There are many different types of orthodontics Weybridge to straighten your teeth, improve the appearance of your smile and promote better dental health and wellbeing. Orthodontics Weybridge is popular in teenagers whose adult teeth have erupted in a crooked and wonky fashion. The majority of children will suffer from a certain extent of misalignment and a perfect smile is very rare. 
There are different reasons for crooked and wonky teeth. Genetics play a major part in the alignment of your teeth, as do a lot of habits and choices. If you use a pacifier in your younger years, if you drink from a bottle for a long period of time or if you suck your thumb, then this can affect the alignment of your teeth. Overcrowding and hyperdontia can also cause crooked and wonky teeth. Overcrowding can occur if your jaw is too small to fit your teeth and hyperdontia is when there are more teeth than normal and not enough space to hold them.
Studies show that 90% of the population have teeth that are at least slightly misaligned, or maloccluded, therefore if you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth, rest assured you are not alone and orthodontics Weybridge can help address your issues, achieve a brand-new smile and healthier teeth and gums at the same time.
Traditional braces
Traditional orthodontics is carried out using metal dental braces. These consist of metal brackets that are fixed to the front surface of your teeth and an archwire that connects the brackets and exerts pressure on your teeth to create a neatly aligned smile. This is the most effective method of orthodontics. It has been used for over a century and is therefore also the most tried and tested. It produces excellent aesthetic results with good longevity. Unfortunately, the brackets and wires are highly visible and therefore patients sometimes avoid orthodontic treatment or look for a more discreet treatment option. In this case, you can think about Incognito lingual braces which work in exactly the same way, but are attached to the back surface of your teeth. Incognito lingual braces are more expensive than traditional braces, however, they provide excellent discretion and no one will even know that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you wish to tell them.
