Orthodontics at The Town Dental

Our orthodontist serves Huddersfield, Wakefield, Barnsley, Halifax, Bradford, Shelley, Shepley, Skelmanthorpe, Pennistone and surrounding areas in West Yorkshire.

Orthodontics is a specialised branch of dentistry focused on straightening crowded or crooked teeth and fixing the bite, such as underbite, crossbite, and also underbite correction. We have adult orthodontics and kids orthodontics. 

It helps to create a healthier bite, improve teeth alignment, and make teeth cleaning easier, as well as giving more confidence in smiling.

Many people think it is only about the cosmetics. However, crowded or misaligned teeth can lead to various complications later in life that affect the remaining teeth, especially in terms of chewing and digestion. It can also affect your sleep and rest. Teeth straightening can help prevent this. 

An orthodontist uses various systems of aligners, such as the very well-known Invisalign and braces, to improve the position of the teeth. At The Town Dental, we tailor orthodontics to your individual needs, clinical situation, lifestyle, and goals. 

Braces and aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth, and the teeth will then move to the desired position. Once the orthodontic treatment is finished, you will need to wear removable retainers.

Orthodontist in Huddersfield and What Treatments Do They Do?

Orthodontists are dentists who have completed additional training in treating problems such as tooth position, jaw development and bite-related issues, and work safely to improve appearance and function. 

We are looking forward to meeting you at The Town Dental if you are looking for simple teeth straightening or more complex orthodontic care; we will tailor the treatment to meet your specific needs. 

What Is the Difference Between an Orthodontist and a Dentist?

A general dentist provides a wide range of dental care, including check-ups, fillings, crowns, hygiene treatment and prevention. Currently, a general dentist can go on courses and provide simple orthodontics. An orthodontist is a dentist who has undertaken further advanced orthodontic training focused specifically on tooth movement, jaw relationships and bite correction.

While some dentists provide orthodontic treatments, a private orthodontist has dedicated advanced training in planning and managing more complex orthodontic cases.

What Age Can You Have Braces?

We can break the myth saying that braces are for kids and teenagers. There is no age limit to get your teeth straightened. It is suitable for adults and senior adults with complex bites before restorative work is done, as well as kids and teenagers. 

Children usually benefit from seeing a private orthodontist for an early assessment to check how the teeth and bite are developing, identify problems earlier, and prevent crowded teeth and jaw problems in the future. 

Many adults nowadays benefit from adult braces or aligners to improve confidence, smile and dental health. 

Many patients ask about the cost of adult braces in the UK; the cost depends on whether your case is complex or simple, what kind of braces you are after and also on the length of time required to treat your case. During the orthodontic consultation, we will explain the options available to treat your case and outline a detailed treatment plan, including the costs and length of the treatment. 

Orthodontics is not ‘ one size fits all’. It depends on whether you are looking for teeth straightening options for your child or yourself; the right option depends on your individual smile, goals and dental needs. 

Our team will help you explore the best options to meet your needs and help you to achieve your dream smile.
