Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that corrects irregularities of the teeth and jaw. It involves the use of different kinds of appliances to move teeth into an improved position by applying gentle pressure.
Orthodontic treatment is most commonly given to children but in recent years, it has become very popular with adults, who are keen to sort out their misaligned teeth.
Braces can be used to successfully treat a range of issues from simple crooked and twisted teeth to more serious malocclusions (upper and lower teeth not biting together properly) and misalignments.
As well as enhancing the appearance of your teeth, there are a number of other benefits to having orthodontic treatment, including improved eating and speaking ability, and better oral hygiene as teeth become easier to clean in their new position.
Private Orthodontic Treatment
Our private range of treatments are ideal for adults who are unhappy with their misaligned, crooked or twisted teeth but unwilling to wear very noticeable braces. Private orthodontic treatment has a number of benefits:
- No long waiting lists so you can quickly get started with treatment
- Flexible and convenient appointments with a full explanation of what you can expect
- A range of contemporary braces that offer a much quicker and less noticeable way to sort out your teeth
Invisalign®
This subtle but highly-effective treatment, uses a series of tailor-made aligners, that are changed every two weeks to gradually move your teeth to their desired position. Its main advantage is that re-alignment goes on ‘behind the scenes’, as the aligners are virtually invisible. They are also comfortable and can be taken out, so you can keep your teeth and gums really clean and indulge in all kinds of food as there’ll be no restrictions on what you can eat.
This system uses 3D technology to create the customised aligners so that movement is precisely controlled and you can see how your teeth will look during and after treatment. Treatment times with Invisalign® are shorter and as there are no braces and wires, you’ll spend less time having adjustments.
Six Month Smiles®
This innovative treatment uses the very latest technology to work quickly and safely on only those teeth that show when you smile. The braces are fixed to your teeth but have clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires, so they are very discreet.
Because the treatment focuses on how your teeth will look rather than your bite, it is much quicker and a new smile could be yours in just a few months.
Inman Aligner™
This virtually invisible system uses a bespoke aligner that exerts very light forces to both push and pull the front teeth into position. It consists of a nickel titanium spring in conjunction with a thin bar that runs across the front of the teeth.
It is a cost effective way to change the look of your front teeth within just 8-16 weeks.
Quick Straight Teeth™
This system offers several removable and fixed appliances that provide gentle, affordable solutions to misaligned teeth with dramatically-reduced treatment times of 4-24 weeks.
As well as all these quick, discreet methods, we also offer traditional braces with silver brackets and wires, or those with less obvious ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires.
Whether you want to simply ‘tidy up’ your front teeth or completely transform your smile, we have an orthodontic system to suit your teeth and your budget. Why not book a free initial consultation to find out more about our private orthodontic care.
