At Ewan Bramley Dental Care, we believe that orthodontics is more than just straightening teeth—it’s about improving oral health, boosting confidence, and enhancing quality of life. We sat down with one of our experienced dentists to discuss the importance of orthodontics, how modern technology like Smile Wide is revolutionising treatment and advice for those considering their orthodontic journey.

 

Can you explain the importance of orthodontics in overall dental health and how it contributes to a patient’s well-being?

Orthodontics is essential for both oral health and overall well-being. Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Proper alignment improves chewing, speaking, and jaw function, preventing issues like TMJ disorders. Orthodontic care also helps distribute bite forces evenly, protecting patient’s teeth and gums. Beyond health, it boosts confidence with a great smile, improving your quality of life.

 

What are some of the most common orthodontic issues you see in your patients, and how do modern treatments address them?

Orthodontic issues are common, and modern treatments make fixing them easier than ever. Here are a few examples:

  1. Crowded Teeth: When teeth don’t have enough room, they overlap and are harder to clean. Braces or clear aligners straighten them out for a healthier smile.
  2. Overbite or Underbite: If your top or bottom teeth don’t line up properly, it can affect your bite. Braces, elastics, or special appliances help correct this.
  3. Spacing: Gaps between teeth can make you self-conscious and affect function. Aligners or braces can close those spaces beautifully.
  4. Crossbite: When upper and lower teeth don’t align, it can cause uneven wear. Expanders or braces can fix this comfortably.
  5. Open Bite: If your teeth don’t meet in the front, it can make chewing difficult. Braces or appliances help bring them together.

With today’s advanced options like clear aligners, discreet braces, and faster treatments, getting a healthier, more confident smile is simpler and more comfortable than ever.
