What are the best braces for straightening adults’ teeth in Grantham, Lincolnshire?
The British Orthodontic Society has reported that 45% of adults are unhappy with their teeth. Why is this the case, when there are so many affordable, discreet braces brands available on the marketplace?
Not being registered with a dentist is one possibility. If you don’t have a dentist to ask about your tooth straightening options, you’re unlikely to receive reliable advice on orthodontics. The National Smile Month campaign reported that 39% of adults in England admit to not seeing a dentist regularly and a quarter of adults in England haven’t seen a dentist in over 2 years! If you live in Grantham, Lincolnshire, please give our practice a call. We welcome all new patients.
Finance plans help make tooth straightening treatment affordable
The perception that professional orthodontic treatment is unaffordable is another reason why adults are failing to seek out the tooth straightening treatment they need. After a recent fad, that saw teenagers using cheap elastic bands to straighten their teeth, causing tooth loss in the process, the American Journal of Orthodontics was forced to step in to put a stop to the YouTube campaign that was promoting their DIY tooth straightening methods. The worry was that teenagers would be damaging their tooth enamel as the elastic bands rubbed up and down the teeth.
In actual fact, thanks to modern finance plans, such as the Lincolnshire-based one we offer, you can spread the costs of treatment over many months. Adult braces have now reached extremely achievable prices. If only those unfortunate teenagers had visited our Dental Health Centre practice in Grantham. They would have received proper advice, treatment and they’d still have their natural teeth as well.
The importance of straight teeth
We’re happy to have our kids’ teeth checked, but we’re not visiting the dentist to have our own teeth straightened. We’re living with crooked teeth and this is detrimental, not just for our confidence, but also for our health. Teeth out of alignment means you’re more susceptible to plaque build up and consequently, gum disease, which has been linked to further complications such as heart disease. We don’t have to live like that. To reduce exposing ourselves to further health risks, we simply have to get our teeth straightened.
The best adult braces in Grantham
In our expert opinion, the best adult braces for tooth straightening in Grantham are Smilelign’s Clear Aligners. The tools of your treatment are hard plastic trays, custom-made to fit your individual teeth. Gently but precisely, your teeth will be dragged into alignment to give you a straighter smile. You won’t just wear the one tray, but a series of them; one after the other, each designed to shift your teeth a little further. Your dedicated and experienced Grantham orthodontist will change your trays for you every few weeks, but bear in mind that they are designed to be removable. This means you can take them out for eating and drinking, but you’ll have no problems with food sticking to your brace, a regular occurrence with traditional fixed braces.
