For adults, it’s important to have straight teeth. Not only do straighter teeth look better, but they are also actually stronger when they are all working together with evenly distributed chewing pressure.
Here at One Smile Oral Care, we understand that we can’t control how our teeth come through. We offer a range of different teeth straightening treatments to combat crooked or misaligned teeth.
In West Malling, braces come in a few different forms that can help you to get the straight teeth you’ve always dreamed of. Most braces work on the same principle of exerting gentle pressure on your teeth that, over time, moves your teeth into position.
Most treatments are predictable and easy to control, so your teeth will be adjusted to a more desirable position.
Types of braces in West Malling
There are a few different types of braces available here at One Smile Oral Care. Depending on your age and personal preference, different braces may be suitable for you.
The most common types of braces are traditional metal fixed braces. These braces are the most tried and tested method of teeth straightening. They are usually associated with kids and teenagers as it’s important to straighten teeth as they are developing.
For adults who may not want the metal appearance of traditional braces, advances in dental technology and materials have allowed for braces to be made from tooth-coloured ceramic and clear materials. Although these are less conspicuous, they can be more delicate, which is a factor you may want to consider before committing to treatments.
Alternative to traditional braces
There is an alternative to traditional braces that has been growing in popularity in recent years. Invisalign treatment can straighten your teeth without having any visual implications on your smile.
Invisalign uses custom-moulded plastic tooth trays that gently re-position your teeth. The whole treatment is planned before it even starts and you change the aligners yourself at home.
A big advantage of this type of treatment is that the aligners are completely removable, making keeping your teeth clean much easier. This makes mealtimes much less of a hassle.
