Do you wish you had straighter teeth? You may be worrying about how you look, or experiencing pain or difficulties with eating and speaking. If this sounds like you and you see us at Smilecraft in Stevenage, orthodontics can help. Orthodontics focuses on how the teeth, jaws and face develop. Every year over 200,000 children and teenagers in England and Wales have orthodontic treatment and make a long-term investment in their health and wellbeing. Treatment is best carried out during childhood when there is a mixture of baby and adult teeth. However, if you are an adult who has missed out on corrective procedures as a child, it is not too late to have work done now.
What are the benefits of having orthodontics in Stevenage?
Straighter teeth look better, which enhances your self-esteem and improves your confidence. They are also healthier. Teeth that are properly aligned are easier to clean, as there are fewer gaps in which plaque can accumulate. Correctly positioned teeth are also more stable, as they are properly supported and are less likely to move around in the mouth, get damaged or become loose. For our patients in Stevenage, orthodontics has also helped with discomfort from poorly positioned teeth, as well as issues around using the mouth normally. You may associate orthodontics with metal braces but there are now modern techniques available to suit your needs.
Fitting in with your lifestyle
We offer orthodontics in Stevenage for a range of issues, from resolving crowded or poorly spaced teeth to aligning upper or lower dental arches and correcting the bite of the teeth. A good bite allows the upper and lower sets to meet and work together properly during eating. Advances in dental technology have allowed us to provide faster, more comfortable treatment that is much less obtrusive. Modern braces used in the Six Months Smiles technique make use of tooth-coloured wires and brackets. You can have the smile you want without the inconvenience, discomfort and unsightliness of traditional methods. The treatment time is shorter than before, so it can often save you money too.
Our experienced team looks forward to discussing how orthodontics in Stevenage can help you.
