Straighter Teeth in Berkshire, how and why?
The road to straighter teeth in Berkshire is often referred to as orthodontics. orthodontics are a fantastic option for improving the overall appearance of your teeth. But straight teeth allows for much more than just improved aesthetics; it now also offers fantastic oral health benefits!
So how can this be accomplished and what could it mean for you let’s take a further look.
What’s an Orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontic treatments allow your dentist to correct imperfections with your teeth and improve the overall appearance by effectively correcting such things as overly crowded teeth, underbites, gapped teeth and overbites. Correcting such imperfections with your teeth is a huge boost to a person’s self-confidence and can really make the difference when they smile, it can even be the reason they are happy to smile again! That being said, the benefits are not limited to the aesthetic side of things, aspiring to get treatment for straighter teeth in Berkshire has numerous health benefits too.
Let’s have a brief look at these as well as the different types of treatment available from our wonderful staff at Old Windsor Dental.
Treatments
While a large list of treatments may at first appear overwhelming this is simply to cover a wide range of patient needs. Once you discuss your personal circumstances and the desired end results, our team at Old Windsor Dental will be able to provide you with an achievable treatment path with the expected end results mapped out for you in advance.
Some well known orthodontic treatments are:
Clear braces – This retainer-like clear guards are gradually resized and new ones provided to bit by bit shift the position of the teeth in your mouth to leave them eventually in their final position. This is a great and discreet option for re-aligning such conditions as those discussed earlier.
Clear or invisible braces – These like the above are a discreet option for those who may be put off by the potentially unsightly appearance of those traditional braces, usually the case with adults seeking these treatments. These use clear or tooth coloured mounting points on the teeth fixed together with thin clear or tooth coloured wired to allow for an almost unnoticeable treatment option that can be adjusted over time by your dentist to help you get to the end goal of more aligned teeth.
There are of course many other options so talk to the team now at Old Windsor Dental who, with a consultation, can help you find the best solution to your specific needs.
Further health benefits
Yes, the aesthetic benefits are clearly seen but less obvious but equally as important are the benefits to your oral health. With straighter teeth in Berkshire, you can avoid conditions that come from misalignment, this may include avoiding uneven wear on your teeth that might otherwise occur with underbites or overbites. By getting everything in line with your teeth you avoid potential jaw problems and potentially even combat aspects of your teeth that could affect the overall shape of your face. By reducing gaps in your teeth you also make it easier to brush your teeth more effectively and give less room for the plaque that leads to tooth decay and gum disease to build up. These health benefits clearly demonstrate the value of seeking out orthodontics at Old Windsor Dental.
