Short-term orthodontics refers to dental treatment that focuses on straightening the front 6 to 8 teeth (from canine to canine or first premolar to premolar). The treatment aims to level and align teeth in the same way as comprehensive orthodontics but within a shorter timeframe. This approach is ideal for patients seeking cosmetic improvements to their smile without requiring full orthodontic treatment.
Short-term orthodontic treatment at London Dental Specialists typically takes between 3 to 9 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Some straightforward cases may be completed in as little as 6 months, while more complex alignment issues might require up to 12 months. Your dentist will provide a personalised timeline during your initial consultation.
Short-term orthodontics offers several advantages over traditional braces, including:
You may be a suitable candidate for short-term orthodontics if you have mild to moderate alignment issues affecting your front teeth. Ideal candidates typically have good overall dental health, no significant bite problems, and are primarily concerned with improving the cosmetic appearance of their smile. A comprehensive assessment at London Dental Specialists will determine if this treatment is appropriate for your specific needs.
London Dental Specialists offers several short-term orthodontic options, including clear aligner systems and tooth-coloured fixed braces specifically designed for shorter treatment durations. During your consultation, our specialists will recommend the most appropriate system based on your specific dental needs, lifestyle preferences, and desired outcomes.
Short-term orthodontics is designed primarily to address cosmetic concerns involving the front teeth. It is not intended to correct complex bite issues, significant jaw misalignments, or problems with back teeth. For comprehensive orthodontic needs, London Dental Specialists also offers traditional orthodontic treatments. Our specialists will advise whether short-term or comprehensive orthodontics is more appropriate for your situation.
Short-term orthodontic treatment typically causes minimal discomfort. Patients may experience some pressure or tenderness for a few days after adjustments or when switching to new aligners, but this is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed. The discomfort is generally less than with traditional comprehensive orthodontics due to the more focused nature of the treatment.
After completing short-term orthodontic treatment, you will need to wear retainers to maintain your new smile. London Dental Specialists provides both removable and fixed retainer options. Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your results and ensure your teeth remain in their new positions. With proper retainer use and regular dental check-ups, your results can be maintained for years to come.
The cost of short-term orthodontic treatment at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the complexity of your case and the specific treatment system used. Generally, short-term orthodontics is more affordable than comprehensive orthodontic treatment due to the reduced treatment time and focused approach. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed treatment plan including all costs, and we offer various payment plans to help make treatment more accessible.
