Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are appliances that sit on the outside of your teeth. They stay on your teeth throughout treatment and can not be removed. As they can not be removed, modifications have to be made to your diet to avoid breakages and damage to your teeth and gums. As they sit on the front of your teeth they are noticeable when you smile. The fixed braces can be made from different materials with differing properties. The main fixed braces I recommend are metal or ceramic. Metal braces are more noticeable than ceramic. The ceramic braces blend in better with your tooth colour. Fixed braces also use wires to move teeth.
Retainers
It is important to hold your teeth in the corrected positions after your appliances come off. This is done by wearing retainers. Retainers do not change the position of your teeth but rather hold them in their corrected positions. There are many types of retainers and we carefully assess each patient before we recommend a retention plan. However, the two main types of retainer we like are removable clear retainers and fixed bonded retainers. For further information on Retainers and Orthodontic treatment in general I recommend the British Orthodontic Society website.
Lingual
Lingual appliances are the most discreet braces I offer. These are custom made fixed braces which sit on the inside of your teeth. Thus, when you smile it is unlikely for others to see the appliances. As these braces are the most aesthetic, they are a popular choice among adult patients. I start the process of providing you with lingual appliances by taking a 3D scan of your teeth. This replaces the messy impression taking of the past.
Invisalign is a unique, innovative treatment that offers you the same results as metal braces but with more comfort and convenience. Discover the new you, unlock your confidence and increase your self esteem with Invisalign. Treatment consists of a series of custom-made nearly invisible, removable aligners. Each aligner places a small amount of pressure on different teeth, so over time they straighten into the final position prescribed by your dentist.
Testimonials
“My son has recently finished his treatment here and I can’t rate the service we received highly enough. From the initial appointment to finish everyone was brilliant! Dev was excellent at discussing the treatment options and gave us time to consider them. Each appointment was on time and there was a clear explanation of the plan and progress being made. I like the fact that you receive text reminders of appointments, and you can use that text number to message any queries/questions. Thank you to everyone!”
“I had orthodontic treatment here for approximately 18 months to correct relapse from previous treatment as a teenager. Would highly recommend. I had been quoted cheaper elsewhere but you get what you pay for. Dev, Carol and Georgie were all exceptionally professional and friendly and Dev was very honest and realistic about what could be achieved. I am so pleased with the results. Good aftercare and follow up included in price.”
“I started my braces treatment last year, after stupidly not continuing to wear my retainer after I had my braces off at 17! I was really self-conscious about my smile due to my teeth but thanks to Dev and the team I am SO happy with my teeth. They were accommodating, kind and friendly. I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Our teenage son had braces fitted by Dev. The service we received was absolutely brilliant. Dev explained the whole process to us beforehand making sure that all of us were comfortable and knew what to expect. They were always happy to answer questions or see us at short notice if ever there was an issue. After little over a year, our son has just had his braces removed and his teeth look amazing, they really have been transformed. We can't recommend One Devonshire Place highly enough.”
