Everyone would like a beautiful straight smile, however, misalignment issues affect the majority of the population here in the UK to a certain extent. Most people shy away from the idea of having braces to straighten their teeth in adulthood. However, the good news is that thanks to much research and development in the field of orthodontics, teeth straightening is now easier, more convenient, more comfortable and most importantly, more discreet than ever before. You can tailor your choice of braces to your individual requirements and your personal preferences.

Speak to us today and book an appointment to visit us in person soon.

When you come to see us, our dentist in Ipswich will identify any problems that are affecting the health of your teeth and recommend restorative dental treatment where necessary. This is important if you suffer from any form of tooth decay or gum disease. These issues will be addressed first to make sure that it is safe to undergo potential orthodontic treatment and to ensure that you will be able to achieve wonderful results. Once any restorative dental treatment is completed we will pinpoint what can be done to enhance the appearance of your smile. This will help us decide which types of braces are most suitable for you. If you have a significant orthodontic condition you may require fixed braces, whereas if you have mild or moderate issues affecting the alignment of your teeth, then you may have removable braces or aligners which will help correct the aesthetic anomalies of your teeth.

We will take X-rays and digital intraoral scans of your mouth to put together a computer generated image of your teeth, which will help us see how orthodontic treatment can improve the appearance of your smile. Once we agree on the correct choice of treatment for you, you are ready to begin teeth straightening under the expert guidance and assistance of our dentist in Ipswich. We look forward to helping you achieve a happy healthy smile very soon.
