How your teeth look can affect your self-confidence, and making the decision to straighten your teeth can be exciting and a little daunting. You may be excited about having a new, straight smile, but concerned about how you will look while your teeth are changing.
At Ashby Dental & Implant Clinic, we offer a range of teeth straightening options from traditional fixed braces to near-invisible aligners, so you can keep smiling throughout the duration of your treatment.
Invisalign® is a straightening system that uses clear aligners, which sit over your teeth and gently move them into the desired position.
The convenience and ease of clear aligners have made them a popular choice for anyone wanting a straighter smile. If you’re looking to transform yours, clear aligners could be a great option.
If you’re looking for the benefits of traditional fixed braces, but want a more discreet option, lingual braces could be perfect for you. Instead of being fitted to the front of teeth like metal and ceramic braces, this brace can be applied behind your teeth.
Fixed metal braces (also known as train track braces) have stood the test of time and are one of the most popular teeth straightening options, due to its predictable and reliable results.
A functional brace (sometimes referred to as a twin block) is used for children and adolescents whose jaws are still developing. It comes in two separate parts, one for the upper teeth and one for the lower. When worn together, these two blocks guide the lower jaw forward, encouraging improved growth and bite.
If you’re looking for the benefits of traditional fixed braces to straighten your smile, but you want them to be less noticeable, then discreet ceramic braces could be the perfect solution for you and your smile.
Retainers are used after you have had your teeth straightened to ensure that they remain in their new straight position and don’t move back to where they were before. There are two types of retainers available: bonded and removable.
