Orthodontic treatment helps to straighten crooked teeth and realign uneven ‘bites’ with specially made appliances. Modern braces are much more advanced than they once and now offer swifter, more discreet straightening methods.
Treatment can take 6-18 months, depending on your case, and you will require regular adjustments during the straightening process. You will also need to make sure you brush your teeth thoroughly and keep your brace clean. Following treatment, you should wear a retainer to stop teeth moving out of line.
As well as improving your smile and making it easier to chew, straighter teeth are also easier to keep clean. Crooked teeth can have narrow gaps, which can harbour food debris and plaque.
