Understanding how orthodontics in Colchester is key to a healthy smile
Get your smile together
Having straight and healthy teeth is one of the most important things for anyone who wants to preserve their oral health and keep their smile in the best shape possible.
Many people think that all orthodontics in Colchester here at The Dental Studio achieves is a more attractive-looking smile. While this is definitely one of the main advantages of a straight and healthy smile, there are also numerous other health reasons for seeking out orthodontic help from a professional. 
Why seek out orthodontics in Colchester?
The leading cause of adult tooth loss – after accidents – is periodontal disease (or gum disease). This happens when plaque and bacteria form between the teeth and then spread to their gums, causing an infection. Those who have straight teeth are at a far lower risk of developing gum disease as there are fewer gaps and spaces for plaque to form.
Another health benefit of seeking out orthodontics in Colchester is that your breath will be fresher. Bad breath is one of the most common side effects of having plaque or decay somewhere within your mouth and is particularly common in those who have disjointed or badly shaped teeth as they often have difficulty reaching pockets between teeth where food particles and bacteria can develop into plaque and cause bad breath.
Luckily here at The Dental Studio, our highly trained dentists can help anyone who needs it to overcome these implications and attain a healthier, straighter smile through a wide variety of treatment methods.
What type of orthodontics are there?
Although the field of orthodontics has excelled massively over the last few decades, many out there still believe their only option is to get traditional, fixed metal braces.
While these sorts of braces are still popular and regularly installed by our dentists, they are not the only option. We also offer cosmetic braces which aim to align a patient’s smile through a means which leaves little to no impact on appearance.
These sorts of treatments – such as Invisalign or Cfast Cosmetic Braces – are widely sought out by teenagers and young adults because they give the perfect opportunity to make a lasting, positive change to their orthodontic health – without drawing attention to themselves from colleagues or peers.
What are Cfast Cosmetic Braces?
Cfast Cosmetic Braces aim to give patients the ability to discreetly realign their smile, by being completely obscured from vision through the entire alignment process.
These sorts of braces work in a similar way as traditional braces – in that they involve fixing ceramic brackets to every individual tooth and connecting them with a tension wire.
The fundamental difference between Cfast braces and traditional ones however is that Cfast braces are attached to the inside of a patient’s teeth. This means that when a patient smiles, their braces are entirely invisible from the front. Given the nature of Cfast braces, each insulation is an entirely unique process that is tailored to fit the patients receiving it.
If you’d like to find out whether or not these revolutionary cosmetic braces could help discretely realign your oral future, then contact us here at The Dental Studio at your next convenience and we can arrange a consultation.
