What do we mean by Orthodontics in Colchester? 
Orthodontics is the term given to the area of dentistry which focuses on the correction of teeth that have been misaligned or mispositioned. The benefits of having orthodontic treatment, if there are dental issues identified, is that not only are your teeth straightened, but it also prevents long-lasting damage to your teeth if they are left untreated.
Orthodontic treatments at The Dental Studio
The Dental Studio in Colchester offers various orthodontic treatments for those who are looking to straighten their teeth. The type of treatment we recommend will be based on how complex the dental issue is. One of the most well-known types of orthodontic treatments that we can provide our patients when they visit our practice is traditional metal braces.
Using a metal wire and brackets, traditional metal braces can be used to treat dental imperfections such as overbites, crooked or crowded teeth, deep bites and teeth that stick out to name a few. Used by both children and adults, traditional metal braces are a very effective way of straightening teeth.
Another treatment option available which straightens teeth is called Six Month Smiles. Like traditional metal braces, this treatment uses modern orthodontic technology to correct teeth by moving them safely into their desired position. One of the advantages of this procedure is that the average treatment time is six months, meaning you achieve quicker results when compared to traditional metal braces. Because of this, Six Months Smiles is becoming a more and more popular treatment for our adult patients. It is also a cheaper option, and the use of nickel-titanium wires means that they are barely visible when attached to your teeth.
If you are interested in having braces but would rather, they do not show at all, another option we have at The Dental Studio are CFast cosmetic braces.

CFast cosmetic braces are essentially lingual braces, which are fixed to the back of your teeth using metal brackets. This makes it an ideal option for those who want to undergo orthodontic treatment but do not want it to be visible to others.
The braces are customised to suit your individual needs and the average time of this treatment is five months, making it an efficient and effective teeth straightening system. If you are unsure of what treatment to have, why not book a free consultation at our practice where we will be able to advise on the most suitable orthodontic treatment for your dental issues.
It is important to note that prior to starting any orthodontic treatment you will have a new patient assessment with us to ensure you have the most suitable treatment plan. This assessment will consist of a dental examination and orthodontic assessment, and x rays, moulds and photographs will also be taken.
