Could an orthodontist give your confidence a boost?
Let’s start with what an orthodontist does. They are a specialist dentist who diagnose and treat both teeth and jaw irregularities. Whilst commonly you might associate an orthodontist with assisting teenagers they actually work with all ages. M Dental Canada Water works with both teenagers and adults to correct misalignment issues, fix overcrowding of teeth, straighten teeth and identify dental problems which might happen in future.
What our M Dental patients say
Something we have heard from a lot of patients, here at M Dental Canada Water, over the years is that they lack confidence in their smile. This is perhaps because they haven’t received expert dental care before or because of another issue like ill health or an accident. The lives we lead are a big factor in how healthy are teeth and jaws are. It isn’t just excessive sugar and alcohol which can be problematic. Extreme sports, bad habits and accidents also play a part.
We often hear comments from our M Dental patients such as:
“I put my hand over my mouth when I speak. I do not want people seeing my teeth”
and
“I stop myself laughing so people don’t see my teeth”

What does Orthodontic Treatment Look Like here at M Dental Canada Water
The most common treatment by orthodontists is the use of braces and aligners like Invisalign. The treatment used will depend on the severity of the issue that needs to be corrected. For instance clear aligners are primarily used to fix more minor alignment issues.
Orthodontists do undertake other treatments, and in some cases, orthodontic surgery which can be used to treat more serious under-bite or overbite issues.
What usually happens at a first orthodontic treatment?
Usually a dentist will notice misalignment and refer you onto an orthodontist. Here at M Dental our experts work together to ensure you receive the care you need. Because we have an expert orthodontist on our team we can refer you to the specialist you need, and treat you in-house. Whilst primarily orthodontic work is from referrals, from other dentists, it is also possible to self refer yourself to our orthodontic expert here at M Dental Canada Water.
Typically at a first appointment with the orthodontist you will have an examination. Thereafter photos of your teeth and jaw are taken along with x-rays. This process enables the orthodontist to assess the extent of the alignment issues and discuss with you a treatment plan. Thereafter, and before treatment, impressions of your teeth and jaws will be taken. This enables the M Dental expert orthodontist to work their magic by creating a mould of your teeth. Thereafter orthodontic treatment can start.
