About orthodontics

Teeth straightening, also know as orthodontics, is a long term commitment so finding the right method for you and your lifestyle is important. Orthodontics is a specialist form of dentistry which aims to straighten teeth and align jaws to produce a healthier bite and a perfect smile. In the past, most orthodontic patients were children, but now we see more adults searching for the perfect smile.

Crooked teeth often do not fit together correctly, are harder to keep clean and have increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Invisalign clear aligners

The Invisalign clear aligner system straightens teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner approximately every week, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually towards the projected final position.

Metal braces

These are the most common types of appliances that people think of when they hear “braces”. They are small metal brackets that are attached to each individual tooth with a metal wire running through. This system allows for full and precise movement of the teeth. They are common in private treatment as they tend to work the fastest out of the fixed appliances due to the lesser friction between the brackets and the wires. These can be customised with coloured elastics if you feel so inclined.

  • Fast Working

  • Robust and Durable

  • Cost Effective

  • Visible

Ceramic braces

These appliances are more favoured by people who wish to have clear braces. Although they tend to work more slowly than metal braces due to the difference in material between brackets and wires, they can be a lot more discreet than their metal counterparts. Our Clarity™ ceramic system includes resistance to heavily staining foods and drinks such as bolognaise, curry, tea and coffee so you can eat and drink more freely during treatment without worrying about staining your braces.

  • More Discrete

  • Cost Effective

  • Slightly Longer Treatment

  • Middling Cost

Damon braces

Unlike conventional type braces where the wire is engaged with a small elastic, the Damon system uses gentle forces to create a fuller smile by using a gate system. This lessens the need for extractions in certain cases. Damon also works to upright the teeth to add to your smile’s appeal. Studies have shown that a fuller, wider smile is considered more attractive. Their system also allows the wire to move more freely and can cut treatment time down in some cases. This system is available in metal and clear ceramic.

  • Option of Metal or Ceramic

  • Less Likely to need Extractions

  • Fuller and Wider Smile

  • Increased Cost

Aftercare services

After your braces come off, your teeth won’t necessarily want to stay in their new, straighter position so a retainer will help keep them in place. The length of time you have to wear your retainer will depend on your individual circumstances.

Many retainers are a comfortable clear mouthguard style design that can be worn while you sleep however in some cases permanent retention may be advised. In these instances, thin metal wires are bonded to the inside surfaces of your teeth either in addition to or instead of removable retainers.

Let One Smile Dental help you complete the perfect smile that we spent the last few months creating together.
