What are the Dangers of Crooked Teeth?
It has been said that a person’s smile is one of the first things we notice when we meet them for the first time, however there’s more than just aesthetic benefits when it comes to having a beautifully aligned smile. Misaligned teeth can cause a whole array of health problems and those who have malocclusion often suffer with pain in their head, neck or spine. If you’re living life with a crooked or crowded teeth, there’s no need to worry because these problems can be solved with orthodontic treatment provided by our experienced team.
At New Road Dental we offer a variety of orthodontic treatments to suit adults and children, depending on their current level of oral health and specific requirements. Thanks to recent advances in technology, orthodontics no longer only refers to the traditional, metal train-track braces. Our experienced dentists also offer almost-invisible solutions and solutions which work to realign the teeth in a very short space of time. So there really is no reason to live life with a smile you’re not completely happy with. Here’s a quick insight into the orthodontic solutions our knowledgeable team are able to provide:
Invisalign
If you’re interested in straightening your teeth in a more discreet manner, then this is likely to be the treatment for you. We’re proud to be able to offer you the latest-development in discreet braces which comes in the form of a series of bespoke invisible aligners. Invisalign’s removable aligners apply constant pressure on your teeth to gently move them back into shape and reveal a beautiful smile in a relatively short period of time without anyone noticing!
Fastbraces©
Fastbraces© are a brilliant solution for those looking to achieve a straighter smile in a short period of time. The braces feature a patented triangular design which allows for an increased distance between braces. So what does this mean exactly? It means that the smile you desire may take just weeks or months to achieve, as opposed to the years it may take using more traditional treatment methods.
Fixed Braces
If you’ve got a large amount of crowded teeth or require a high level of movement, then fixed braces could be the solution you need. As we mentioned earlier, fixed braces have come a long way since those chunky, grey metal braces that we all remember so clearly. We’re able to offer ‘barely-there’ fixed braces which are tooth-coloured so they are very discreet. The treatment time is normally between six and eighteen months, however the drastic improvement will be worth the wait – you’ll want to show the world your new smile!
If you’re interested in any of the treatment methods above, or perhaps you would like to know if you would benefit from orthodontic treatment in general, then please do get in touch. We have a team of dentists with a special interest who have the skills and experience to help you to achieve a perfectly aligned smile.
