Understanding Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatment is all about straightening and aligning your teeth. It’s done for two main reasons: appearance and oral health.

Why straighten teeth?

  • Aesthetics: Straighter teeth can boost your confidence and improve your smile.
  • Oral health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, which reduces the risk of cavities and gum disease. They can also improve your bite, reducing pressure on the jaw and preventing future problems.

Types of orthodontic treatment:

There are a few different ways to achieve a straighter smile, the most common being:

  1. Traditional braces: These metal brackets are bonded to your teeth and connected with wires that put gentle pressure on your teeth, moving them into place. Braces come in various materials like metal, ceramic, or even clear.
  2. Clear aligners: This is a newer option that uses a series of clear, removable trays to gradually move your teeth. They are nearly invisible and a popular choice for adults who want a more discreet treatment. These are more expensive, and Every Smile does not offer this option at present.

If you’re thinking about orthodontics, a consultation with one of our dentists is a great first step. They can assess your individual situation, recommend the best course of treatment, and answer any questions you may have.

Why Choose us?

Here are some good reasons why you might choose us for your orthodontic treatment:

  • Family-oriented care: We are well-equipped to handle patients of all ages, from children to adults.
  • Focus on patient comfort: We emphasise creating a relaxing and comfortable experience for their patients. This might be important to you if you have anxiety about dental visits.
  • Wide range of services: They offer a variety of orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces. This means we can discuss the best option for your individual needs.
  • Transparency in pricing: We have a commitment to honest and upfront pricing. This can be helpful for budgeting and making informed decisions about your treatment.

It’s always a good idea to compare a few different practices before making a decision but we hope we get to welcome you into one of our practices! You can call us to schedule a consultation and ask them any questions you have about the practice and our approach to orthodontics.

Affordable Orthodontic Solutions:

Orthodontic treatment can be a significant investment, but there are ways to make it more affordable. Here are some options to consider:

  • Choose a less expensive treatment option:  Traditional metal braces are generally the most affordable option, while clear aligners and lingual braces (placed behind the teeth) tend to be more expensive. Discuss the pros and cons of each option with your orthodontist to find the best fit for your budget and smile goals.
  • Dental school clinics: Dental schools often have orthodontic clinics where students perform treatments under the supervision of licensed orthodontists. These clinics can offer significant cost savings.
  • Payment plans: Many practices offer flexible payment plans that can help you spread out the cost of treatment over time. Some may also work with third-party financing companies to offer low- or no-interest financing options.
