It’s time to stop hiding your smile and take the first step towards a brighter, more confident you.
What is Teeth Straightening?
Teeth alignment treatments in Croydon are methods for straightening your teeth to produce a lovely, symmetrical smile that improves the look of your face.
This orthodontic treatment for adults goes beyond aesthetics and perfect smiles. It is crucial for improving your overall oral health. Crooked teeth make brushing and flossing difficult, and there is a risk of food getting stuck between the teeth. This increases the risk of gum disease, cavities, and other dental problems. Teeth straightening gently reposition your teeth, offering an improved smile while also promoting better oral hygiene.
Do You Need Teeth Straightening?
You are a good candidate for modern teeth straightening solutions if:
- Unhappy with your crooked teeth: If you feel self-conscious about crooked teeth, gaps, or an uneven smile.
- Difficulty chewing food properly: Misaligned teeth can cause problems when chewing, leading to digestive issues and discomfort.
- Struggling with oral hygiene: If flossing or brushing feels like a struggle, it can lead to plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease.
- Frequent lip, cheek and tongue bites: Crooked teeth can inadvertently lead to random, painful incidents of lip, cheek and tongue bites.
- Jaw pain and headaches: If you suffer from jaw pain or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), headaches, or neck discomfort, it may be due to an improper bite caused by misaligned teeth.
We regularly provide consultations for teeth straightening to patients from Croydon, Addiscombe, Shirley, West Wickham, Thornton Heath, and Addington.
Types of Teeth Straightening
Aligners: Clear aligners are a popular choice for teeth straightening for teenagers and adults. These custom-made, removable, almost invisible aligners gently shift your teeth into place over time.
Braces: Modern fixed braces are more discreet than ever, with options such as tooth-coloured ceramic braces, lingual braces, and Damon braces. These modern alternatives provide quicker treatment times and greater comfort compared to older metal braces.
