Comprehensive Orthodontics

Here at Lyndarum Family Dentist, our team uses modern and advanced dental braces to correct many dental problems and improve the aesthetics of a smile. So while we’re not specialists or orthodontists, our experience means that we have the skills to manage a wide range of oral health problems, so you won’t need to pay orthodontist prices. These include issues such as:

Tooth overcrowding
Overbites and underbites
Misaligned jaw (an uneven bite)
Open bites
Unmatched dental midlines
Chewing and speech problems
Misaligned teeth (periodontal issues)

Whether you opt for invisible Invisalign aligners designed to be discreet discreetness or modern ‘bracket and wire style’ braces, we ensure that whatever your tooth alignment problems, we work with you to choose an orthodontic treatment that suits your needs and requirements with our Epping-based dentist team.

Here’s how the treatment for orthodontics works…

Stage 1 – Initial consultation

The process for anyone seeking out orthodontic treatment will always start with a consultation. During this appointment, our experienced Dental team will explain the process to you. We’ll also take x-rays where applicable, photographs, and impressions. This helps us to plan the most suitable course of action.

Stage 2 – Second consultation

During this second consultation, our dentists will produce a comprehensive orthodontic treatment plan complete with treatment duration and the braces cost. We’ll also discuss other information such as braces care and the need to wear a retainer following treatment.

Stage 3 – The fitting

Fitting aligners is straightforward and our dental team will simply put the first one in place leaving you to remove and replace them as instructed. On the contrary, anyone receiving conventional bracket and wire style braces will first need to have a thorough oral cleaning. Next, our dentist will attach the brackets to your teeth using a non-toxic glue. Finally, the wires are threaded through the brackets and gently tightened to start the process.

Step 4 – Wearing your braces

During your orthodontic process, you will need to return periodically to our dental practice for regular adjustments and/or for a progress inspection. The number of visits involved depends on how long your corrective treatment takes.

Step 5 – Braces removal and retainers

At the end of your treatment, and once your braces have been removed, our dental team will prepare a mould for your new retainer. Usually, this is worn continually for the first 1-2 years after treatment and then just worn at night. This prevents your teeth from drifting back to their original position.
