ADULT ORTHODONTICS
At Artiste Studios – L'Orthodontiste, the art and science of orthodontics are at the heart of everything we do.
Our approach goes beyond simply straightening teeth. We carefully consider facial aesthetics, bite function, long-term stability, and overall oral health to create treatment plans tailored to each individual.
​
We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options, and recommend the treatment that best suits your needs and lifestyle.
​
We are particularly proud that many adult patients come to us through recommendations from friends, family members, and parents whose children have already completed treatment with us.
​
You can be confident that you too will receive thoughtful care, meticulous planning, and support throughout every stage of your journey.
​
In a welcoming and relaxed environment, our goal is simple: to help you achieve a smile that looks beautiful, functions well, and lasts for years to come.
SPECIALIST IN ADULT ORTHODONTICS
It's Never Too Late to Improve Your Bite and Smile
More adults than ever are choosing to straighten their teeth, improve their bite, and invest in their long-term oral health.
​
Teeth which are straightened are easier to clean. Orthodontics also prepares teeth for restorative and cosmetic dental treatment.
​
Why Choose Specialist Orthodontic Care?
Adult orthodontics often requires a more comprehensive approach than treatment in younger patients. Existing dental work, gum health, tooth wear, and facial aesthetics all need careful consideration when planning treatment.
​
At Artiste Studios – L'Orthodontiste, we take the time to understand your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs. Our philosophy is to look beyond straight teeth alone, considering gum health, bite function, long-term stability, and overall oral health.
​
Treatment Designed Around Your Lifestyle
We understand that adults want treatment that fits comfortably into their professional and personal lives and that is why we offer a comprehensive range of orthodontic options, including:
Invisalign® clear aligners
Aesthetic ceramic braces
Lingual braces
Comprehensive orthodontic treatment for complex cases
Together, we will help you choose the option that best suits your lifestyle, preferences, and treatment goals.

Modern Fixed Braces
Precise, Predictable Orthodontic Treatment
While clear aligners are a popular choice for many adults, modern fixed braces remain one of the most effective and versatile orthodontic treatment options available.
​
Today's braces are smaller, more comfortable, and more discreet than ever before. Advanced bracket designs and high-technology wires allow us to move teeth efficiently while maintaining excellent control throughout treatment.
​
Why Choose Fixed Braces?
Fixed braces can be an excellent option for adults seeking:
Precise tooth movement
Treatment for more complex orthodontic concerns
Continuous correction without relying on aligner wear
Predictable and efficient results
A discreet alternative through ceramic or tooth-coloured options
Because fixed braces are always working, they can be particularly effective for patients who prefer not to manage removable aligners throughout the day.
Radiance
Option
Every Radiance bracket is a polished jewel, made from pure grown sapphire, second only to diamond as the toughest mineral known to exist. Each crystal is honed and then heat polished into a superbly smooth, incredibly clear and astoundingly strong bracket.
Radiance’s monocrystalline structure and highly polished surface serve as barriers to stains so they won’t discolour over time, and you'll look great throughout your treatment. Invisibly straighten your teeth with the confidence that can only come from Radiance pure sapphire brackets!
Damon Clear
Option
Virtually invisible, Damon Clear has clear advantages over traditional braces and aligners. Damon Clear is part of the innovative Damon System, which combines tieless braces with high technology archwires that are clinically proven to move teeth fast and comfortably with truly spectacular smile and facial results.
​
Damon Clear combines the best of traditional clear braces and invisible aligners to deliver a discrete treatment experience with results that go beyond straight teeth.
Ceramic Clear Braces
A Discreet Alternative to Traditional Braces
Many adults want the precision and reliability of fixed braces without the appearance of traditional metal brackets.
Ceramic braces offer an elegant solution, combining highly effective orthodontic treatment with a more discreet appearance.
Using tooth-coloured or crystal-clear brackets, ceramic braces blend naturally with your smile, making them far less noticeable during everyday interactions.
​
Why Choose Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces provide many of the same advantages as traditional fixed braces while offering improved aesthetics throughout treatment.
​
Benefits include:
Discreet, tooth-coloured or crystal-clear brackets
Effective treatment for a wide range of orthodontic concerns
Precise control of tooth movement
Suitable for many complex cases
Comfortable, low-profile design
For adults who would like a less visible alternative to metal braces, ceramic braces can provide an excellent balance between aesthetics and treatment effectiveness.
​
Confidence Throughout Treatment
Whether you are attending meetings, social events, presentations, or simply going about daily life, ceramic braces allow you to straighten your teeth with confidence.
Many patients appreciate that friends and colleagues often notice the improvement in their smile before they notice the braces themselves.
Lingual Invisible Braces
Truly Hidden Orthodontic Treatment
"While many practices focus solely on aligners, we offer the full spectrum of orthodontic treatment options—including lingual braces—allowing us to recommend the solution that is genuinely best suited to each patient."
​
For adults who want the effectiveness of fixed braces without visible brackets, lingual braces remain one of the most discreet orthodontic solutions available.
