Braces Windsor: here to give you a radiant smile!

Are your misaligned teeth making you feel self-conscious when you smile? Do you always put your hand in front of your mouth when you laugh or smile? There was a time many years ago when the mention of braces Windsor would conjure up visions of an uncomfortable metal apparatus fitted to your teeth. Dentistry has moved on, and not only has that type of brace been improved tremendously but there is a variety of braces Windsor to help you achieve that “selfie” smile you have always dreamed of. It’s time to step forward and come into our dental practice at Old Windsor and let us put a beaming smile on your face.windsor-braces

Come on in, we are here to help

We understand how difficult it can be if you have misaligned teeth. The most common problems are crooked teeth, gapped teeth, overbites, underbites or protruding teeth. There are many more conditions like these that we can treat, and we want you to realise that you do not have to live with this problem.

How we can help

In the first instance, we will discuss with you what your problem might be and how it is affecting you. This sort of condition is more than just cosmetic as in many cases, you will find difficulty in chewing properly and your speech may be affected. Once we have discussed your problem from your angle, we will conduct a very thorough examination of your entire mouth. We will take x-rays, impressions of your teeth and several photographs of your mouth. This allows us to make a proper assessment of your condition, the causes, any problems that may have been compounded and the right form of treatment. We will then discuss our proposals with you in detail and then suggest a treatment plan that we believe will offer you a great outcome.

Braces and aligners

The development of braces Windsor and aligners has seen incredible advances in the design, techniques and variety of appliances at our disposal. No two people are the same, and the variety of braces and aligners available now allows us to prescribe a specific appliance for a specific need. Today, we can use metal braces that utilise a series of blocks, wires and bands as well as ceramic braces, which use a similar concept and are much smaller and more comfortable than they were in the past. Self-ligating braces are also similar but use clips in place of elastic to retain the wires. All can be fixed and require regular appointments for adjustments by us. Lingual braces work in the same way as the previously mentioned braces but they can be fitted behind your teeth so that they are hidden from view. Clear aligners work differently and resemble gum shields that can fit over your teeth; they are made from a clear dental material, making them far less conspicuous. A series of these can be made specifically to fit your teeth to correct your particular condition. Each one is manufactured with a slightly different orientation that can gradually move your teeth to the desired location. They can be removed before eating, drinking, brushing and flossing but must be worn for at least 22 hours per day.

Our greatest reward is seeing a patient arrive with a dental problem that is causing them to be unhappy and leaving us with a beaming and confident smile.
