A guide to orthodontics from Presh Mulay
Straightening your teeth is an exciting time, and you want to make sure you get the treatment that is right for you. Here at Presh Mulay, our team of dental professionals will ensure that you receive the best treatment for your needs, and to a very high standard.
Orthodontics Newton Abbot consist of a group of dental treatments that straighten your teeth, each one is effective in their own way and can really help to transform your smile. As opposed to cosmetic options which cover up your imperfections (which can still be a good choice), these treatments move your natural teeth into a straighter position.
Consultation
Before we begin with any treatment, one of our dentists will have a consultation with you, which is an opportunity for us to get to know you, and vice versa. We will also talk about the different orthodontics Newton Abbot options, and which one you are interested in. After this, we will examine your teeth to get an idea of the severity of your case. We may also take scans to help us get a deeper look at your teeth and jaws.
Invisalign
Invisalign is one of our more popular treatments, and this is because the process is very efficient, yet simple. We will provide you with multiple, clear, plastic aligners that are removable and will shift your teeth gently over a certain amount of time. How long Invisalign takes to complete alignment all depends on the severity of your case, but usually it varies from 6-18 months.
The aligners we provide you with are custom-made for your teeth, and will fit snugly around them, increasing comfort. Once we have given you the set of aligners, you will change between them yourself from your own home, which is great if you have a busier schedule, due to the fewer dental appointments needed. You will only need to come in for an appointment with us every 6-8 weeks during the Invisalign process, so that we can check progress and provide you with more aligners.
Inman aligners
If you are looking for a quicker orthodontics Newton Abbot treatment, then Inman aligners could be for you. This aligner focuses on straightening your front teeth, which is helpful if you are looking for a more cosmetic based treatment. Inman aligners straighten your teeth through the use of a removable appliance, which involves two coil springs that cause the two aligner bows to oppose each other. This movement results in a straighter smile, and can be completed in as little as 6 weeks.
ClearCorrect aligners
Another treatment we offer here at Presh Mulay involves clear aligners that are similar to Invisalign, but they have the ability to not just straighten your whole smile, but target a single tooth if needed. So if you just have one tooth that is out of place, but the rest of your teeth are straight, this treatment could be perfect for you.
We recommend that you wear the ClearCorrect aligners all day and all night, but you can simply remove them when it comes to eating and brushing your teeth. Due to the aligners being removable, it means there are no restrictions on what you can eat throughout this treatment, which is always a bonus!
