Do you think you need braces? - New Road Dental in Bromsgrove

At New Road Dental in Bromsgrove we provide orthodontic treatments for adults. Did you know that misaligned teeth can be related to a number of dental problems and can also impact on a person’s confidence and self-esteem, but there’s no need to worry. Our experienced team are able to provide a number of comfortable and aesthetically pleasing solutions, including Invisalign to give you a beautifully aligned and natural looking smile.

The first step is to book an appointment to see your dentist here who we will assess your oral health to ensure there are no underlying problems before moving forward with an orthodontic assessment, beginning with an initial consultation.

We will take the time to listen to your concerns and requirements before undertaking a full assessment of your oral health. There are a number of orthodontic treatment methods available at the practice, each of which has different characteristics and benefits. Some methods are only suited to those who wish to move one or two of their teeth very slightly, others are discreet treatment methods that can move multiple teeth over a longer period of time.

Here’s a quick introduction into a couple of the treatment methods we offer:

Clear Braces
Clear ceramic braces are a great treatment for those who want to change the position of multiple teeth, yet dislike the appearance of traditional “train track” metal braces. This discreet treatment method combines the benefit of a more traditional approach with the patients desire for a more aesthetically pleasing solution.

Metal Braces
Similar to the clear braces mentioned above, metal braces are perfect for those wishing to adjust the positioning of many teeth in order to improve their alignment.

Invisalign
Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten misaligned teeth in an extremely discreet manner. Each set of aligners is completely bespoke, which allows constant pressure to be applied to the teeth and slowly moves them into position. This treatment may not be suitable for everyone, but is favoured by many because of its discreet appearance – in fact, many describe these aligners as ‘almost invisible’.

At New Road Dental, we pride ourselves on offering care that helps our patients maintain a good standard of oral health and achieve long-lasting results. If you would like to find out how we can help you to achieve a beautifully aligned smile that increases your overall standard of oral health please contact the team.
