Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry concerned with improving the growth and development of the jaws, teeth and facial appearance as well as correcting the bite by altering tooth position.

Orthodontics can enhance both facial and dental appearance by improving the alignment of your teeth and give you the smile you have always wanted.

At Crown Wood Dental Practice in Bracknell, Berkshire, we offer a comprehensive orthodontic service to complement its dentistry services. It includes a wide range of fixed and removable braces catering for almost every requirement.

The fixed range includes virtually invisible and tooth coloured braces, as well as the conventional silver style. We even have lingual braces which are attached to the inside of the teeth where they can't be seen at all.

With Crown Wood's cutting edge technology treatment may take less time than you think, and our modern braces can be very comfortable and unobtrusive.

What sort of problems can we fix?

• Increased overjet
  Protruding front teeth may suffer from damage and affect the patient's profile. Many patients with this condition are very self-conscious.
• Crowding gaps
  Gaps are the result of too much space in the jaw, while crowding occurs when there is too little space.
• Deep bite
  Deep bites can result in tooth wear and biting of the gums. They occur when the upper teeth overlap the lower excessively, making them almost invisible.
• Incorrect bites
  These give the impression that the lower jaw is too large, and can lead to joint problems and tooth wear. They include cross bites, reverse overjets and class III bites.

There are several other problems which may lead your dentist to refer you to an orthodontist. These include buried, decayed and damaged teeth as well as various gum disorders.

You're never too old

Orthodontic treatment is especially important for children - but it's a myth to believe that orthodontic treatment is suitable only for youngsters.

Straighter, whiter teeth will increase your confidence at any age, whether you're looking for a new job, about to get married or preparing to celebrate the birth of your first grandchild.

And what's more, we make treatment more affordable than ever by enabling you to spread payments over an extended period - at zero interest.
