The benefits of orthodontic treatment

There is a misconception that braces are only available for children. The truth is that more adults are opting for orthodontic treatment than ever before!

It is never too late to get that winning smile. Teeth can be moved successfully provided they and the gums and supporting structures are healthy.

We have compiled a list of the benefits of orthodontic treatment as documented in scientific studies and also from personal experience.

A winning smile makes a great first impression

Everyone appreciates the importance of a winning smile and how it can enhance our self-confidence. Our smiles are a big part of our identity and influence how others perceive us. At No1 The Orthodontic Specialists, we create beautiful smiles to suit your face. Your treatment will be one of the most valuable investments you will make to improve your image.

Physiological benefits

  • Straight teeth are easier to clean, as there are fewer plaque and food traps. They are less prone to decay and gum disease
  • Reduce the risk of injury to protruding teeth
  • A good bite should result in less strain on the jaw joints and muscles
  • Spaces can be closed if teeth are small or missing to obviate the need for dentures/bridges or implants
  • To help stop digit sucking habits that harm the bite
  • To prepare teeth and bite for other dental treatment

Children only

  • To modify growth and help improve the facial profile
  • To guide teeth that are erupting out of position or stuck in the bone

At No1 The Orthodontic Specialists, we have several different tried and tested braces including clear braces, Invisalign™ braces, and hidden lingual braces, to help you get that winning smile. The benefits of having a beautiful smile are long lasting. You will not regret your decision to improve your smile. Come and see us to find out your options. To find out more click here .

    Beatriz Porto No.1 orthodontist literally lifted up my confidence, they were very precise with how I wanted my teeth to look and they turned out absolutely amazing. The team is so caring and they make you feel so comfortable would definitely recommend to my family and friends if they ever need their teeth perfect.

    My daughter had complex dental issues which meant first a removable brace when she was very young then fixed braces as a teen. Now 7 years later she's happy and confident with her teeth. Everyone at No1 was fantastic. During COVID she was still only 10 years old but their reassurance meant she happily went into her appointment without any parents. All the technicians are brilliant, I love the way all staff input is listened to regardless of their level. Makes for a great outcome for my daughter. Thank you so much.

    At 64 years old, I wondered if the 2 years plus aligner plan, was doable or worth it. I took the plunge and I am really pleased with the results. Anjli gave my a lot of information and time for me to make my decision and I found it an easy process to go through. No one ever noticed my clear aligners. Laura was my main contact who oversaw my treatment and she's really easy to ask any questions as you go through treatment, always felt I was in safe hands and is very positive in her approach to get the best outcome for you, so just do it 😀

    Had a wonderful experience for my 3 year braces journey with the Dental nurses all being friendly and easy going. Most importantly, my teeth problems have been fixed amazingly well.

    I had a very positive experience with No. 1 Orthodontist in Mickleover. From my initial consultation onwards, the entire team was friendly, professional, and welcoming. The orthodontists took the time to explain the treatment process and answer all of my questions, making me feel informed and comfortable throughout my time as a patient. I chose Angel Aligners and was very impressed with the care, attention, and support I received from the team. Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, I was unable to complete my treatment. However, my experience with the practice was excellent from start to finish, and I was always treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect. I would happily recommend No. 1 Orthodontist to anyone considering orthodontic treatment and would like to thank the whole team for their outstanding service.
