Why Should You Consider Orthodontics in Ladbroke Grove?

Do you have teeth that are significantly crooked or which don’t bite together correctly? If the answer is yes then there is no need to put up with it, especially as Ladbroke Grove Dental Care has an extensive range of braces which can easily and comfortably straighten your teeth. Perhaps you don’t feel that treatment is really worth it, particularly if you are older, but it’s never too late to have orthodontics in Ladbroke Grove and there are a number of benefits in doing so.

Benefits of Adult Orthodontics in Ladbroke Grove

When you try to brush or floss your teeth do you find it difficult or near impossible to do so thoroughly? This is a common problem amongst people with significantly overcrowded or overlapping teeth as it can be tricky to even try to fit a piece of floss in between each tooth. As a result the risk of developing gum disease or tooth decay increases, as it does the risk of tooth loss. In addition, teeth that don’t bite together correctly are more likely to wear down unevenly as those that bite together first will be more likely to wear or chip or fracture.

When your teeth are straighter, you’ll find it easier to brush and floss and closing up any unwanted gaps in between teeth will help reduce the risk of food debris becoming trapped. Although it’s more than likely you’re thinking about having orthodontics just for the cosmetic benefits, it’s worth thinking about other very good reasons for doing so as orthodontics could prove to be a worthwhile investment in your long-term oral health.

Modern Orthodontics Can Be Virtually Invisible

Here at Ladbroke Grove Dental Care, we can offer patients a choice of several different types of orthodontic systems. If this conjures up images of unsightly metal brackets and wires then there is no need to worry as today the most up-to-date braces in Ladbroke Grove are virtually invisible. Brackets can be clear or tooth coloured and are powered by very thin virtually invisible wires or sometimes it’s possible to straighten teeth using removable braces. The introduction of newer technologies means that treatment is faster than ever before.

Finding Out More about Braces

If you are interested in finding out how you can straighten your crooked teeth in Ladbroke Grove, then contact our dental surgery on 020 7727 9836 to book an appointment.

During your initial consultation our dentist will carefully examine your teeth and jaws before recommending the most suitable treatment. This may be a fixed or removable brace as sometimes fixed braces produce more precise results and may be good if you have slightly more complex orthodontic problems to correct. They can also discuss with you what to expect during treatment, how to look after your teeth while wearing a brace and the overall length of time to complete the procedure. Of course you’ll also learn the cost. Afterwards you will be able to smile and talk with confidence with your newly straightened teeth.
