If you have crooked teeth, then you are probably familiar with feeling less than confident about your appearance. However, teeth that are misaligned, crowded or have large gaps can also cause other problems. Having teeth in the wrong position can affect how you eat and speak as well as the overall health of your jaw. Excessive spacing between the teeth can undermine their stability, and uneven teeth are harder to clean because there are more places for plaque to accumulate. This can cause gum inflammation, discomfort and infection if left unresolved. At One Smile Oral Care, we fit braces in West Malling to realign your teeth, enhance your smile and improve your health.
Solutions for all ages
We like to develop a good relationship with our younger patients and ideally for children in West Malling, braces are fitted when there is still a mixture of baby and adult teeth. This means that the teeth can be realigned while the jaw is developing to avoid problems in the future. However, it is never too late even if you are an adult or have had treatment in the past which has relapsed. Metal braces are a good choice for younger patients as they are more robust, but adults often have different requirements. Advances in technology mean that we are now able to offer our patients in West Malling braces that are more discreet, faster and more comfortable than before.
Modern techniques
We are pleased to offer braces in West Malling that fit into your lifestyle. Invisalign is a system that uses a series of clear plastic aligners. These are changed every two weeks to gently guide your teeth into place. The aligners are almost invisible and very comfortable as they are made from smooth plastic. They are also removeable for eating and cleaning, so do not interfere with everyday life. If you prefer fixed braces, then translucent ceramic brackets can help to minimise their visual impact.
Having braces in West Malling has benefitted so many of our patients and we would like you to share their experiences. Give yourself the gift of a more attractive smile and a healthier mouth by contacting us today to discuss your options.
