replacing missing teeth.

Treatment Info

During your first visit to NHO you will be welcomed into our modern orthodontic practice. Our main priority is to establish your concerns and this will enable us to best decide which treatment is most appropriate for you. At this visit models of your teeth & photographs along with radiographs (if needed) will be taken. Normally a further appointment is arranged where we can fully discuss the treatment plan with you and arrange starting the treatment. All proposed treatment including appliance type and costs will be also outlined in a consultation letter.

We have undergone extensive training in orthodontics and utilise the latest technological advances such as invisible ceramic braces, Invisalign, friction-free appliances along with the latest in digital imaging to ensure that you receive the most effective care possible.
