Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment can help straighten your teeth, improve your bite, and support long-term dental health. We offer removable clear aligners, fixed braces, and fixed or removable retainers to help create and maintain a smile you can feel confident in.
A straighter smile can make a real difference to both confidence and the way your teeth come together.
At Cramond House, orthodontic treatment is provided by a dentist with a special interest in orthodontics, with options including discreet clear aligners. Every treatment is carefully planned around your teeth, bite and lifestyle, with a focus on achieving a natural-looking, well-balanced result.
What Can Orthodontic Treatment Improve?
Orthodontics is not only about straightening crooked teeth. Treatment can also improve crowding, unwanted spaces between teeth and the way the upper and lower teeth meet.
Whether there is one area of your smile you would like to improve or a more complex alignment problem, we begin by assessing your teeth, gums and bite before discussing what can realistically be achieved and which approach would suit you best.
Planning Your New Smile
Orthodontic treatment begins with a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums and bite. Digital scans, photographs and appropriate X-rays can then be used to create a personalised treatment plan and show how the teeth are expected to move.
Once treatment begins, we review your progress throughout the process and make any adjustments needed to keep everything moving as planned. Treatment time varies considerably depending on how much movement is required and the complexity of your case.
Straightening Teeth with Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet way to straighten the teeth without conventional brackets and wires. A series of custom-made, nearly transparent aligners gently guides the teeth towards their planned positions over time.
They can be removed for eating, drinking and brushing, making them particularly appealing if you want orthodontic treatment that fits comfortably around work and everyday life. Clear aligners can treat many common alignment and bite problems, although suitability depends on the individual case.
Keeping Your Smile in Position
Finishing orthodontic treatment is only part of the journey. Teeth naturally have a tendency to move again, which is why retainers are an important part of protecting your result.
Once your teeth have reached their planned positions, we will provide and advise you on suitable retainers to help maintain your new smile. With the right retention and ongoing care, the result you have worked towards can be enjoyed for many years.
