As well as having more visual appeal, straighter teeth are better for your oral health. Wonky smiles often have awkward areas that are difficult for your toothbrush to clean. Bacteria and food particles can hide in these gaps, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we have many ways to enhance your dental positioning. Our Harley Street orthodontics will give you a smile you’ll be happy to show off.
The advantages of Harley Street orthodontics
You might be aware that the appearance of your teeth can be spoiled by small imperfections. Maybe your front teeth stick out a bit too much, or there are small gaps between the teeth where they ought to meet. Poor dental positioning can make eating an unpleasant experience, and misaligned bites can put strain on the jaw. Our friendly team will work with you to find the most appropriate method of straightening your teeth.
Our techniques are efficient, contemporary, and discreet. There’s no need to worry about having to wear highly visible braces. With Invisalign, you’ll be given a series of transparent plastic aligners. Precisely shaped to fit over your teeth, you’ll wear a set of these aligners for around 7-10 days before exchanging it for the next one. Because each set is a slightly different shape, your teeth will be gently pressured into improved positions.
Fixed braces
If your situation requires wire-and-bracket braces, we can attach these to the backs of your teeth. This innovative type of Harley Street orthodontics stays hidden in your mouth while treatment is ongoing. It greatly reduces the potential for embarrassment and self-consciousness that often deters people from having necessary tooth repositioning.
Long-term benefits
After having orthodontics in Harley Street, you’ll enjoy many years of improved oral health and enhanced cosmetic appeal. It takes a little patience to move the teeth into better positions. Typical treatment times can be 18 months or longer, depending on how much movement needs to be achieved. Our comfortable, customised processes minimise disruption while they maximise dental potential. Talk to us today to find out how we can transform your smile.
