When you are looking to straighten your teeth, you will want to know what the different options are. Here at Ashlow Orthodontics, we have a few different types of Braces Stoke-on-Trent for you to choose from. It is important to find the right treatment that is best for your individual needs.

Sometimes, even when you take good care of your teeth, overcrowding or misalignment can occur, and this can contribute to a lower self-esteem. This is why we offer an array of teeth straightening treatments to suit your specific needs, and help you get your smile back.

Traditional metal braces

Our first option is great if you have a more severe case, as they are very effective and have been a popular option for many years. These braces Stoke-on-Trent are usually made out of a metal wire and brackets, which are attached to each individual tooth using a bonding material. The wire is connected to the brackets by elastic O-rings, which can help with movement in the mouth. You will have appointments with us throughout the process for tightening, which helps to encourage the straightening of your teeth. The amount of time this treatment takes can vary from 6 months to 2 years, it all comes down to the individual.

Lingual braces

If you are looking for a more discreet option, we also offer lingual braces Stoke-on-Trent. These use the same method as the traditional brace mentioned above, but are attached to the back of your teeth instead, and only focus on 4-6 front teeth. By only focusing on a few front teeth, which is what other people see the most, it can help to increase the speed of the treatment, as well as effectively targeting the most visible teeth.

Invisalign

Another teeth straightening treatment we offer is Invisalign, which uses plastic aligners instead of wires and brackets. This is great for more milder cases, and is an effective and discreet way of straightening your teeth. We will take in-depth scans of your teeth, and send them off to influence the creation of your aligners. They are removable, and you can change through the different aligners from the comfort of your own home. This is a great option if you are looking for a treatment that requires less dental appointments, and no non-invasive surgeries.

Clear braces

This is another discreet straightening option that we offer at Ashlow Orthodontics, and involves the same method as traditional braces. The difference is that this treatment uses clear brackets instead of metal ones, which allows for a less protruding appearance. Our clear braces are just as effective as traditional braces, if not more, but give a softer look throughout the treatment. This is great if you have a more professional or social career, and don’t want to draw too much attention to your teeth.

Here at Ashlow Orthodontics, we take pride in taking care of our patients, and making sure they receive treatments that are of high-quality. If you are wanting to straighten your smile with qualified dentists, don’t hesitate to contact us today!
