We are all different, and when it comes to our mouths, it is plain to see that no two people are the same. Certain conditions that we suffer from may be similar, but the way we react and deal with those problems varies from patient to patient. Orthodontics in Stoke designs each treatment around a particular patient. Your personality and particular expectations help us to prescribe the treatment that suits you. Here at Ashlow Orthodontics, we want you to remember the experience for all the right reasons so that special care and attention is taken to help you maintain a healthy mouth.

Guidance and understanding

Dentistry in this century has progressed so rapidly that keeping up requires us to attend regular seminars and training on new equipment and techniques. This extends beyond just dental work and involves understanding the mental psyche of our patients.

As specialists in orthodontics in Stoke, we regularly see problems with different bite and jaw bone misalignments. Our primary objective is to ensure that your teeth and gums perform the job they were designed to perform. Once we have corrected the primary condition, we will turn our attention to achieving the best cosmetic outcome possible. We will always discuss the options available and what the predicted results will be for you. We want you to make a decision based on as much information as possible and a thorough understanding of the treatment. Ultimately, the decision of which treatment to select is yours, and we are happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Building your children’s confidence

What a lovely gift it is to give your children confidence, and what better way than to help them to have a broad confident smile. Children are particularly self-conscious if they have a dental problem, and with the advances in dental science and technology, almost any dental misalignment can be corrected. Once your children’s adult teeth have erupted, it is a good idea to bring them to us for a general checkup. During that time, we can assess whether there are any potential problems that may become evident later. It is also a time for us to educate your child on the correct way to maintain their teeth and gums, the proper brushing and flossing techniques and the importance of frequent brushing, especially after meals. If any orthodontics in Stoke treatment is required either at that time or later, we can make you aware and discuss the options.

Modern orthodontics is a technological marvel

It is quite incredible what we can do these days when it comes to dental misalignments. The equipment allows us to provide a virtual image of how you will look after treatment even before you have started treatment. The different devices now available are a far cry from the metal braces that were required in the past. Those same metal braces have been developed and are now a far more effective and comfortable device. The latest braces and aligners provide a targeted treatment, which is far more efficient and less conspicuous. The design and material used have changed, and how we correct many dental problems will also encourage patients to have treatment.
