About Us
Orthodontic problems can affect anyone but the good news is that most issues can be treated at any age. At Hampstead Orthodontic Practice we believe it is best for problems to be corrected as early as possible so that they do not persist and cause more damage to the teeth or gums.
Find below some of the orthodontic conditions that we can treat at Hampstead Orthodontic Practice.
Open Bite
Open bite often occurs when some teeth are unable to make physical contact with the opposing teeth for a proper bite.
Deep Bite / Overbite
Deep bite or overbite occurs when the upper teeth bite over the lower teeth.
Gapped Teeth
Gaps between teeth can occur with abnormal continued growth of the jawbone. Missing teeth can also cause the surrounding teeth to shift due to extra space, creating gaps in your teeth.
Overly Crowded
Teeth crowding occurs when there is simply a lack of room within your jaw for all of your teeth to fit normally.
Underbite
Underbite can occur when the lower teeth protrude past the front teeth.
Crossbite
Crossbite can occur when the upper and lower jaws are both misaligned.
The traditional metal braces are no longer the only choice for straightening teeth. You can now choose a more modern, more efficient and more discreet brace system to help you achieve the smile you want.
Whatever your reason for getting in touch, and no matter whether it’s all your teeth or just one that’s twisted, we understand that your smile is a very personal thing and that it can affect your self-confidence dramatically. We would be happy to talk through all the options available with you, helping you choose the right option for you and your lifestyle.
Whichever brace you choose your teeth may feel a little bruised at some points, but it should be a relatively pain-free process. Having straighter teeth also benefits your oral health, as teeth are harder to clean when they are overcrowded and overlapping.
Clear aligners such as the Invisalign aligner system straighten teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner approximately every week, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the projected final position.
Deciding on the right treatment for your individual case can be difficult. Which is why we provide FREE initial Consultations for all our patients. This allows you to discuss your options with one of our team who can point you in the right direction.
If you are ready to start your journey to a new smile, you can then arrange a full clinical assessment with our Specialist Orthodontists.
