Teeth Straightening

There are simple things you can do to make your treatment even safer in the long term, however.

One major action you can take is to make sure you brush regularly between meals, to ensure no food becomes stuck between your braces, and that any excess plaque is removed.

Orthodontic hardware is perfectly safe, but it can make it easy for bacteria to breed in your mouth, so keeping your mouth extra clean will stop any initial signs of decay.

We can also offer professional cleaning to make sure your orthodontics are perfectly clean and safe, but also to give you the confidence to keep smiling, even throughout your treatment.

When you first have your teeth straightening orthodontics installed, you may experience some discomfort.

This is normal — remember, you are moving your teeth’s position inside your mouth! Your jaw, gums and teeth will soon adjust to the pressure, though, and you will find that it won’t take long at all for you to become used to the sensation.

Often, over time, our clients tell us they forget they are even there.
