Why Teeth Straightening Matters?

Enhanced appearance

A straighter smile improves facial balance and boosts confidence, allowing your smile to express your personality more naturally.

1

Healthier teeth and gums

Well-aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of decay, gum disease, and plaque accumulation.

2

Improved jaw function

Correcting bite alignment eases pressure on the jaw joints, helping to relieve discomfort and prevent long-term issues.

3

Better overall health

Properly aligned teeth support efficient chewing and digestion, contributing to improved overall health and wellbeing.

4

Increased social confidence

A balanced smile enhances self-esteem, helping you feel more relaxed and assured in social and professional settings.

5

Reduced risk of injury

Straighter teeth lower the likelihood of accidentally biting your lips, cheeks or tongue during daily activities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment.

Treatment duration depends on your individual needs and the technique used, with most patients seeing results in six to eighteen months.

Modern orthodontic treatments are gentle and comfortable. You may experience slight pressure initially, but this quickly eases as your mouth adjusts.

For mild alignment concerns, noticeable improvements can appear within three months, though complete results typically require a longer treatment period.

Your Treatment Journey

Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with Polegate Dental Practice.

Consultation

Your journey starts with a detailed assessment, including X-rays and a discussion about your bite concerns. We’ll then recommend the most effective orthodontic solution.

Treatment

Depending on your chosen treatment, the process may take several weeks or months. Regular review appointments ensure steady progress and allow for any necessary adjustments.

Aftercare

Once your teeth are beautifully aligned, we’ll provide custom-made retainers to maintain your results and prevent any unwanted movement over time.

Came in a panic on Monday, as my tooth was really painful … they originally scheduled for the filling to be done next week Friday but thankfully they had a cancellation and were able to see me today.
Really great service … I told the lady dentist seeing me, that I get a bit nervous when I’m in the chair and she was super professional by stopping and telling me everything that was going on when I tensed up … kept checking to see if I was comfortable and smoothed out the rough part I could feel with my tongue at the end of the filling.
Didn’t push the private filling on me at all as she said the NHS one was fine for what I needed done.

Really couldn’t be happier .. she also cleaned up a previous filling I had done as she could see that there was something wrong with it.

Excellent teamwork from M. Saad (dentist) and Sylvia (nurse) who were my dental team on a recent check-up. Very good communication, I was kept informed throughout about the procedure which was done with care and they kindly minimised any discomfort from the treatment.