Unlike conventional braces, lingual braces are custom-made and fitted to the inner surfaces of the teeth, making them virtually invisible when you smile, speak, or go about your daily life.
​
Why Choose Lingual Braces?
Lingual braces combine the precision and control of fixed orthodontic treatment with complete discretion.
Benefits include:
Truly hidden treatment
Suitable for many complex orthodontic cases
Continuous tooth movement without relying on patient compliance
No need to remove aligners for meals or social occasions
Custom-designed for each individual patient
For many adults, lingual braces provide an excellent alternative to clear aligners when a fixed appliance is preferred.
​
Designed Around Your Lifestyle
Whether you are a professional, frequently attend meetings, work in front of clients, or simply prefer your orthodontic treatment to remain private, lingual braces allow you to continue daily life with confidence.
Because the braces are positioned behind the teeth, most people will never notice you are undergoing treatment.
​
Specialist Orthodontic Care
Successful lingual orthodontics requires careful planning, experience, and attention to detail. At Artiste Studios – L'Orthodontiste, we take the time to assess your smile, bite, facial aesthetics, and treatment goals before recommending the most appropriate solution for your needs.
​
While clear aligners seem to be the ubiquitous option for many adults, lingual braces are an excellent choice for patients seeking maximum discretion together with the precision and predictability of fixed orthodontic treatment.
​
Book a consultation to discover whether lingual braces may be right for you.
Treatment Options for Relapse
Adult Relapse Options
Have Your Teeth Moved Since Your Previous Braces?
Many adults who had orthodontic treatment previously notice that their teeth gradually shift over time. This is completely normal and is one of the most common reasons adults seek orthodontic treatment today.
​
Whether you have noticed crowding of the lower front teeth, spaces developing between teeth, or changes to your bite, modern orthodontics offers a range of discreet and effective solutions to help restore your smile.
​
Treatment Tailored to Your Needs
At Artiste Studios – L'Orthodontiste, we understand that adult patients are often looking for treatment that fits comfortably into their professional and personal lives. Following a comprehensive assessment, we will recommend the most appropriate option for your individual needs.
​
Treatment options may include:
Invisalign® clear aligners
Other clear aligner systems
Aesthetic ceramic braces
Lingual (hidden) braces
Fixed braces treatment for more complex cases
​
Our focus is not simply on straightening the visible front teeth, but on creating a stable, healthy, and long-lasting result.
Clear Aligners
Adult Relapse Option
Clear Aligners for Adult Relapse
​
For many patients with mild to moderate crowding or spacing, clear aligners provide a discreet and convenient solution. Custom-made aligners gradually guide teeth into position while remaining virtually invisible during everyday life.
​
Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy your normal diet and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine throughout treatment.
​
Supporting Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry
Orthodontic treatment can often be used to position teeth more favourably before veneers, crowns, implants, or other restorative treatment. In many cases, this allows a more conservative approach and can improve both the appearance and longevity of the final result.
​
Personalised Care for Every Smile
No two relapse cases are the same. Our comprehensive approach considers your teeth, bite, facial aesthetics, gum health, and long-term stability before recommending treatment.
Invisible Retainers
Protecting Your New Smile Your Orthodontic Journey Doesn't End When the Braces Come Off
​
"Orthodontic treatment creates the smile. Retainers help keep it."
Each is custom-made to ensure your investment lasts!
​
Retainers play a vital role in maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. Teeth naturally have a tendency to move throughout life, which is why long-term retention is essential for protecting your investment and preserving your smile.
​
At Artiste Studios – L'Orthodontiste, we will recommend the most appropriate retention strategy based on your individual needs.
​
Fixed (Bonded) Retainers
A bonded retainer consists of a fine wire attached discreetly to the inner surfaces of the front teeth. Because it sits behind the teeth, it remains virtually invisible when you smile.
Fixed retainers are particularly useful for maintaining alignment of the front teeth and can be an excellent solution for patients who prefer not to rely solely on removable retainers.
​
Benefits include:
Hidden from view
Working continuously, day and night
No need to remember to wear them
Particularly effective for maintaining alignment of front teeth
Helpful for preventing spaces from reopening
Clear Removable Retainers
Clear retainers are custom-made transparent appliances designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. Similar in appearance to clear aligners, they provide an effective and discreet way to maintain your orthodontic result.
​
Benefits include:
Virtually invisible when worn
Comfortable and easy to use
Easy to clean
Provides full-arch retention
Can be replaced if lost or damaged
Many patients benefit from wearing removable retainers alongside a bonded retainer for maximum long-term stability.
Retainer Care and Maintenance
To keep your retainers working effectively:
Wear them exactly as instructed
Clean removable retainers daily
Avoid exposing retainers to excessive heat
Attend recommended review appointments
Contact us promptly if a retainer becomes loose, damaged, or no longer fits correctly
Even a small breakage can allow unwanted tooth movement to occur.
​
Long-Term Smile Protection
We have helped many patients achieve and maintain beautiful orthodontic results. Regular retainer reviews and ongoing maintenance are an important part of ensuring your smile remains healthy, stable, and beautifully aligned for years to come.
