Over the last few decades thanks to advances in dental technology there are a wide range of different types of braces Stoke-on-Trent to help address the misalignment issues of your teeth. The majority of the adult population have a certain degree of misalignment or crookedness of their teeth whether mild or extensive which needs addressing however due to the reluctance towards conventional orthodontics has been left ignored.

The advantages of conventional orthodontics

Conventional orthodontics using metal wires and brackets which are fixed to the front of your teeth are the most effective method of addressing the aesthetic issues of your teeth. However these braces are highly visible in the mouth and therefore most adults prefer not to undergo orthodontic treatment and would rather be unhappy with the look of their smile. However it is important to address these issues not only to improve the look of your smile and help you feel better about yourself but also to promote better oral health. Crooked or wonky smiles may be endearing however they have hard to reach areas in which plaque and bacteria can build up and result in many different dental issues. A neatly aligned smile is attractive but more importantly it is easier to keep clean and maintain good oral hygiene because your toothbrush and a dental floss is able to reach all the surfaces and sides of your teeth and therefore less bacteria will be able to build up in your mouth.

Any dental issues will be addressed prior to orthodontic treatment to make sure that braces Stoke-on-Trent are beneficial for you and do not present further complications.

Lingual braces Stoke-on-Trent

For extensive misalignment issues of the teeth, although we highly recommend conventional orthodontics, there are many different options available if you are reluctant towards these. If you require extensive orthodontic treatment you may wish to find out about lingual braces stoke-on-Trent which are very similar to traditional orthodontic braces, in that they are also comprised of metal brackets and wires which provide constant pressure on the surface of your teeth to pull them into a more optimal position. The strong advantage of lingual braces is that these are attached to the back of your teeth so they are almost invisible from the outside. Lingual braces are also highly effective in treating the misalignment of your teeth, and although they are more expensive, they are an excellent alternative to the high visibility of normal braces.
