Why opt for orthodontics in Colchester?

Here at The Dental Studio, we work hard to ensure that our patients enjoy great oral health and have a smile they are happy with, using a multitude of options to help achieve that. Many people do not have straight teeth, and it can have a serious impact on how they feel about their appearance. This can spill over into many areas of their life, reducing its quality and preventing a person from fulfilling their potential. Orthodontics in Colchester can help to change all that.

Improving confidence and self-esteem are two of the main reasons that people consider orthodontics in Colchester. They want to be able to talk to others without feeling that they have to cover their mouth and smile without feeling self-conscious.

Having your teeth straightened can be life-changing in these respects. Many people who opt for orthodontics in Colchester find they have a new lust for life after treatment is completed. They are happy to socialise and enjoy becoming more approachable and confident at work. They finally have the smile they have always wanted and start to enjoy meeting new people and even find it easier to meet a romantic partner.

Better oral health

Teeth that are overcrowded, crooked or protruding are usually harder to keep clean. This means that the patient is much more likely to encounter issues such as decay, cavities, bad breath and even gum disease. Having the teeth moved into a more uniform position allows for much better oral hygiene and improved oral health as a result of that.

People who have good oral health have a much greater chance of enjoying good general health. They are less vulnerable to cardiovascular and respiratory issues, as well as a whole host of other conditions that can affect the quality and longevity of a person’s life.

Traditional braces

Traditional braces can be used to correct virtually any issue when it comes to the position of the teeth. Once the preserve of teenagers, this form of orthodontic treatment is now adopted by many adults who want to get a better smile. It is now relatively commonplace for an adult to wear braces, and there is no longer any kind of stigma attached to someone having this kind of treatment in later years.

These braces involve having metal wires fixed to the front of the teeth and held in place with brackets. They are typically worn for a year or two until the teeth have moved into the best possible position. Although the treatment can take longer than some other types of braces, the results are usually well worth waiting for.

Invisible braces

Invisible braces are often chosen by people who want to keep their orthodontic treatment to themselves. They look a bit like two retainers and are worn over the teeth for a couple of weeks at a time before being changed for a new set. Treatment with clear braces is usually much faster than with other types of braces, often taking just a few months. They also have the added benefit of being removable.
