Straight teeth aren't just about appearance — properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, distribute biting forces more evenly, and can reduce wear, decay and gum problems over a lifetime. Dr Lego completed postgraduate orthodontic training in 1994 and has provided orthodontic care for over 30 years.
The best time to identify problems is while a child is still growing. We target early signs of crowding, crossbites and jaw development issues during the mixed dentition stage.
For older teenagers and adults, fixed braces align teeth and correct bite issues once all permanent teeth have erupted — typically from around age 12 onwards.
Treatment may include extraction of selected adult teeth for the best result. Patients who had interceptive treatment as children often need a shorter comprehensive phase.
For severe jaw discrepancy that braces alone can't correct, orthognathic surgery may be recommended for adults whose jaw growth is complete.
Not every child needs early treatment. Dr Lego monitors dental development at every check-up and will let you know if and when intervention would help.
Dr Lego completed postgraduate orthodontic studies in 1994 and has over 30 years of experience.
Because Dr Lego provides general care too, he monitors your child's development at every check-up — often spotting problems before they become obvious.
Treatment doesn't happen in isolation — alignment is considered alongside jaw function, sleep bruxism, gum health and long-term stability.
For complex cases, Dr Lego works closely with orthodontic and oral surgery specialists.
