Orthodontic Retainer  
An orthodontic retainer is a device used after orthodontic treatment to help maintain the position of the teeth and prevent them from shifting back. Retainers are custom-made to fit the individual patient's teeth. They are usually made of plastic or a combination of plastic and wire.There are two main types of orthodontic retainers: fixed and removable. Fixed retainers consist of a thin wire bonded to the back of the teeth, commonly on the lower front teeth. This wire is invisible from the front and is designed to remain in place for several years or even permanently. Removable retainers can be taken out by the patient for cleaning and eating. They are usually made of clear plastic or acrylic and fit over the teeth like a mouthguard. Patients will be instructed to wear their removable retainers day or night, depending on the recommendation of their orthodontist. Orthodontic retainers are an important part of orthodontic treatment as they maintain the results achieved by braces or other orthodontic appliances. Patients must follow the instructions of their orthodontist regarding the wear and care of their retainers to prevent the teeth from shifting and the need for additional orthodontic treatment.
Braces  
Orthodontic braces are devices used in orthodontic treatment to straighten and align teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health. They consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands that gradually work together to shift the teeth into the desired position over time.Brackets are small metal or ceramic pieces attached to the teeth using a unique adhesive. Wires are then threaded through the brackets and adjusted periodically to apply gentle pressure to the teeth, guiding them into the correct position. Elastic bands help the wires apply the necessary force to the teeth. Orthodontic braces can be made of different materials, including metal, ceramic, or plastic. They can also be customised with different colors and patterns to make them more personalized and fun for patients, especially children, and teenagers. Orthodontic treatment with braces typically lasts for several months to several years, depending on the severity of the dental issues being addressed. Patients must follow a strict oral hygiene routine and attend regular appointments with their orthodontist to ensure good progress and adjustments.
Metal Braces from £3800
Fixed metal braces are our dental practice's most often-used orthodontic system. They are sometimes referred to as traditional braces. They are inexpensive and capable of addressing the majority of orthodontic issues. They may provide a less aesthetically pleasing appearance throughout treatment. However, they are the most efficient and cost-effective solution to align your teeth with fixed braces, even if they are not the most aesthetically pleasing option on the market today. It is currently the most extensively used appliance, with excellent results: elastic bands and brackets in various colors to display your individuality. While aligners cannot solve certain cases and removable devices are time-consuming, a fixed metal brace can handle all orthodontic problems since it applies consistent pressure to your teeth 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your orthodontist will have complete control over the movement of your teeth with metal braces.

The environment is warm, calm and welcomingChristine, UK, 11 01 21

I am a very anxious patient and can absolutely recommend Dr Mike Powell and his wonderful welcoming team. I had to have treatment today and was really afraid. I need not have been. What I thought would be an unpleasant treatment was, in fact, not as bad as I thought it would be. Mike and his Nurse were so calm, kind and reassuring and I can't praise them enough. The environment is warm, calm and welcoming and above also very Covid safe. Fears just melt away, any doubts dissolve and patients are reassured by the extremely kind and friendly receptionists waiting to greet you.

I am an extremely anxious patient, but everybody at Smilekind was very professional and reassuring. I had a new top denture made which fits perfectly; there is no movement, and I can bite and eat anything I want. I really recommend this practice.

I am extremely pleased with my resultsHira, UK, 29 06 23

Excellent results with Invisalign. I am extremely pleased with my results. The reason why I chose Dental on the Banks is that the Invisalign treatment at this practice is done by 2 specialist orthodontists as opposed to general dentists, so I knew going in that my results would be great. By doing further research I found out that they also teach many of the local dentists as well as other orthodontists in the area so I knew at Dental on the Banks I will be in safe hands. My treatment was efficient and quick and they worked together with other specialists in the practice to set me up for some bonding after the Invisalign was done. I have also recommended some friends to come here. If you are looking for a place where you are treated by the best of the best when it comes to Invisalign, this is the clinic for you. I am so happy, thank you so much!!
