Straighter smiles made simple in Wanstead and East London.

Orthodontics is a specialist field of dentistry that involves diagnosing a problem with teeth and jaws that are not positioned correctly. In most cases, the treatment required is either preventative, or corrective in nature. This usually involves braces. Unfortunately, the image that comes to the mind of most people when you mention braces is those cumbersome chunks of metal that look more like a medieval torture device. Many years ago, that’s exactly what they were. Today’s orthodontics are considerably less unsightly and aren’t as uncomfortable as their predecessors. Ace Dental orthodontics offer the perfect solution for any crooked smile. From the initial consultation until the final fitting, your teeth are in good hands. Ace Dental also offer discreet alternatives to old-fashioned braces, making treatment more comfortable and less noticeable.

Teenagers and young adults with braces often had to put up with derogatory names that came with these contraptions. Names like metal-mouth, grillz, and bear traps, to name a few. This type of teasing made those with braces self-conscious and uncomfortable. Ace Dental have some fantastic alternatives to those horrible old metal braces that are discreet and a lot more comfortable.Invisalign The beauty of Invisalign braces is that they are almost invisible.

They are a system of braces that are custom made to fit your teeth perfectly and gradually reposition your teeth until the desired result of a straight smile is achieved. Invisalign braces can successfully straighten teeth that are crowded, crooked or unevenly spaced. Straightening your teeth with Invisalign braces will require several visits to the dentist with a new custom-made set of braces being made at each phase of the straightening process. You can take your Invisalign braces out when you need to eat or brush your teeth making it considerably easier to maintain your oral hygiene regimen.

Your first visit with your Ace Dental practitioner is to discuss the options available to you and to thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and jaw. We also take a 3D scan of your tooth to gain a complete picture. The 3D scan gives your dentist vital information and a clearer image of what needs to be done. It also makes it easier to put together a plan and a more accurate timeframe for your treatment. Once the scans and examinations have been completed, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth. This imprint is sent to the lab so that your custom braces can be made. The final visit is to have you fitted with your new braces. In the case of Invisalign, the dentist will give you instructions on how to use them at home. At follow-up visits we’ll check the progress of your orthodontic treatment and make any necessary adjustments.

Being fitted with orthodontics is relatively painless, but you may feel a little pressure and discomfort for a short period of time. You may feel similar minor discomfort at each follow up visit when your braces are adjusted. In the case of Invisalign you may experience some discomfort at the initial fitting and each time you are fitted with a new aligner but this will soon pass. The length of time each patient needs to wear braces depends on the extent of the issue being corrected. You may also need to wear a fixed or removable retainer after your braces have been removed to prevent your teeth from shifting out of position.
