Harley Street Dental Clinic London 

 

Ever wondered why mothers start fretting about their children's appearance the minute the first milk tooth falls???What follows is, rushed trips to the local dentist to ensure that the perfect set and the smile comes through. Orthodontic problems are best identified and rectified at that age as the gum tissue is soft and still developing. This doesn't mean that teenagers or young adults have missed the bus; modern day Orthodontics provides a solution for every situation.

 

Ideally an orthodontic treatment is recommended by the local dentist who notices changes in the 'ideal bite' and refers the case to the Orthodontist in the area. An 'Ideal bite' is when the upper arch (jaw) just about overlaps the lower arch and the upper middle line remains in sync with the lower middle line. When either of the two is misplaced an Orthodontist is called for.

 

As per the Orthodontists, at the Harley Street Dental Clinic, London the ideal time for the treatment to commence is between the years of eight and fourteen. Orthodontic treatment initiated at this age is known to have optimal results. Teenagers and young adults with crooked, uneven sized teeth or jaw related issues like the incorrect jaw position or jaw joint disorder can all now be corrected by the trained and highly specialized Orthodontists at the Harley Street Dental clinic, London. The only difference in the adult treatment being the time duration which is longer, as the facial bones are no longer growing.

 

Most treatment plans are individualized depending on the nature of the correction required. Braces could be used for a period of one to three years followed by the use of a retainer, which helps retain the new position of the teeth. Metallic, hard and bulky braces which remind us of 'Ugly Betty' deter most people from undergoing the treatment is now a thing of the past. Orthodontists at the Harley Street Dental clinic, London state that most patients undergoing orthodontic treatment opt for the trendy and invisible look of the Clear braces, this also helps most children and teenagers avoid the 'tin grin' label in school or college.

 

Clear Braces are the modern day version of the traditional metallic braces; the only difference being that the Clear Braces are made of a tooth colored ceramic brackets and attached to the tooth with the use of a special kind of cement. This procedure is very popular with teenager and adults as they can be worn without being hindrance to the individual appearance and doesn't let most people know that a dental job is underway. From the Orthodontics perspective also, it is beneficial as the treatment can continue for a longer time sans the esthetic stress.
