Orthodontics
Orthodontic consultation
An orthodontic consultation is very comprehensive and takes 45 minutes to an hour.
A full intra-oral and extra-oral examination is done.
Panoramic and Cephalometric x-rays are taken.
Impressions for study models are done.
Extra and intra oral photographs are taken.
A Complete diagnosis and treatment plan is done, which will be presented on a second appointment.
Removable appliance therapy for children (plates and retainers).
Removable appliances can be used to correct mal-occlusions in kids from a very early age. Some of the most common problems that can be treated are prolonged thumb sucking and dummy sucking, as well as other habits effecting the development of the teeth and face. These appliances need be worn for 3-6 months.
The cost of removable appliances is significantly less than fixed braces, and can also prevent long and invasive treatment later in life. Example of removable appliances are plates and retainers
Kids Ortho
Orthodontic problems in children can be addressed as early as 5 years. Sometimes early intervention can prevent long orthodontic treatment later on in life. The most important things to look out for are habits that some children might have like thumb sucking. These habits can cause skeletal imbalance and can be treated very effectively early on.
Adult Ortho
Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Irregular teeth and a poor bite can contribute to gum and bone loss, abnormal wear of the biting surfaces of the teeth, cavities, areas of weakened enamel and surprisingly on a psychological level, it is incredible how mal-aligned teeth can greatly affect personal contentment and self-esteem.

Fixed appliance therapy or conventional braces
METAL BRACES AND CERAMIC BRACES
Adults can have conventional metal braces or clear braces. Metal braces are sometimes used on the lower jaw only, and white braces are used on the top teeth that are more visible.
The term, ‘conventional braces’, simply describes the type of braces that we are all generally familiar with. Your treatment can last up to two years, depending upon the amount of movement necessary. Once your treatment is completed you will need to wear a clear night-time retainer for at least a year which holds the teeth in their new position until they settle permanently into their new position.
Ceramic braces are made of a clear or tooth colored material, and is usually very popular with adult patients. The cost of clear braces are usually a bit more than metal braces.
SHORT TERM ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT ( 6 – 8 MONTH )
Short Term braces are the most natural, most conservative and least invasive approach for you to improve your appearance.
Simply said, 6-month braces (short term orthodontics) are used to improve the appearance of upper front teeth or lower front teeth in a very short time – usually about six months. It is limited orthodontics not comprehensive orthodontics. The objective is to move only the front six to eight teeth only and not change the bite overall. Because the objective is limited the time span to achieve a more aesthetic smile is very short.
Traditional metal orthodontic braces are normally placed for the 6-month braces. However, if preferred we can use ceramic or white brackets instead of the metal ones.
What Patient’s Say
This is a dental experience like none other! The practice is beautiful, it looks like a 5 star hotel, so immediately my attention was deflected from the fact that I was at the dentist. Dr. Smith and her team were super friendly and professional, her passion for teeth and dental health shines through in the way she treated me, only wanting the best for me and, giving her honest opinion. Dr. Smith's work is outstanding and the facilities in the room was next level! Thank you Corne Smith Dentistry for my 5 star smile!Lente Deminey
After visiting two other dentist offices for orthodontic consultations, Dr Smith and her team were the most informative, friendly and professional. Being given all the facts and options put me at ease. I was given several treatment plans and financial options to choose from. It was an easy decision to have my orthodontic treatment here.Kelly Pieterse
What an incredible experience! Absolutely shattered my negative stereotypes and past experiences of dental practice! I was ably assisted by Dr. Jordaan, Florence, and Kayleigh. Each practitioner was friendly, polite, GENTLE, and really clear in communicating their process with me. In the past, dentists I've been to have tended to have a "know-it-all" attitude and closed off bedside manner. But not the team at Corne Smith Dentistry! I'm coming back in six months!Daniel Nambassi
Hands down, the best dentist in ZA, if not the world. I’ve been with Corné and her team for almost 8 years now. This practice is friendly, professional, at the leading edge of technology and innovation, warm and always fair in price. Their service and referrals have been a life saver. Thank you!Maria Kostelac
Very well, very informative on first visit, dental treatment was quick, painless and very comfortable,will definitely continue having my treatment done there.Nadia
Had veneers put in - results are gorgeous - can't stop smiling at myself in every mirror! It's a tedious process made a lot easier by the pleasant staff and general concern by Corne herself. Very professional - welcoming and the price is mainstream. Can highly recommend (and in fact, have done) Corné Smith and her staff. Monique
The service was excellent and I would definitely recommend the clinic to anyone who is looking for a good dental practice. Greg
The treatment went extremely well. Was a very professional clinic and I will be seeing them more often. My fear of dentists have disappeared ever since I went there. They have awesome state of the art equipment and they even play music while they treat you to calm the nerves. The prices are reasonable and worth it for the treatment you receive. Ryan
Great service - very nice bedside manner, prepared to listen to what the customer wants and made valuable suggestions after an examinationCheryl
Firstly I would like to thank Dr Corne for restoring my faith in dentists! I had an extreme fear of dentists all my life, and neglected my teeth because of it. Dr Corne explained my treatment in detail, and she went the extra mile to ensure that I was always comfortable. I had several sessions to complete my treatment ( needed root canals and crowns), but it was all worth it! I can smile again!! and it was all completely pain free!! Jonathan
I highly recommend Corné Smith's dental practice for anyone seeking efficient professional dental care at a reasonable price. They are quick to respond to enquiries and setting up appointments. The dentist (Corné Smith) is very friendly and shows a great deal of care for her patients as do the rest of her staff. The atmosphere at the practice is calm and they even have a TV above the dental chair that entertain you during a procedure. Ronald
They were so helpful with the scheduling of my appointments. I was impressed with the dentist and the other ladies at the clinic. I have had no problems with my new crown or fillings. I have already recommended them to my friends!! Thank you so much for the first class service!! Jessica
Very pleased with the treatment and will definitely refer and use againJoanne
I had a consultation with Dr Smith for veneers in April 2012. She explained the procedure very well, she also showed me photos of my teeth! I have never seen such technology! I was very impressed with the practice, the ROOMS are beautiful, and spacious, very tastefully done. They also have a TV screen on the roof to watch while you are treated. I would highly recommend this practice.Emily
