Teeth Straightening in McKennell Dental Practice
Journey to the best smile.
Teeth Straightening—an Overview
Do your crooked teeth make you feel self-conscious? Do you avoid socialising or taking pictures at events? Well, teeth straightening in McKennell Dental Practice offers stunning, cost-effective treatments for straightening misaligned teeth and achieving a smile that reflects your personality and professional needs. Let’s work together to make you healthier and more confident.
What is Teeth Straightening?
Teeth alignment treatments in McKennell Dental Practice are designed to correct crooked teeth, giving you a more symmetrical smile and enhanced chewing abilities.
This orthodontic treatment for adults extends beyond gorgeous smiles and happy looks. It is also vital for your overall dental health. Crooked teeth make it harder to clean and floss; food can become stuck between the teeth, resulting in cavities, gum bleeding, and pain. Teeth straightening softly aligns the teeth, resulting in improved oral hygiene.
Do You Need Teeth Straightening?
Modern teeth straightening solutions can be applied in conditions as follows:
- You’re not satisfied with your teeth: If gaps, uneven smiles, or crooked teeth cause you to feel self-conscious
- Issues with eating: Misaligned teeth may cause stomach problems and discomfort because of poor chewing and grinding efficiency.
- Brushing and flossing might become difficult, leading to plaque accumulation, cavities, and gum disease.
- Trauma: Crooked teeth may cause painful, frequent bites to the tongue, cheeks, and lips.
- Misaligned teeth can cause headaches, neck discomfort and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) – jaw joint pain.
We regularly provide consultations and teeth straightening treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.
Types of Teeth Straightening
Aligners: Are you looking for teeth straightening for teenagers? Clear aligners are most commonly chosen by adults and teenagers. These custom-made, removable, and practically invisible aligners will softly and painlessly push your teeth into the right position.
Braces: Today’s fixed braces are more subtle than ever. They come in several types, such as Damon braces, lingual braces, and tooth-coloured ceramic braces. They are speedier and more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
Benefits of Teeth Straightening
There are several advantages of teeth straightening:
Aesthetics
Smile makeovers with teeth straightening give you a fantastic smile that complements your appearance and disposition.
Improved dental health
Straighter teeth reduce the incidence of plaque accumulation, cavities, and gum disease.
Improved jaw-joint health
The jaw joint muscles are relaxed, preventing high bite pressures and undesired tooth movements.
Improved overall health
You can chew food more easily, which helps with digestion and overall well-being.
Social confidence
A flawless smile allows you to interact effectively in both personal and professional settings.
No accidents
Lip bruising, tongue bites, and cheek bites are less likely when teeth are aligned and bites are repaired.
What Our Patients Say
I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.
Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.
