Orthodontics
Straighten your smile with comfortable, modern orthodontic treatment at Manor Dental Practice.
If you’ve ever wished for a straighter, more confident smile, orthodontics in Weston could be the solution. At Manor Dental Practice, we offer gentle and effective teeth straightening options designed to fit comfortably into your lifestyle. Whether you’re a teenager or an adult, orthodontic treatment can improve your smile, bite, and overall oral health.
What Is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on correcting the position of teeth and jaws. It uses custom-made appliances such as braces or clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their ideal alignment. Straight teeth are not only more attractive but also easier to clean, helping to reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and uneven wear.
Modern orthodontic treatments have evolved significantly — today’s braces are smaller and more discreet, while clear aligners like Invisalign® offer a nearly invisible alternative.
Benefits and Suitability
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for both adults and children who wish to improve the alignment of their teeth or bite. Common concerns include:
- Crooked or crowded teeth.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Overbite, underbite, or crossbite.
- Jaw alignment issues.
Straightening your teeth can enhance your smile, boost self-confidence, and support better long-term oral health. Many patients find that orthodontics also improves chewing function and reduces strain on jaw muscles. At Manor Dental Practice, we’ll discuss your goals and help you choose a treatment that feels comfortable and achievable.
The Treatment Process
- Initial Consultation – Your journey begins with a detailed assessment, where we examine your teeth, gums, and bite. We’ll take photos, X-rays, or digital scans to plan your treatment precisely.
- Custom Treatment Plan – Based on your needs, we’ll recommend the most suitable appliance, whether that’s fixed braces or clear aligners.
- Fitting and Adjustments – Once your braces or aligners are ready, we’ll guide you through how to wear and care for them. Regular check-ups ensure your treatment progresses smoothly.
- Completion and Retention – After achieving your desired alignment, you’ll receive retainers to maintain your new smile.
Aftercare and Next Steps
After orthodontic treatment, maintaining your results is simple. Wearing your retainers as advised and attending regular dental check-ups will keep your smile straight and healthy. Good brushing and flossing habits are essential to prevent plaque build-up around your teeth.
