Did you know that millions of Britons are unhappy with the position and appearance of their teeth? As we get older, these problem get worse too.

Being unhappy with the way your teeth look often leads to a feeling of being self-conscious when you’re speaking, smiling, or eating. If these feelings go on for long enough, it can result in low self-esteem.

Orthodontics is a special type of dentistry. It’s the science of making people’s smiles look amazing again. And it’s a brilliant job for any dentist. Our teams here at Didcot and Oxford get genuine personal and professional satisfaction from seeing our clients’ lives being transformed.

It’s not just your appearance though. Sorting out your teeth makes them easier to clean and there’s nowhere for food and plaque to get trapped either. It improves your speech, stops gum disease, makes eating a pleasure again, and it even reduces incidents of headaches.

Read more below on what exactly orthodontics and teeth straightening is, how an orthodontist works with you, and the five best treatments available from our Didcot and Oxford practices.

How do we straighten patients’ teeth?

Our orthodontists offer patients at both our Didcot and Oxford practices five of the best and different approaches to straightening and correcting their teeth so that they no longer need to hide their smile.

There are dozens of teeth straightening solutions provided around the world by orthodontics research companies. Our orthodontists have chosen to train for and specialise in five unique approaches so that our patients can choose the one which suits their lives and their needs the best.

It’s understandable but many adult patients are put off by the idea of orthodontic teeth straightening because they’re worried about the effect traditional braces will have on their appearance. When selecting our final five products, each orthodontist involved in the decision made sure that every solution we offered to our patients would be “invisible”.

Our orthodontists decided on the following five teeth straightening treatments for our Didcot and Oxford practices:

Invisalign braces

The Smile Practice is Oxfordshire’s biggest provider of the Invisalign orthodontic brace system. Invisalign is probably the most popular teeth straightening product in the world at the moment.

It’s a clear brace that’s custom-made for your mouth which covers all of your teeth. Over time, the braces gently guide your teeth into the position you agree with your orthodontists at your consultation meeting.

Six Month Smiles

For patients looking for quick and effective results, ask your Didcot or Oxford orthodontist about Six Month Smiles. Six Month Smiles borrows from the tried and tested wire technology but they offer real discretion through the use of comfortable-fitting clear brackets and wires which are the same colour as your teeth.

Inman Aligner

The Inman Aligner is used to straighten overcrowded or protruding front teeth gently but quickly. It can be used either as a standalone treatment or to pre-align teeth for future cosmetic treatment like whitening or veneers.

The Aligner is also removeable, meaning you can take it out to fit with your lifestyle if necessary. The Inman system is minimally-invasive, extremely safe and kind to your teeth.

Lingual Braces

Lingual Braces offers patients a supremely efficient teeth straightening service offering speed, comfort, and discretion. Lingual Braces are virtually undetectable when you’re wearing them because your orthodontist actually fits the wires behind your teeth, not in front.

Quick Straight Teeth

With an average treatment time of up to just 24 weeks, the Quick Straight Teeth orthodontics system offers many advantages for patients only interested in improving the appearance and positioning of their front teeth. The brackets and the wires used by Quick Straight Teeth are coloured to the hue of your particular teeth, rendering them virtually invisible to the outside world.

Reviews

“I am so happy with my smile after having the Invisalign braces under Ajay’s supervision. He was excellent in providing care and guidance so that treatment would progress as fast as possible.

I was especially happy in the beginning when I didn’t have to chew into the typical gluey mould to take an imprint of my teeth. Ajay used a camera wand to take pictures of my teeth which is more accurate and comfortable than the mould would have been. My treatment progressed more quickly than I’d imagined and I was very happy to see improvements in my teeth every week.

In the final month I was already happy with the result and thought even if my teeth end up like this it would be great. I am now on my final retainer and can’t wait to have the bits on my teeth removed and have them whitened!

I think it will be amazing as already my smile looks so much better due to shift in tooth position. Highly recommend Invisalign treatment at the Smile Practice!”
