Children’s orthodontics

Orthodontic braces for children help achieve a beautiful smile which they can carry into the rest of their life. A neatly aligned smile from a young age helps patients look after their teeth more effectively. By addressing crookedness, overlapping teeth, protruding teeth and bite disorders means that there are less hard to reach areas of your mouth in which food particles or bacteria can linger. Lingering food and bacteria can result in the buildup of plaque and the formation of tartar which can then affect the appearance of your teeth and also result in many different dental issues. By making sure that your teeth are neatly aligned you will be able to maintain better dental hygiene. There are significantly less hard to reach areas for bacteria to build up in and therefore there are less chances of experiencing dental complications in the future.

Children’s orthodontic braces are made out of metal brackets and the wires which are attached to the front surface of your teeth. They work by applying continuous pressure on the teeth to push them into a neat formation. An average treatment time for children’s orthodontics is one or two years however this varies from patient to patient as each smile is unique and depends on the extent of misalignment to begin with.

invisible braces

Adults who are looking to address the misalignment of their teeth can benefit from invisible braces here at Ashlow orthodontics. Invisible braces are an attractive alternative to traditional orthodontic braces as they provide discretion during the treatment period. As the name suggests, invisible braces are almost invisible in your mouth and therefore they have proven to be a popular choice amongst adults who do not want to draw any further attention to their teeth.
