Orthodontics is the area of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws and face. It is important that your children begin their dental journey early to provide the best oral health possible.
The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to make the best of your teeth. This includes allowing you to bite correctly, eat more comfortably, and to care for your teeth and gums more easily. And your smile will benefit, too. Common conditions requiring orthodontic treatment are:
The ideal age to have orthodontic treatment is around 12 or 13, while you're still growing. The opportunity for improvement in an adult is more limited and surgery is more likely to be needed.
Treatment usually lasts from 18 months to two years, during which visits to Regent Dental Care are needed every four to six weeks.
There are many different types of braces. Some are removable, which you take out at night, to eat a meal, or clean. We offer invisalign clear aligners and hidden braces for private treatments.
Following completion of your course of treatment, you will be required to wear a retainer for a number of hours a day or at night, to ensure your teeth remain in their new position. Your Isle of Man dentist will advise you of how long you need to wear your retainer for on completion of your treatment.
