Waking up in the morning can be an effort at the best of times (especially if you’re not a morning person), but feeling down the minute you reach the bathroom and look in the mirror is not the way to start the day. You’ve been worrying about your misaligned teeth and you just don’t want to look at yourself. The thought of meeting up with friends who will want to take dreaded selfies is enough to make you want to go back to bed and hide under the duvet. If this sounds familiar to you, you need an orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent. At Ashlow Orthodontics, we are highly experienced specialists in orthodontic treatments. We are members of the BDA Good Practice scheme and we are CQC registered. Our aim is to give you a warm welcome and help you to feel relaxed as we get you on the road to a great smile.

We have an extensive range of treatments to help realign your smile, whatever your alignment issues. Many of our options are discreet and use the latest technology to enable you to have an improved smile in as little as 6 months, where possible.

Clear braces and lingual braces

If you require braces with brackets and wires, we have the option of clear braces, which can sometimes be removable. The brackets are clear in colour and so they are far less noticeable when worn, compared with traditional metal braces. We also offer lingual braces, ‘Incognito’. Incognito consists of the brackets and wires being attached to the backs of your teeth, so that nobody will have a clue that you are wearing braces, unless you choose to give the game away! This can be a great solution for patients who are concerned about other people knowing that they are wearing braces, and the results can be seen quickly. Customised to your mouth, our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent can help you get the smile you will want to flash at everybody, selfies included!

Invisalign

Another potential treatment that doesn’t involve brackets and wires is that of Invisalign. Invisalign comprises clear plastic aligners which are custom made to fit your mouth and sit on the gumline. They apply gentle pressure to your teeth to gradually move them into the desired position. The magic of Invisalign is that the aligners are virtually invisible when worn and they can be removed for up to 2 hours a day! Whether you want to take them out for playing sports or for mealtimes, the choice is yours. You can also take them out when you are brushing and flossing to ensure that you maintain your normal oral hygiene routine. Invisalign also achieves results in as little as 6 months and you will need to wear retainers after the completion of treatment. With an animation of how your teeth will look after treatment has finished before you start wearing your aligners, we reckon you will be delighted and ready to go once your aligners have been manufactured especially for you.
