We use the latest technology with modern bracket systems such as DamonQ and Fastbraces and digital scanning for invisible aligners. Try our e consult here to find out what might be possible for you. Or come and meet the dentist for a consultation to discuss your options further.

Whilst the aesthetic advantages are obvious, there is also a health benefit too. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and avoid ‘bad’ bacteria around crooked teeth which affect general health, gingivitis and cavities. Have a look at some before and after images here.

Combination treatments are available where you may wish to minimise the length of treatment. We combine teeth straightening with cosmetic bonding or ceramic veneers to transform smiles. As the same dentist provides both treatments, we can find the ideal solution for you.

Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners can help straighten minor to complex teeth misalignment. Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to straighten teeth.

How long does it take?

The length of treatment can take on average 6 months, but this will be decided by the dentist depending on how complicated your case is. Most people feel a difference wearing Invisalign aligners after three months, and results are usually noticeable after six months.

How does the Invisalign process work?

Clear-aligner treatment involves your dentist taking a mould of your teeth, which is used to create a digital tooth scan. With this computerised model your dentist will decide a treatment plan to move your teeth from their current position to the position they need to be in to achieve your desired smile.  

Why choose Wickham Dental Practice for Invisalign?

It is important to us, here at Wickham Dental Practice, to spend time initially understanding your concerns and desired outcome for your smile. With this clear understanding and the computerised model your dentist will prescribe aligners which are then created for each stage. Each aligner is worn for 22 hours a day for one or two weeks at a time. These slowly move the teeth into the position agreed between you and your dentist.

How do I get my perfect smile?

For some patients straight teeth alone might not achieve their desired smile as the teeth may be worn down, misshapen or discoloured.  At Wickham Dental Practice we also treat these other concerns, which can involve whitening to brighten your smile and composite bonding to build-up the tooth/teeth as necessary or sometimes just some minor adjustment to the shape of your tooth/teeth through dental contouring.

How do I get started?

If you would like to learn more on this and see if Invisalign would work for you, please book a consultation at the practice and we would be delighted to take you on this smile journey.

Fastbraces

For nearly 25 years, the American based Fastbraces have been making people’s teeth straighter and safer. Now in the UK! Teeth which grow in awkward positions can lead to gum disease as you grow older. With this type of brace, treatment is usually over within 120 days. In around 4 months, you can go from crooked teeth to a perfect smile. This benefits those who may want to get their smile ready for a big day, such as a wedding or photoshoot, whilst also offering all of the benefits for the rest of their lives too.

Fast and affordable

Damon

Damon

Damon is another great option for teeth straightening which avoids any tooth extraction. The low friction system allows complex treatment to be completed in record time with precise results.

Soft on the teeth and tissues, these are a good idea for those who are worried about pain with braces.

Teens

We provide fixed & clear braces to align teeth and correct bites. The Fast & affordable Fastbraces work well on teens, reducing the time in braces and the visits for parents!

We provide a free consult or phone call to answer your questions. A thorough examination is then carried out using digital technology & digital radiographs prior to treatment.

Payments are made monthly £250- £500 depending on complexity of the correction.

Orthodontics has many benefits:

  • Increased self-confidence that an attractive smile provides
  • Facilitates oral hygiene with less trapping of food particles, hence reducing tooth decay.
  • Improves functionality in terms of an even bite and even forces on chewing. Uneven forces can increase visible wear on teeth and cause excessive strain on the supporting gums and bone tissues. It can contribute to jaw joint (TMJ)issues and headaches.
  • Long term health of teeth & gums: teeth straightening may improve oral hygiene habits and homecare.
  • Reduce the likelihood of damage or injury to prominent teeth
