Orthodontics at Curran Dental

At Curran Dental, we offer clear aligners and Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces for patients looking to straighten their teeth. While we do not provide full orthodontic treatments such as metal braces, we work closely with trusted orthodontists to support patients requiring more complex bite and alignment corrections. 

In addition to our aligner services, we provide comprehensive general, children's, and cosmetic dentistry to ensure your overall oral health is maintained throughout any orthodontic treatment.

Consult with your general dentist before starting orthodontic treatment

While orthodontists specialise in aligning teeth and correcting bite issues, they do not routinely check for cavities or gum disease. That’s why it’s important to have regular examinations with your general dentist before starting and throughout your orthodontic treatment. 

Orthodontic appliances, such as braces, can make it harder to clean your teeth, increasing the risk of decay or gum disease. We will work alongside your orthodontist to ensure your oral health is maintained during your treatment.
