Braces: What to Expect 0

First things first, what are braces?

Well, braces are an orthodontic procedure that are used to straighten teeth.

Ideally used for people who have crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, they apply pressure to move teeth into the correct positions. At Northenden House we offer different types of braces for your needs; the most common being lingual braces, ceramic braces, and Invisalign aligners.

Getting braces can be quite a daunting, especially when you don’t know what to expect. But worry not as we will guide you through the whole process.

There are 3 main areas we are going to cover so you know what to anticipate.

Choosing Invisalign over ceramic braces 0

All the orthodontic appliances offered at Northenden House Orthodontics will do an excellent job at aligning your teeth.  However cosmetically they all offer variances in visibility. 

Invisalign is a clear tray aligner system that is fitted exactly over your teeth. They are completely transparent so your natural tooth colour is visible through them making them a brilliant cosmetic option.
