Wetherby Orthodontics is located in Wetherby, North Yorkshire, conveniently serving Wetherby and the surrounding areas including Harrogate, York and Leeds. Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that covers the growth and development of the jaws and teeth, as well as correction of any problems, predominantly teeth straightening. Orthodontic treatment usually involves using various types of braces to correct tooth position to straighten teeth or modify jaw growth. We can show you various types of braces including fixed braces, functional braces and removable braces. We also cater for patients looking for clear and invisible braces such as lingual braces and Invisalign aligners. We will advise you step by step on all you need to know about getting braces and offer advice for the best braces for adults as well as the most suitable orthodontic treatment for children.
Getting braces is a big decision and it’s important that you understand what is involved and are comfortable with the orthodontic treatment you are prescribed. We will listen to and try to cater for your individual needs. If you are concerned about your appearance, apprehensive about discomfort or worried about costs, do mention during your consultation, as these can be taken into account and together we can plan the best treatment to suit your orthodontic and lifestyle needs.
General dental work may be required before any orthodontic treatment to ensure you are dentally fit. For younger patients we often (but not always) advise waiting until the adult teeth are through before carrying out orthodontic treatment. We are more than happy carry out initial examinations when patients still have a mixture of adult and baby teeth, as sometimes this can help to plan for future orthodontic treatment.
