Before receiving treatment with Dr. Cheong, I was concerned about pain. Not only was the treatment painless, I did not feel ANY pain afterwards. I highly recommend The Dental Connection to anyone interested in receiving professional and painless Implants.Quote Right

Orthodontic Services Surbiton

At The Dental Connection, we offer a range of orthodontic solutions tailored to your needs. Orthodontics isn't one-size-fits-all, and we have several options to help you achieve a straight, confident smile.

Traditional Braces

These are the classic option for correcting crooked teeth. Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires to gently shift your teeth into place. They are highly effective for a variety of complex alignment issues.

Ceramic Braces

If you want a less noticeable option, ceramic braces are a great choice. They work like traditional braces but use tooth-coloured brackets, blending seamlessly with your natural smile.

Incognito Braces

For those seeking complete discretion, Incognito braces are fitted behind your teeth. This lingual system offers the effectiveness of braces without being visible from the front.

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth gradually. These aligners are nearly invisible and provide the flexibility to remove them for eating and cleaning, making them ideal for a busy lifestyle.

What Issues Can Braces Fix?

Braces are a powerful tool to transform your smile. They correct misalignments and enhance your bite for better oral health. With the right treatment, many dental issues become easier to manage.

  • Crooked or misaligned teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites and underbites
  • Crossbites
  • Crowded teeth
  • Spacing issues

When Is the Right Time for My Child to Have Braces Fitted?

Many people think that only children need braces, but adults can benefit from orthodontic treatment too! For kids, we typically recommend an initial orthodontic evaluation around age 7. This early check-up helps us spot any developing issues and determine the best time to start treatment.

Starting early can also guide proper jaw and teeth development, making future corrections simpler. If braces are needed, the treatment plan will be tailored to your child's unique growth and needs for a healthy, beautiful smile.

FAQs

Why should I get orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment does more than enhance your smile. It improves your bite, supports overall oral health, and makes cleaning your teeth easier. A well-aligned smile boosts both confidence and comfort.

Is there anything that needs to be done before getting braces?

Before getting braces, you'll need a thorough dental check-up. We take x-rays and assess your oral health to ensure your teeth and gums are ready. Any cavities or gum issues will be treated first.

Is a deep bite the same as an overbite?

No, they are not the same. A deep bite refers to an excessive vertical overlap of your upper teeth over your lower teeth. An overbite is when the upper teeth extend too far forward horizontally over the lower teeth.

What are the Options for Invisible Braces?

You have several discrete choices for straightening your teeth:

  • Invisalign Clear, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth.
  • Ceramic Braces: Brackets that blend with your natural tooth colour.
  • Lingual Braces: Braces placed on the back of your teeth for complete invisibility.

Won't my child's teeth straighten out as they grow?

While natural growth can lead to some changes, early issues often need guidance. An orthodontic evaluation around age 7 can spot developing problems early. Timely intervention helps ensure your child's teeth develop correctly.

Does getting braces hurt? What about wearing them?

Getting braces fitted might cause some mild discomfort, but it is usually brief. Once fitted, most patients quickly adapt and find regular adjustments manageable. Any soreness typically subsides within a few days.

Will I need to have any teeth extracted?

Extractions are not always necessary. Your orthodontist in Surbiton will determine if any extractions are needed based on your specific case. Many treatments can achieve excellent results without removing any teeth.
