Orthodontic treatment has a huge positive effect on your oral health as well as improving appearance. Braces can address a huge range of problems including gaps, crooked teeth and bite issues. At West End Dental, we have a range of options from fixed braces to discreet straightening with Invisalign.
Most people believe that if they don’t get braces while they are teenagers, they’ve missed their chance. Orthodontics can help smiles of all ages and the number of different options means there’s more choice in treatments than ever before.
It also helps by allowing the teeth and gums to be cleaned properly, better preventing gum disease as the teeth are in a better position to be cleaned.
It’s all because they didn’t wear their retainer. Without them, the teeth will start to migrate back to their original positions.
This subtle treatment uses tailor-made aligners to gradually move your teeth to a neater position. Its main advantage being that the clear aligners are virtually invisible. They are also comfortable and can be taken out, so you can keep your teeth and gums clean, and there is no restriction on what you can eat.
This system uses 3D technology to produce the aligners, which are then changed every two weeks so the movement of your teeth is precisely controlled. Treatment times are shorter and as there are no braces and wires, you’ll spend less time having adjustments.
These consist of metal brackets that are attached to the front surface of the teeth and thin metal wires held in place with elastics. Brackets are now generally smaller than they once were and they can also be customised with coloured elastics. More discreet fixed braces are also available featuring ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires.
These are the most commonly used braces and are suitable for a wide range of conditions. They produce good results because they can move teeth very precisely.
Another short term solution is a custom-made aligner that uses a combination of pushing and pulling to move front teeth to an improved position. This has springs, two aligner bows and a thin bar that runs across the front of the teeth. It is an affordable way to change the alignment of your front teeth within just 8-16 weeks.
