There was a time many years ago when the mentions of an orthodontist, teeth straightening and dental braces were regarded with trepidation. Normally, it was children that would get to wear the “scaffolding,” as the dental brace was referred to in those days. Fast forward to the twenty-first century, and the advances and development in dentistry have made a profound difference in patients’ attitudes to the treatment. You, as a patient, are now far more aware of the importance of your teeth and the fact that they are more than a means to chew your food. They also allow you to convey your emotions and deliver a confident smile to be proud of. To meet your demands, technology has allowed us to redesign the earlier dental appliance and create numerous new adaptations to the range of braces Stoke-on-Trent. There are many different malocclusion conditions, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowded teeth, etc. The treatment options today are more targeted because one treatment does not suit all conditions. At Ashlow Orthodontics, we have a team whose skills and expertise complement each other, providing you with the best treatment available. Oral education has made patients more aware of the need to maintain their teeth in a healthy condition if they are to retain them throughout their lives.

Attention to detail

Orthodontics requires attention to detail coupled with an artistic eye for creating facial symmetry mixed with a passion to, at the very least, meet the expectations of our patients. We have the skill, expertise, experience and equipment as well as the empathy and understanding of human nature. This entire package is what has allowed us to deliver many successes over the years. Every treatment we deliver is specifically designed around each patient because they are all individuals. Each detail of your condition and treatment will be discussed to ensure that the braces Stoke-on-Trent treatment plan delivers precisely what you expect.

More than a cosmetic treatment

Braces Stoke-on-Trent is now designed for all ages. Many adults never had the opportunity to have their malocclusion corrected when they were younger. If you are one of those many people, don’t delay; the sooner you take action, the sooner you will benefit from the treatment. Many patients see teeth straightening as purely a cosmetic treatment, but it is far from that. Your speech can be affected, and your inability to chew your food properly can result in digestion problems. It is also more difficult to clean misaligned teeth because getting between your teeth can become tough; this means that food debris remains between your teeth, causing tooth decay and, eventually, gum disease. Having teeth that are properly aligned ensures that your speech and ability to chew are not impeded. Oral healthcare and maintenance are a lot easier and more effective, allowing you to brush and floss properly and maintain fresh breath.

Designed to fit your character

Dental braces today come in a variety of shapes, colours and designs; they are designed to correct malocclusions and fit your character. You may want people to see your braces, so you can select a colourful one. Someone else may prefer to be unobtrusive and may select from a variety of teeth-coloured or clear options. You can select from braces that fit on the front of your teeth, the back of your teeth or over your teeth. Our experienced team will show you the various options to correct your condition. We can even show you how your smile will look after treatment so that you can get excited and motivated to complete the treatment.
