Does having straighter teeth feel like an impossible dream to you? You might be thinking that it will be too expensive, too uncomfortable and take too long. Here at Portmore Dental we offer patients teeth straightening solutions to suit different budgets and lifestyles.
The systems we use are Invisalign and Six Month Smiles. You may have heard of these before and we would be happy to explain how they work in detail at your next appointment, which you can make by calling us on 01932 855 011.
The term we use to describe the effective long-term solution to straightening your teeth and correcting your bite is orthodontics. Orthodontics focuses on aligning and straightening teeth using wires and brackets or clear aligners that apply a gentle force to the teeth to guide them into a particular position. The discipline has advanced over decades and today treatment is a lot shorter and more comfortable than it was in the past.
For over 30 years ,dentist Dr John Brazier,has had a keen interest in orthodontics and employs the very latest in orthodontic techniques. This includes invisible and cosmetic braces.
Newest dentist to the team, Dr Lara Kriek ,has also gained qualifications in short –term adult orthodontics.
Dr Eben Van der Walt carries out our Six Month Smiles cases.
What to expect from treatment
Here is an overview of the teeth straightening process:
1. Patients who have problems with their bite and the way their top and bottom teeth line up against each other are good candidates for orthodontic treatment.
2. Impressions, photos and x-rays are taken at the start of treatment to determine the course of action.
3. Depending on the system, aligners are fitted or brackets are bonded to individual teeth and wires clip onto them that gentle guide the teeth into position over time
4. Good oral hygiene habits are essential during treatment and regular visits are required for check-ups and adjustments.
5. Once treatment is complete, your retention options will be discussed to ensure your teeth remain in their new position when the aligners or brackets are removed.
