Understanding the need for braces

We know that living with crooked, protruding, or misaligned teeth is often an uncomfortable way to exist. Yet, there remains a large number of adults living in the United Kingdom who could derive a lot of benefit from orthodontic treatment.

If you are someone who is living with misaligned teeth then you will be very well aware of the difficulties that this condition can present when it comes to your oral health and hygiene. You may find that you suffer from a high number of common oral issues, such as plaque build-up, tooth decay, or gum disease, due to your teeth being difficult to negotiate with a toothbrush.

You may have been offered tooth alignment treatment in your early teen years, but decided not to engage with it for your own personal reasons. Later in life, you may have started to regret your decision not to engage with treatment and concluded that the time for you to receive the treatment you need has passed you by, but this may not be the case.

At Old Windsor, we can help our patients to gain the perfectly aligned teeth that they desire by using modern braces Windsor to achieve the results they are looking for. Allowing them to achieve a higher standard of oral hygiene, as well as a greater level of oral comfort.

A treatment that is suitable for adults

By using modern braces Windsor, we can offer our patients a discreet treatment that will be difficult for others to see when worn in place in the mouth. In the past, the main barrier to people engaging with orthodontic treatment was the way the metal and wire braces looked when in the mouth; this is an issue that has now been addressed with the development of modern aligners.

If you consider an aligner like Invisalign you will quickly understand how this device has the ability to appear invisible when in the mouth, as it is made from two layers of clear plastic and fits over the teeth rather than around them. This means you can wear your aligner and feel confident that others surrounding you will not know you are receiving tooth straightening treatment, as they should not be able to see your aligner even when looking at you, face on.

Reaping the benefits of treatment

Once you have undergone treatment you should reap all the ensuing benefits as your teeth will be in perfect alignment. You will find that your teeth are simple to navigate with a toothbrush, making them much easier to keep clean and this should lead to you enjoying higher standards in your oral health and hygiene.

Final thoughts

Should you decide to go ahead with alignment treatment using braces Windsor you will need to attend a consultation at our practice, as we will need to examine your teeth and assess your needs. We will talk you through the different options that may be available to you and help you make the best choice that suits your requirements.

You must understand that treatment may be a big commitment, as it can last between twelve to eighteen months.
