Introduction to Orthodontics

Nothing is more important than a genuine, heartfelt smile. Whether in your professional life or when socialising, an attractive smile can make you feel happier and more confident as well as make the right impression!

Orthodontic treatment uses appliances to straighten teeth and gradually move them into more ideal positions over time. As well as greatly improving aesthetic appeal, orthodontic corrections improve the evenness and function of your bite and reduce your risk of undesirable problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.

Children and adults can be treated with orthodontics, indeed, it’s easier to correct aspects of the bite at a young age than it is years down the line. Early interventions are also used to correct severe problems with the way the jaw fits together, usually during adolescence.

03
Your orthodontic assessment

During your initial consultation, your Orthodontist will take time to listen to your concerns and understand what you hope to achieve from any orthodontic treatment. She will carry out a thorough examination of your teeth, jaws and face. We ask that you set aside approximately half an hour for this initial visit, as we believe that it is important for you to have a clear understanding of all aspects of your proposed treatment.

Once you are keen to proceed, this is usually followed by photographs, radiographs (x-rays) and impressions (moulds) or scans of your teeth. Your orthodontic needs are unique, and these records help us to diagnose any underlying problems and formulate a comprehensive treatment plan. We then send you a detailed report and schedule another appointment to discuss this and your digital Invisalign ClinCheck treatment simulation if applicable. This last appointment can be either face to face or via a video consult.

You also have the opportunity to ask any questions that you may have and discuss the various payment options. We offer a range of flexible payment plans to help you spread the cost of your treatment.

04
Having orthodontic treatment

Once all the diagnostic information has been taken, the treatment plan has been agreed, we will then be ready to place the braces. Before a brace is fitted, we may ask you to see your Dentist for professional cleaning of your teeth and gums.
