Orthodontics is a specialist form of dentistry which aims to straighten teeth and align jaws to produce a healthier bite and a perfect smile. In the past, most orthodontic patients were children, but now we see more adults searching for the perfect smile.
Crooked teeth often do not fit together correctly, are harder to keep clean and have increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. In some cases, these functional problems can lead to headaches and jaw pain. Correctly aligned teeth help with the functions of eating and chewing, are easier to clean and can boost-self confidence and self-esteem.
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for adults of any age! With more people actively looking to keep their appearance youthful - an attractive, healthy smile can help with this. First impressions matter and a bright friendly smile builds self-confidence and helps make the most of your life both at work and socially.
Orthodontic treatment is available to everyone and many adults now require this treatment to not only improve the function of their teeth, but also their appearance. It’s no surprise that a perfect smile helps you feel great about yourself.
Depending on your needs, and your budget, you may like to consider invisible aligners, or tooth coloured braces so that you can straighten your teeth discreetly. We will assess your particular problem, and requirements, and prepare a treatment plan especially for you using the most appropriate system to suit your needs.
There are Orthodontic treatments such as clear aligners, specifically designed for teenagers (aged 16+) who may want their teeth straightening to take place as discretely as possible.
For example, Six Month Smiles is a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without the restrictions that come with metal braces. Rather than wires and brackets, Six Month Smiles offers an option of using a series of clear, removable aligners that have been custom-made for your teen's teeth.
A desire for straighter teeth is often driven by a special occasion, event or life-changing circumstances (like getting married)!
With the added attraction that many adult orthodontic solutions can work fast and predictably, planning a new smile in time for your big day is an option that many of our patients have benefited from.
Dental injuries are considered an emergency in dentistry, and we take referrals when an accident has damaged your teeth. At HRS Dental Care we have a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge to ensure that an injury doesn’t have to have a long-term effect on your dental health and wellbeing.
"I'm so glad that I was able to get my braces treatment finished so quickly. Six month smiles is like something from sci fi it works so fast and so good."
"The treatment was completely painless. I can’t stop smiling to show it off 😁. I had the Ice brace system for 8 months, although I was nervous, everything went really well. I then had a course of tooth whitening, which worked fantastically. Then the final treatment was to have 4 front crowns, which are so natural looking, along with some fillings and reshaping of the back teeth. I am extremely happy with the final result, it has given me a massive confidence boost 😁"
“The work that was carried out was quite amazing and the end result is excellent”
