Once you have had your braces removed you will need to have a retainer fitted to prevent your teeth from moving out of their new perfectly straight position. We've seen many patients come to us after their brace treatment as their teeth have relapsed, meaning their teeth have moved back into their original position. As your teeth are constantly moving we recommend you have a retainer fitted immediately after braces.
As a child, you are usually encouraged by your dentist to start brace treatment free on the NHS so that your teeth can be straightened before your 18th birthday. After, you will have to pay for further dental and orthodontic work you have done. In this blog, we discuss what is the best age for you to start brace treatment.
Invisalign is one of the hidden braces that we have available here at Oldham Orthodontics. Invisalign are clear plastic aligners, which makes them very popular for adult patients who may not like the idea of having traditional metal braces. However, Invisalign is also available to younger patients who prefer a discreet brace option. Some patients come to us to ask whether Invisalign can help fix their underbite and the answer is yes. Read this blog to learn more.
