Get Your Perfect Smile with Traditional Braces

At Straight Road Dental Clinic, we offer traditional braces since they are still one of the most effective ways for straightening teeth & transforming smiles. While these types of braces have been in use as orthodontic treatment for decades, the technology continues to improve. If you live in Essex, call 01206 769695 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Santosh Patil & discuss which types of braces are right for you.

Clear Ceramic Braces

If you would prefer your braces to be less prominent, ceramics might be a great option for you. The use of ceramic material allows the brackets to be clear or matched to the natural color of your teeth.

While Ceramic braces are more expensive than traditional braces, they are a very popular alternative to metal braces, specially among teens and adults.

Incognito Lingual Braces

If you’re thinking about getting braces, you’re probably already looking forward to your new smile. But you don’t need to wait until the braces come off to smile with confidence! Incognito Hidden Braces work behind the scenes – literally – so no one can see you’re wearing braces. The braces are hidden behind your teeth and practically invisible when you smile. And they’re 100% customized for you, so you can be confident in the results.

Most patients who can be treated with conventional braces can also be treated with hidden braces.

Metallic Braces - Sleeker Than Ever

Today’s metal braces are far smaller and less noticeable. New technology has also created wires that move teeth faster and with less pain.

This is the type of braces that most teenagers get, because they are the least expensive version and are often the fastest way of moving teeth into their ideal locations.

The Treatment Process

At your first visit, Dr. Santosh will listen to your concerns and evaluate your teeth structure. Photagraphs & X-Rays may be taken. Dr. Santosh will then discuss your treatment options, duration and the fees.

At your next visit, Dr Santosh will fix the braces and educate you to take care for your new braces. This will take 60 minutes and is quite comfortable.

Dr. Santosh will then review your progress at a regular 6-8 week interval. Treatment duration can be anywhere between 12 to 30 months.

Once you have achieved your desired smile, your braces will be removed.

Retaining Your Smile

A retainer keeps your teeth from moving after they’ve been straightened with braces. It can take at least 4 – 6 months for the new position of your teeth to become permanent. During that time, your teeth will try to shift back to their original position, which is called relapse. A retainer prevents this from happening.

Dr. Santosh will provide you with a fixed & removable retainer option to keep your newly straightened teeth in position.

A painless extraction. I had suddenly lost a large filling in a tooth that had been troublesome for sometime. I phoned at 9:30 and spoke to a very efficient receptionist who offered me a 12:30 appointment as a new NHS patient. On arrival at the practice I was met by a very friendly dental nurse and ushered through to the treatment room where the dentist began the examination, taking great care to reassuringly explain how he intended to proceed. All options were explained to me and it was obvious the tooth needed to come out. From the application of anaesthetic to the final extraction, I can honestly say the most I felt was a slight discomfort. Afterwards the aftercare was carefully explained in detail and I was provided with written instructions. I am genuinely impressed by the friendly and professional service provided at short notice and have no hesitation in recommending the practice.

After a long absence from the dentist’s office, I finally faced the music and made an appointment with Stright Road Dental practice. They could not have been more accommodating, friendly, and professional. Zero shame from them while being uplifting and kind. Thank you for easing my anxiousness and fear. Definitely recommend
