Orthodontic Treatment Procedures

At London Dental Specialists, we offer a range of advanced orthodontic treatments to address various dental alignment issues. Our expert orthodontists use state-of-the-art techniques to ensure optimal results for each patient. Here's what you can expect during your orthodontic treatment:

• Customised Appliance Fitting: Whether you're receiving traditional braces, ceramic braces, or clear aligners, we'll carefully fit your chosen orthodontic appliance for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Types of Orthodontic Treatments

We offer several orthodontic solutions to suit different needs and preferences:

The Orthodontic Treatment Process

Our comprehensive orthodontic care typically involves these key steps:

1. Initial Bonding or Fitting: We'll place your braces or provide your first set of clear aligners, ensuring a proper fit.


2. Adjustment Period: You'll adapt to your new appliance, with our team offering support and advice throughout.


3. Active Treatment: Regular visits for adjustments or new aligners to progressively align your teeth.


4. Refinement: Fine-tuning your smile as we approach the end of active treatment.


5. Retention: Fitting of retainers to maintain your new smile after active treatment concludes.

Advanced Orthodontic Techniques

London Dental Specialists employs cutting-edge orthodontic methods to enhance treatment outcomes:

• Digital Treatment Planning: We use 3D imaging and computer-aided design for precise treatment mapping.


• Accelerated Orthodontics: In some cases, we may recommend techniques to speed up tooth movement safely.


• Combination Therapies: For complex cases, we might combine orthodontics with other dental treatments for comprehensive care.

Ensuring Comfort During Treatment

We prioritise your comfort throughout the orthodontic process:

• Gentle Techniques: Our specialists use modern, low-force methods to minimise discomfort.


• Wax and Relief Aids: We provide dental wax and other tools to alleviate any irritation from braces.


• Personalised Care: Our team is always available to address any concerns and offer solutions for a comfortable treatment experience.

At London Dental Specialists, we're committed to delivering exceptional orthodontic care tailored to your unique needs. Our expert team will guide you through each step of your treatment, ensuring you achieve the straight, healthy smile you desire.

Post Orthodontic Treatment Care

Maintaining your newly aligned smile is crucial after completing your orthodontic treatment at London Dental Specialists. Post-treatment care ensures the longevity of your results and protects your investment in your dental health. Our comprehensive aftercare programme is designed to preserve your beautiful new smile for years to come.

• Custom Retainer Fitting: We'll create personalised retainers specifically designed for your teeth to maintain their new position.


• Detailed Retention Instructions: Our specialists will provide clear guidance on how long and when to wear your retainers.


• Regular Follow-up Appointments: We schedule periodic check-ups to monitor your teeth and make any necessary adjustments to your retainers.


• Enhanced Oral Hygiene Protocol: You'll receive specific recommendations for maintaining excellent oral health after orthodontic treatment.

Types of Retainers

The retention phase is just as important as the active treatment itself. Without proper retention, teeth can gradually shift back towards their original positions, a phenomenon known as relapse. Our orthodontists at London Dental Specialists will recommend the most appropriate retention strategy based on your specific case and treatment outcomes.

Long-term Care for Orthodontic Results

Beyond wearing retainers, we recommend these essential practices to preserve your new smile:

• Regular Dental Check-ups: Continue with bi-annual dental examinations and professional cleanings.


• Retainer Maintenance: Clean your removable retainers daily and bring them to appointments for professional assessment.


• Protective Measures: Consider a custom mouthguard if you participate in sports or a night guard if you grind your teeth.


• Mindful Eating Habits: Avoid extremely hard foods that could damage retainers or fixed retention wires.

At London Dental Specialists, our commitment to your orthodontic success extends well beyond the active treatment phase. We provide ongoing support and guidance to ensure your investment in orthodontic treatment continues to reward you with a confident, healthy smile for life.
