Orthodontics
Unfortunately self-confidence and sometimes even success can be linked to your appearance, this is why it pays to have a straight, confident smile. Orthodontic treatment will not only improve the appearance of your smile, but also help you bite more evenly, therefore helping maintain good oral hygiene.
We offer four methods of teeth straightening at Abbey Dental Care however our first step would be to assess which is the right one for you:
The main differences are detailed below:
Inman Aligner
This teeth straightening treatment uses just one removable retainer, making the process much shorter and also cheaper than the Clear Guide system. However the Inman Aligner teeth straightening method can only be used for the front top and bottom teeth and is slightly more visible than the Clear Guide system.
ClearSmile Aligner
ClearSmile Aligner is a clear removable cosmetic appliance designed to straighten your front 6-8 teeth. ClearSmile Aligner technology can straighten teeth that are crowded, rotated, tilted forward or backwards using exact impressions taken by a dentist.
For the perfection of both these treatments, we can use Clear Guide, which helps to refine the teeth straightening process.
Clear Guide
This removable teeth straightening method uses a series of clear removable retainers to straighten your smile. Due to the fact that these appliances are clear and removable, the teeth straightening process is discreet making it very popular with adults.
Invisalign
This innovative orthodontic system offers a more discreet way to straighten teeth by using a series of clear, customised aligners. With no fixed brackets or wires, these can be taken out for cleaning your teeth and eating. Each aligner is very slightly different so crooked, crowded or gappy teeth can be gradually moved to an improved position.
The benefits of straight teeth
Teeth straightening can improve the attractiveness of your smile and confidence.
Teeth straightening can improve the way teeth function dentally, leading to a better long-term health of your teeth and gums
Straighter teeth are much easier to keep clean, leading to better oral hygiene and reducing the chance of cavities and gum disease.
