At our dental centre, we use the latest in cutting-edge treatments to correct a range of orthodontic problems, such as:

Misaligned bites

• Underbites – when the upper teeth are too far back, and the lower teeth are too far forward
• Overbites – when the upper teeth fit too far over the lower teeth
• Gappy teeth – missing teeth or too few teeth can result in gaps in between the teeth
• Open bites – when you bite down, and there’s space between the upper and lower teeth
• Crossbites – when the upper teeth bite down unevenly on the lower teeth
• Overcrowding – if there’s not enough jaw space and too many teeth, crowding occurs

Benefits of orthodontic treatment

• Straight teeth are easy to brush and floss, reducing the chance of decay and disease
• Correct bites allow for clear speech
• Misaligned teeth are put under excess pressure, causing the enamel to wear out prematurely
• Correct bites also make it easy to chew food correctly, which aids digestion

Fixed braces

Metal or ceramic braces are commonly used in mild, moderate, or severe orthodontic cases. They are more affordable options and allow for precise results.

Removable braces

These braces are used to treat a range of teeth straightening treatments with comfort and speed. Patients enjoy the freedom and modern benefits that come with removable braces.

Headgear

Headgear is worn to move the back teeth further back in order to create extra space or to stop the back teeth from moving forward and keep them in their present position whilst the front teeth are being straightened.

Retainers

Retainers are appliances that maintain and hold the alignment of your teeth and the improvement of your bite after the completion of active orthodontic treatment. After orthodontic treatment, wearing a retainer is important to prevent the teeth from drifting out of place.

Which treatment is right for me?

The best orthodontic treatment for you simply depends on your individual case. At your initial consultation, your dentist in Catford will discuss with you the best treatment to suit your needs.

What happens at my initial consultation?

Your initial consultation is a comprehensive, hour-long appointment that allows both you and your orthodontist to define your goals as well as determine the right treatment for you.

Your dentist in Catford will give you a full dental examination and take X-rays, photos, and impressions of your teeth. After performing these investigative procedures, your dentist will be able to draw up your treatment plan and then begin your treatment at your next appointment.
