Modifying your smile through orthodontic treatment is now easier and faster than ever before. At Hampshire Dental Care, our team of specialists can provide a range of braces for children, teenagers and adults in the Basingstoke area.
As a specialist orthodontic practice, we aim to provide treatment that achieves both functional and aesthetic results. All treatment at Hampshire Dental Care is carried out using fixed braces which can be made from either, traditional metal brackets, or, more aesthetic tooth-colored brackets.
What Are Fixed Braces?
The primary component of fixed braces is the bracket which is bonded to the tooth. The bracket is connected to the other brackets on the same tooth via a wire, which is then connected to the brackets on surrounding teeth. By applying a continual and controlled force on the teeth, the wire can move teeth into the desired position.
Through the use of fixed braces, teeth that are crowded,rotated, and/or in the wrong position, can be moved to improve a variety of bite problems.
Your Provider of Orthodontic Care in Basingstoke
There are many factors that determine the type of braces best suited to a patient. During your initial consultation your orthodontic care provider will be able to discuss the treatment in further detail and answer any questions you may have.
What to Expect From Braces
After an initial consultation to decide the best course of treatment, a series of x-rays, scans and photographs are taken to assess your bite, jaw and the alignment of your teeth.
A custom treatment plan is created to give you an idea of the braces you will need, the expected length of your treatment, costs and what you will need to do during your plan to ensure the best results.
Treatment will vary depending on the complexity of your needs, but there are generally two aspects to treatment. The first involves the frequent adjustment of your braces by your orthodontist and the second is ensuring that your teeth and braces are clean.
The final step of treatment is removing your braces, but your orthodontist will fit you with a retainer to help maintain the position of your teeth.
Orthodontic Treatment for All
It is a common misconception that only teenagers get braces. While there is an increase in the number of teenagers getting braces, children and adults can get braces if it is necessary to improve their dental health.
For adults, ceramic braces are available as an alternative to traditional metal braces. For children and teenagers, a visit to the orthodontist will help determine the best time to implement treatment.
