If you are thinking about straightening your teeth, then you need to speak to our dentist and find out about the different types of orthodontic treatment that are available for you. Orthodontic treatment has many advantages. To begin with, it can improve the appearance of your smile, which can bring positivity into all aspects of your life. If you are happy with the appearance of your teeth, you are likely to smile more often. Smiling is good for our health and well-being. By smiling, you can reduce sadness and depression and improve your mental health and even your cardiovascular health and immune system. If you are happy with the appearance of your teeth, then you are likely to have higher self-confidence and self-esteem than those who are embarrassed by their teeth. Orthodontic treatment also improves your dental health by increasing the longevity of your teeth and reducing dental health complications, for example, cavities, tooth decay and gum disease.

To begin with, you need to book an appointment with our dentist Welling at Welling Dental Studio to find out whether orthodontic treatment is suitable for you. Orthodontic treatment is available for patients of all ages with no upper age limit. If you have complex dental health issues, then these will all need to be addressed before you can begin orthodontic treatment; however, you will eventually be able to straighten your teeth. These issues include cavities, tooth decay or gum disease. If you are suffering from such issues, then straightening your teeth may cause further damage to them. Our dentist Welling will put together a tailored treatment plan for you, and this may require a few appointments and certain treatments before you are ready to straighten your teeth.

Once all your issues have been addressed, you will undergo a three-dimensional scan of your mouth, which will allow us to show you how your teeth can be transformed if you undergo orthodontic treatment. Braces can be used to address crooked teeth, overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth, protruding front teeth as well as different types of bite disorders. These alignment issues affect the appearance of your smile and your dental health. If your teeth are misaligned, then there is an increased chance of tooth decay, disease and damage.

Invisalign

One of the most popular choices for orthodontic treatment with our dentist Welling is Invisalign. Invisalign is a modern method of straightening teeth. Invisalign uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten teeth rather than traditional metal brackets and wires. This treatment is suitable for adult patients of all ages as well as for patients as young as six years old. With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth comfortably, conveniently and at your discretion. If this sounds like what you are looking for, then speak to our dentist sooner rather than later. Teeth straightening can take many months or even years; this is why the sooner you begin the process, the sooner you can start enjoying the benefits.
