The appearance of our teeth can be of enormous importance to us to help boost our self-esteem, enable us to feel confident in our daily lives and to take pride in our smile.
Fixing broken, missing or crooked teeth can also have significant medical 
implications too, as it can help enhance oral health and prevent problems in the gums and jawbone from developing.
Our teeth can often act very differently from what we might expect, meaning that despite careful brushing and flossing, they can still grow at awkward angles or become crowded or unsightly in other ways.
Orthodontics has moved on radically in the past couple of decades, meaning that there are all kinds of corrective options available nowadays to restore a beautiful smile.
Gone are the days of the heavy ‘train tracks’ that had to sit on your teeth for months on end. Today’s orthodontics offer a wide range of treatment options that are pain-free to install, easy to maintain and practically invisible inside the mouth.
Orthodontics Denton has many years of expertise in orthodontics for children and adults, working on a huge variety of issues to close gaps, correct bites and generally improve the appearance and performance of patients’ teeth.
The team is friendly and compassionate, leading to a calm atmosphere during appointments and clear communications throughout the process. Our Denton based orthodontist practice has invested heavily in the latest and best orthodontic technology, with the team undergoing regular training to ensure that their knowledge in the field is second to none.
Cosmetic fixed braces work in the same way as traditional braces that are fixed to the teeth with a bracket and have wires attached to the teeth to gently move them into the desired position over a number of months.
The main difference is that cosmetic fixed braces are tooth coloured to minimise visual impact and offer a more discreet form of orthodontics. They are a popular option amongst both children and adults who feel that having more ‘obvious’ braces installed could adversely affect their confidence.
Cosmetic fixed braces tend to focus mainly on correcting gaps and moving crooked teeth back into the right place. They are not so effective for fixing issues with the bite – you will need to consult your orthodontists or dentist for alternative ways to address these types of issues.
The process starts with a full consultation, during which your main goals and hopes for the treatment will be discussed and impressions are taken to allow your individual brace to be made.
Then, you will return to have your fixed cosmetic brace attached, positioned securely to ensure the most effective results.
You will need to go back regularly over the next few months to have your brace checked and repositioned as required to aid the corrective process.
Afterwards, retainers will be provided for use at home to prevent any relapsing of your teeth back into their old positions.
Invisalign treatment is also available at our Denton practice. Invisalign uses clear aligner system to straighten teeth instead of brackets and wires. Aligners are virtually invisible, custom-made for your mouth and removable.
.
They are easy to fit and comfortable to wear and work quickly and effectively, making the whole experience reassuringly straightforward. Invisalign is versatile too, meaning that it can be used to treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns.
Treatment begins with 3-D imaging and impressions of your teeth. Aligners are created specifically for you and you change each set every couple of weeks. Invisalign is comfortable and simple to keep clean.
Their discreet appearance makes them especially popular with teenagers wanting to carry on a busy social life without feeling like they look different, or are restricted by a loss of confidence in their smile.
