Benefits
What a real orthodontic foundation looks like
Most general dentists doing orthodontics are working from weekend courses and software presets. Dr. Yeo isn't. He completed 2 years of continuing education with the Academy of GP Orthodontics, covering comprehensive orthodontic mechanics, facial growth patterns, and what makes cases stay stable long-term.
That training means when the software's default plan isn't right for your bite, someone in the room can actually read it.
Procedures
Procedures under orthodontics
Clear aligners. Nearly invisible. Removable. Best for mild-to-moderate adult cases.
Metal brackets and wires. The most effective option for complex bite corrections and growing patients.
Tooth-colored brackets. Less visible than metal, as effective as traditional braces. For patients who want the effectiveness of fixed braces without the visibility.
