Orthodontics Services at Surrey Dental Practice
Every smile is unique, so your treatment plan is individually designed around your needs, lifestyle and goals. From your first consultation, we’ll explain your options clearly, show you what results you can expect, and guide you through every step of the process. Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face, is in high demand.
Nearly one million people in the UK started having orthodontics last year and more adults than ever before require treatment. Why? Orthodontic treatment is about making the best of your teeth; it’s about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws.
Once you can bite together correctly, you can eat more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily and your smile will benefit immensely!
The treatment process begins with a comprehensive visual examination of the patient’s smile. We offer Invisalign and Angel Aligners for patients with simple to moderate crowding problems. A typical treatment lasts six to eighteen months, depending on how much work is required and the severity of the problem. For patients with severe cases of malocclusion, we will advise the patient to see a specialist orthodontist.
Orthodontics Treatment Can Provide
- Straight teeth which are easy to clean.
- An improved bite.
- Ease with eating and speaking.
- A beautiful smile.
These are some of the most common reasons for orthodontic treatment
- Protruding upper front teeth – one of the most common dental problems.
- Crowding – a narrow jaw may mean there is not enough room for your teeth, resulting in crowding. Conversely, some patients have significant gaps between their teeth.
- Asymmetry – particularly when the centre lines of the upper and lower front teeth do not match, perhaps because the teeth have drifted or the position of the jaw has shifted.
- A deep bite – when your upper teeth cover the lower teeth too much.
- A reverse bite – when your upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth.
- An open bite – when your front teeth remain apart when your back teeth meet; the tongue is often still visible between the upper and lower front teeth.
- Impacted teeth – in some patients, secondary teeth come through in the wrong position or do not erupt at all. Orthodontic treatment can help bring these teeth into the correct position.
Your First Appointment
Treatment begins with a thorough visual and digital assessment of your teeth and bite. Using our state-of-the-art iTero Scanner, we capture a precise 3D image of your mouth; no messy impressions required. This high-end scanner also allows us to generate an instant before-and-after simulation. This allows us to develop an accurate, personalised plan and to show you a preview of how your smile could look after treatment.
We currently offer Invisalign® and Angel Aligners for patients with mild to moderate crowding or spacing issues. Both Invisalign® and Angel Aligners are among the most widely used clear-aligner systems worldwide, and each has an excellent track record for efficiency and predictable results.
For very complex cases, we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist orthodontist to ensure you receive the highest standard of care.
