For many years, orthodontics was children’s territory, but this has gradually changed. There are many reasons why as an adult you should consider visiting an orthodontist. Maybe you never had braces as a child or teenager, or did not wear your retainers as often as you were supposed to.
Either way, if you are not satisfied with your smile, visiting the orthodontist in Harley Street is the first step. Our experienced orthodontists in Harley Street, will examine your teeth and bite and help you determine whether you are in need of teeth straightening treatment. Here are a few signs that you may need to see an orthodontist as soon as possible.
Abnormal bite
Patients can receive orthodontic treatment to correct an abnormal bite. If your bite is normal, your upper teeth will slightly overlap your lower teeth. The space between the overlap of the upper and lower teeth will be very small. If the overlap is wider, then there is something irregular about your bite and you should see an orthodontist in Harley Street. If left untreated, overbites, underbites and crossbites can lead to serious problems.
Crowded and gapped teeth
Another reason to visit an orthodontist in Harley Street is because the space in between your teeth is uneven. This can result in gapped or overcrowded teeth. Issues with crowded and gapped teeth are not just cosmetic. Such teeth are a lot harder to brush and floss and you will struggle to keep up with your dental hygiene routine. This can lead to the development of tooth decay and gum disease in the long run.
Improve your oral health and self-esteem
Receiving orthodontic treatment is a great way to improve your self-image, and feel better about yourself. If you are concerned with the aesthetics of regular braces, you needn’t worry. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we offer a wide range of discreet braces, which are designed specifically for adults and can be used to treat a variety of oral problems.
