Ideally our teeth would bite down in a very specific way to optimise function and oral health. Unfortunately, our teeth are almost never naturally perfect and this can cause problems with chewing, oral hygiene, speaking and aesthetics.
Orthodontic treatment is often carried out when we are teenagers and our teeth have developed to a point where any problems are clearly identifiable and it is therefore the best time to treat them for the long term.
However with continuous advances in technology, orthodontic treatment for adults is becoming more popular. The traditional ‘train-track’ metal braces are no longer the only choice for straightening teeth, you can now choose a more modern, more efficient and more discreet brace system to achieve the smile you want and the good news is that many of these orthodontic conditions are very treatable in adults!
From the scanners we use to comfortably gain a model of your teeth to the state of the art processes used to create your bespoke aligner, brace or retainer, digital dentistry is a vital part of service we offer at One Smile Dental.

It is important to keep your teeth and the appliance clean throughout the treatment, you will need to attend regular appointments so your brace can be adjusted, or to collect your next set of aligners.
Spend time showing off your smile, not hiding it!
Many adults spend their entire lives covering their mouths when they laugh, smile or talk. They feel stuck because they do not want to wear metal braces for years or they are concerned that other corrective procedures could be too invasive or too expensive.
We have helped 1000's of patients get the smile they have dreamed of. We offer a rage of brace solutions and w have lots of ways of making sure your new smile is affordable, including offering interest free payments.
Orthodontic treatment can be provided at any age, even though most people think of pre-teens and teens when they think of orthodontics.
We would recommend starting the process while the child is still growing, by taking advantage of growth spurts, and with early orthodontic treatment we can hope to move the teeth and jaw into a better alignment quicker and the results are likely to be more stable.
