Orthodontic Dentistry
At Thorpe Lea Dental, we offer orthodontic care to help you or your family achieve straighter, healthier smiles. Whether addressing crooked teeth, overcrowding, gaps, or bite issues, our tailored orthodontic solutions are designed with your comfort and long-term oral health in mind.
From children requiring early intervention to adults seeking discreet options like clear aligners, we provide orthodontic treatments for patients of all ages in Staines and the surrounding areas.
Creating beautiful, straight smiles
We believe a straighter smile isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s also about improving oral health. Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and maintain, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Orthodontics can also correct bite issues that might lead to jaw pain or uneven tooth wear.
Orthodontic treatment options
Traditional metal braces
Effective for addressing complex alignment or bite issues, metal braces remain a reliable and durable choice for patients of all ages.
Clear braces
For those seeking a more discreet option, clear braces use tooth-coloured brackets for a less noticeable appearance.
Clear aligners
Removable and nearly invisible, clear aligners such as Invisalign offer flexibility and convenience for patients seeking a modern solution to straightening their teeth.
Your orthodontic journey at Thorpe Lea Dental
Initial consultation
During your first visit, your dentist will assess your teeth and bite alignment using advanced diagnostics, including digital scans and X-rays, to determine the best orthodontic treatment for your needs.
Personalised treatment plan
We’ll discuss your options and create a customised plan, including timeframes and cost estimates. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed about your orthodontic care.
Fitting and adjustments
Once your treatment begins, we’ll guide you through the process, with regular adjustments and reviews to monitor your progress.
Retention and aftercare
After achieving your desired results, we’ll provide retainers to help maintain your new smile and offer advice for long-term oral care.
Early orthodontic care
Orthodontic issues are often easier to correct when caught early, which is why we recommend bringing children in for an orthodontic assessment around age seven. Early intervention can guide the development of permanent teeth and help prevent more extensive treatments later in life.
Let Thorpe Lea Dental help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted with expert orthodontic care in the heart of Staines.
We recommend scheduling an orthodontic assessment for your child around the age of seven. Early evaluations can help identify potential alignment issues and allow us to plan for timely and effective treatments if necessary.
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the type of orthodontic solution chosen. On average, treatments like braces or clear aligners can take anywhere from 12 to 24 months. Your dentist will provide a personalised timeframe during your consultation.
Clear aligners are highly effective for addressing mild to moderate alignment issues, including crooked teeth and gaps. For more complex cases, traditional braces may be a better option. We’ll discuss the best solution for your needs during your consultation.
