We all dream of the perfect smile, but unfortunately most people suffer from a certain extent of misalignment concerning their teeth. This may be very mild and almost unnoticeable or you may have complex orthodontic issues and very crooked teeth. We know very well that each smile is unique, so if you visit us at Ashlow Orthodontics our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent will carry out a thorough smile assessment and a comprehensive examination of your teeth and gums, to put together an individually tailored treatment plan to address the issues that are affecting your teeth.

Do you need orthodontic treatment?

If your teeth are crooked, wonky, overlapping and seem like they are pointing in different directions, then orthodontic treatment is necessary for you. If you have gaps between your teeth or your teeth are overcrowded then you also need to find out about orthodontic treatment to help address these issues. Bite disorders are another orthodontic complication, when your teeth do not fit together properly and this can also be addressed by our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent. These issues have a detrimental impact on the appearance of your smile and they also cause significant dental complications later on in life. Here at Ashlow Orthodontics we recommend that you address the misalignment issues of your teeth as early on in life as possible. As soon as all your adult teeth have erupted you are ready for orthodontic treatment with our orthodontist

What are the options available?

Speak to our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent today to find out about the different treatment options which are available for you. We are able to offer different types of braces to fit your dental requirements and your personal wishes. When our orthodontist puts together your treatment plan they are able to take into consideration your personal preferences as there is a range of different braces to allow them to do so.

Here at our practice we can offer traditional orthodontic braces which are commonly seen on young children, but can be used with adults for addressing complicated misalignment conditions of the teeth. If you are looking for a more discreet treatment option then we can offer the same types of braces, but these are composed of different materials so that they are almost invisible in your mouth. We are also able to offer fixed braces which are attached to the backs of your teeth to allow further discretion. With treatment times ranging from approximately six months up to two years, fixed braces, whether traditional or invisible, are highly effective and will help you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile, the benefits of which you will be able to enjoy for the rest of your life.

For those with mild or moderate misalignment issues we have Invisalign which uses removable aligners to straighten your teeth rather than fixed braces in the mouth. Invisalign allows you to achieve a neatly aligned smile at your discretion and is convenient and comfortable, ideal for modern hectic lifestyles. Speak to us today to find out more about the different treatment options that are available for you and let us help you decide how best to address the misalignment issues of your teeth for a healthy and happy smile.
