Orthodontics

An attractive smile can play an important role in enhancing self-confidence. Orthodontics can improve the appearance, health and function of your teeth when there is a malocclusion which is a term used for misalignment of teeth or incorrect relation between the teeth of the upper and lower dental arches.

Orthodontic problems are usually apparent by the age of seven, when most of the adult front teeth have erupted. At Putney Dental surgery we encourage regular check-ups so Dr Patel can detect and evaluate problems and plan an appropriate treatment schedule whether it be my removable appliance or referral to an Orthodontist for braces.

Early treatment may prevent more serious problems from developing or make treatment at a later age shorter and less complicated. Early treatment may also achieve results that are not possible once the face and jaws have stopped growing.

At Putney Dental surgery we offer orthodontics where correction can be achieved by Invisible Aligners – Invisalign Go, removable appliances or by Inman Aligners.
