Our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent will discuss what you are looking for from orthodontic treatment. We will carry out an assessment and examination of your teeth to identify the factors that are affecting the appearance of your smile and oral health, and we will determine which treatment option will be most suitable and beneficial for you.

Traditional braces

The type of braces that you need will depend on the extent or severity of the misalignment of your teeth. For complex orthodontic cases, our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent here at Ashlow Orthodontics will recommend traditional fixed metal braces. These braces are the most effective at addressing complicated orthodontic issues and can be commonly seen in teenagers, helping to create a neatly aligned smile to promote better dental health for life. Traditional orthodontic braces work using a system of metal wires and brackets that can be fixed to the front surface of your teeth and are connected to one another to help pull your teeth into the desired positions. The average treatment time with traditional orthodontic braces ranges from 1 to 2 years, and with the use of retainers and regular visits to our clinic, you can maintain a beautiful and healthy smile for the rest of your life.

Clear braces

Traditional orthodontic braces are known for being quite visible in the mouth, and if this is an issue for you, then you can speak to our orthodontist to find out about clear braces. Clear braces work in the same way as traditional orthodontic braces; however, the components are designed to be more discreet and therefore draw less attention to your mouth. Rather than grey or metallic silver brackets and wires, clear braces use clear or tooth-coloured brackets, which is a significant advantage if you want your braces to be subtle.

Clear braces are also suitable for those with complex orthodontic cases and have a similar treatment time to traditional orthodontic braces unless components have to be replaced, which can slow down the straightening process.

Speak to us at Ashlow Orthodontics today to find out more about addressing the misalignment issues of your teeth with traditional orthodontic braces or clear orthodontic braces in Stoke-on-Trent. We have payment plans available to suit your budget, and we will help you make the right choice so that you can straighten your teeth at your comfort and convenience.
