Fixed Appliances Expert Witnesses

Fixed Appliances are orthodontic devices attached to the teeth to correct misalignment, bite problems and irregular tooth positioning. They commonly consist of brackets, wires and bands that apply controlled forces to move teeth gradually into the desired position. Treatment requires appropriate planning, regular adjustments and monitoring of oral health. Potential complications include tooth decay, gum inflammation, root resorption and unwanted tooth movement. Independent Fixed Appliances Expert Witnesses can provide specialist opinions on treatment planning, consent, appliance management, complications, causation and standards of orthodontic care in Clinical Negligence cases.
