Orthodontics
Orthodontics in Essex
Orthodontics is a specialised area of dentistry that involves the treatment of dental and facial irregularities. It is the science of assessing, diagnosing and treating crooked teeth, jaw discrepancies, facial profile and form. Our Essex based Orthodontists are dentists who have undertaken many years additional training in this specialist area.
How Orthodontic treatment can help you?
- Are your teeth crooked?
- Do you have gaps between your teeth?
- Are your teeth crowded?
- Do you have protruding teeth?
- Do you have a deep overbite (front upper teeth overlap lower teeth too much vertically) or an open bite.
- Do you have difficulty chewing food?
As part of other cosmetic dental treatment to help achieve optimum results e.g. before having a smile makeover or veneers.
If you are reluctant to smile, and hide your teeth, it is time to consider orthodontic correction.
Am I too old?
NO! The correction of an orthodontic problem can be undertaken at any age. Adult orthodontic treatment is growing rapidly. It is generally recommended that children should be brought in for their first evaluation at ages 7 to 9 years.
How can Orthodontics (Braces) help you?
The main aim of orthodontic treatment is to straighten misaligned teeth. This will improve your appearance, confidence and self esteem. Not only will your teeth look great but also will be healthier!

What is an Orthodontist?

Types of braces
1. Metal braces
Metal braces are very popular, made of high grade stainless steel. Metal braces are small, comfortable, and work very well.
2. Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) high quality ceramic material. If you do not wish for metal braces because of their appearance then ceramic braces are for you as they are cosmetically much better.
3. ‘Clearstep’ braces
Our cosmetic dentist is fully trained and registered to treat you with clear braces ‘Clearstep’ to correct your teeth. Clearstep is an invisible brace that has many advantages.
4. Damon braces
Very efficient at moving teeth. Conventional braces are tied in with elastics, making treatment slower and less comfortable. Damon braces use a slide mechanism to hold the wire. This allows teeth to move more easily, quickly and comfortably. Damon braces are discreet, more comfortable and easier to keep clean. Damon braces also make dental hygiene easier during orthodontic treatment.
5. Inman Aligner
The Inman aligner is a great removable clear brace that can correct mildly crowded front teeth very quickly. It is particularly good at correcting crowded or spaced front four upper and lower teeth. It is well known for its efficiency and can be combined with other orthodontic braces. Our cosmetic dentist is an experienced registered Inman aligner practitioner.
