Orthodontics FAQ
When will a dentist recommend orthodontics?
There are many reasons that a dentist may recommend orthodontic treatment. These may include aiding the top and bottom teeth alignment. This is known as correcting your bite. Secondly, as prevention of significant damage to prominent teeth. Lastly, to help straighten your teeth following dental overcrowding.
What is the current waiting time for orthodontic treatment?
Waiting times for orthodontal treatment on the NHS varies with normal expected times reaching 2 years. However in light of the Coronavirus pandemic the waiting lists are now significantly longer.
Is there an age limit for braces?
Simply put, no. It is a common misconception that braces should be fitted at a young age. Whilst the use of braces in adolecence does provide it’s benefits, there is no age limit when it comes to orthadontics.
What are invisible braces?
Invisible braces are plastic-formed dental tools. Used to straighten and adjust your teeth whilst remaining discreet.
Invisalign braces are clear aligners that are custom made and specially designed to fit perfectly around your teeth. This means you can pop out your aligner before you eat, drink, or play sports. Then after brushing your teeth, you can simply click your Invisalign aligner back into place.
