Braces in West Malling are a long-term solution for teeth straightening and can be either for aesthetic or health purposes. Even if it is a case that your slightly misaligned teeth are not affecting you eating or your dental hygiene routine but you want a stunning smile nonetheless, then wait no longer. At our dental practice in West Malling, braces are just one of the many services we offer to assure you have the confidence and dazzling smile you have always dreamed of.
Which braces to choose
At One Smile Oral Care, we now have a range of options for braces in West Malling. We can offer braces in the more traditional form such as the metal braces which are generally more suited to children, to the subtler invisible braces, which are only really noticeable up close. These are more than often used by adults. So, if your reason for getting braces is for purely cosmetic purposes, then opting for invisible braces ensures that your peers and work colleagues need not even know you are realigning your teeth.
How do braces work?
Braces are a systematic way of straightening your teeth by gently applying pressure which over time, move your teeth into your desired position. Braces are effectively a series of brackets and wires. The bracket is attached to either the outside or inside of your teeth, depending the type of brace you opt for, and the wire is clipped onto each bracket.
The wire can then be tightened at intervals so over the proposed duration of wearing the braces suggested by your cosmetic dentist, the whole unit applies a continuous pressure which slowly but surely realigns your teeth into the position desired. A bracket is made out of either metal, plastic or ceramic, depending on your choice of braces. They can be used to treat crooked or crowded teeth, re-adjust an over or under bite and other such dental problems. The duration of the treatment will depend on the original alignment of your teeth. This will be discussed during your initial consultation.
At our practice in West Malling, braces are just one more way for us to have our patients leave with a satisfied smile on their face.
