Orthodontic Treatments Available in Our North London PracticeMany orthodontists stop at teeth straightening. We go one step further and ensure that your treatment plan looks at your entire face, including your profile, bone tissue, lip and muscular structure. We call this higher level of care ‘face-driven orthodontics’.
Orthodontic AppliancesFunctional appliances use the muscle action from speaking, eating and swallowing to create forces that move the teeth and align the jaws. Functional appliances can be removable, or fitted onto the teeth. Fixed appliances are fitted onto the teeth and are commonly called braces. Over a period of about time, the wires are tightened and adjusted, gradually applying gentle force to move the teeth. Retainers are removable appliances, which hold the teeth in place after braces are taken off. |
