Orthodontist Thornton Heath

Orthodontics in Thornton Heath

Orthodontics presents a productive, long-lasting strategy for aligning your teeth and rectifying your bite. This specialty field within dentistry emphasises the alignment and straightening of teeth through the utilisation of wires and brackets, exerting pressure on the teeth to shift them to a straighter position. This area of expertise has developed significantly over the years, and present-day treatments are much quicker and more pleasant than previous methods.

Individuals experiencing issues with their dental alignment or how their upper and lower teeth meet should think about undergoing orthodontic procedures. Such treatment requires the patient’s commitment to maintain excellent oral hygiene and frequent consultations with fine-tuning at the dental clinic. The duration of the treatment, which guarantees a positive outcome, varies from a few months to a year, depending on the severity of the teeth misalignment. With the application of a fixed permanent retainer, you can have confidence that your teeth will remain in place once the treatment concludes.

The main advantage of undergoing orthodontic procedures is that well-aligned teeth contribute to better oral health. When your teeth are straight and your bite is correctly aligned, there are fewer crevices and spaces where food particles can hide and plaque can accumulate, which leads to tooth decay. Therefore, orthodontics can be viewed as a long-term commitment to maintaining your dental health.

Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment

 

Enhanced Oral Health

A dentist can greatly enhance your overall health and oral cleanliness. Food which remains stuck in improperly aligned teeth can result in plaque accumulation, which in turn can cause tooth decay and gum disease. If your teeth are crowded or incorrectly positioned in your mouth, there is a greater risk of tooth and jawbone loss.

Teeth Protection

Problems concerning your child’s teeth alignment and jaw expansion could start becoming apparent from a very young age. If addressed promptly, this can prevent incorrect growth of the upper and lower jaw, facilitating a smoother appearance of many permanent teeth. If the problem is ignored, there is a potential danger of malnutrition.

Self-Confidence Boost

You may feel self-conscious about your smile, not feeling confident to smile or laugh in public. You may hide your smile, even refusing to reveal it in photographs. Our expert team are here to make you smile proudly again. Starting the treatment early minimises the need for more invasive procedures. Braces serve as the primary orthodontic remedy for bettering oral health. Orthodontics can offer benefits beyond merely refining your smile.

Orthodontists are primarily dentists that specialise in correcting and maintaining healthy oral and dental function. Orthodontists are trained in identifying and treating periodontal disease and misaligned teeth.

Orthodontists do the following:

  • Supervise facial growth (jawline and bite) in children
  • Diagnose and treat misaligned teeth and jaws (malocclusion)
  • Create a treatment plan that includes braces and retainers
  • Perform teeth straightening surgery
  • Install dental appliances, such as braces, palatal expanders, orthodontic headgear, or Herbst appliances

The world of orthodontics has advanced greatly since you were a child. We have several discreet and convenient treatment options available for you. For instance, you might be interested in clear braces, which are hidden out of view.

The best time to start treatment is in the early, formative years. However, with modern technology and advancements in orthodontics, you can undergo treatment even after you have become an adult.

Wendy D.

Dr Xavier is the best orthodontist I have ever come across in London. From children to adults, he has incredible success. Myself and my wife had treatment with him and our smiles are banging! He used invisalign on us. It was so easy!

Had a tooth out which is never fun, but he was great, never even needed pain killers afterwards

Vince A.

Everyone at Dulwich Dental office is lovely, from the friendly and welcoming reception staff, right to dentist and hygienist. They do a great job, and have always made me feel comfortable, while helping me keep my teeth in good shape. I recently tried the Airflow treatment during hygienist visit and wow, totally worth it! Thanks, dental team!

Great service! Im usually so nervous when coming in to the dentist but my dentist was so pleasant and polite ! Dulwich Dental Office will definitely be my dentist for life

Tomike O.

I lost my two front teeth whilst at school and had complications for years. Unfortunately I ended up needing an implant – which I had been avoiding! I wish I had done it sooner. Dr Patel was fantastic and guided me through each stage. He was always contactable to answer any queries or concerns. Very happy with the end result and would reccomend.

Tom O.

Fantastic specialist treatment – I was heading towards eventual tooth loss, Aaron the hygienist helped me with a treatment plan and my teeth bones have regrown by 2mm and I no longer have bleeding, a remarkable turnaround in 6 months! Thank you so much. Lovely reception staff too. Thanks!

Registered and seen on the NHS within 2 weeks – amazing. Really friendly staff, would definitely recommend

Tom C.

Just seen Dr.Ho for some severe molar sensitivity i was having . I wasn’t managing to drink or eat anything very hot or cold. He did a thorough assessment like always and undertook a T scan and adjustments to bite and within half an hour my sensitivity was essentially gone!! Great service like always

Lovely staff on front desk, always welcoming and friendly, dentists are also amazing and professional- 10/10 experience every time!

A great surgery; Dr Cavan in particular spent time with me to make sure my new night guards fitted well and were up to the job
