Straighten your teeth with orthodontics Navan

If you have crooked or wonky teeth, then you need to speak to our Dentist at Navan Dental and find out about orthodontics Navan. Orthodontics Navan is involved with correcting the alignment of your teeth to improve the appearance of your smile and to promote better dental health. Many people are scared of the orthodontist or of orthodontic treatment. However, the benefits of undergoing orthodontics Navan are huge. Avoiding orthodontics Navan can cause serious implications to your dental health and well-being which is why we recommend that you undergo orthodontic treatment at an early age. It is easier to straighten your teeth when you are younger than it is as an adult. This is because whilst your jaw is growing in your younger years, it is easier to move your teeth, but as you grow, the jawbone becomes more dense, and the teeth become fixed more securely in place, making it harder to straighten your teeth. The process itself takes longer, and it may be more inconvenient as an adult than in your younger years.

This is why patients are looking for alternative treatments to traditional orthodontics in Navan. Traditional orthodontic treatment is carried out using metal braces which consist of brackets and wires that are fixed to the surface of your teeth. The wire is either stainless steel or Nitinol and it is adjusted at regular intervals so that it applies continuous pressure to your teeth and it forces them into a better alignment. This is the most effective method of teeth straightening. However, it is commonly avoided by adults. If you wish to find out about alternatives to traditional orthodontics then you need to speak to our Dentist and see what is suitable for you. Alternatives to traditional orthodontic treatment can be just as effective. You may need a combined treatment plan or braces alone may be sufficient for you. Our dentist will put together a tailored treatment plan for you.
