Do you have crooked teeth?

Sun, 27th Aug 2017

If you have crooked teeth -

The first and most important thing is to fully understand the problem – and to look at all the facts that contribute to the causes. By doing this we have the best chance of allowing for all issues related to your crowding and plan for correction. 

To do this, a comprehensive assessment is carried out including models, photographs, dental health, TMJ and airway screening. X-rays are ordered and assessed before a treatment plan is presented.

Treatment options are then presented. These may include, braces, fixed or removable appliances, invisalign and other options including the long term shape, contour or restoration of the teeth, all as a part of your orthodontic treatment plan – costs and risks will be fully discussed and a treatment process instigated during your consultation.

Early orthodontics for children focuses mainly on proper growth and development, but as an adult with crooked teeth, your most immediate worry may be about how your smile appears!

Crooked teeth can make your entire smile seem imbalanced which diminishes its cosmetic appeal. But the greatest threat is more than just your smile’s appearance; crooked teeth are at a higher risk of suffering damage or severe wear, developing cavities or gum disease in the tissues around them.

It’s a team effort with you to achieve the results you always wanted.

It is a big mistake to just focus on appearance with dental treatment. The problems you have are for a reason – this needs to be correctly identified and dealt with so your remake doesn’t just end up failing like your original teeth.

 So give us a call and we will demystify the process and give you a great solution that works for both your smile and your pocket.
