Treatment may be required to straighten your teeth or even correct the size or relationship of the jaws. Orthodontic treatment is well known for its use in correcting the growing pattern on children’s teeth alignment but is equally effective for all age groups.

A poor bite, or teeth that do not meet properly in the mouth, can cause problems around the jaw. Solving this problem can offer great relief from uncomfortable eating and chewing and even talking. The Harley Street Dental Clinic will assess the functioning of the mouth, jaws and teeth to ensure that the best treatment is prescribed.

Often braces are required, perhaps more often in children although they are increasingly used in treating adults. These may be fixed or removable – again depending on the problem. Recent developments in braces have allowed for faster and more comfortable treatment, such as Invisi-line, and clear braces are more popular with adults.

Orthodontic treatment may take longer than other procedures, but often involves no surgical intervention. However treatment requiring massive correction may require surgery.
