ORTHODONTICS
ORTHODONTICS AT DR CARMEN AESTHETIC | BASINGSTOKE
Orthodontics is the specialised area of dentistry focused on straightening teeth, correcting bite problems, and improving overall dental alignment. It’s not just about creating a beautiful smile — it’s about improving function, oral health, and long-term stability.
When teeth are properly aligned, they are easier to clean, wear more evenly, and place less strain on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles.
WHO MIGHT NEED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?
Orthodontic treatment is suitable for both children and adults.
Children & Teenagers
Early assessment allows us to monitor growth and identify issues such as:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Protruding front teeth
- Crossbite, overbite, or underbite
- Jaw alignment concerns
Treating problems at the right stage of development can often simplify future treatment and prevent more complex issues later.
Adults
It is never too late to improve your smile. Many adults choose orthodontics to:
- Straighten teeth they’ve always felt self-conscious about
- Correct shifting teeth following previous treatment
- Improve bite issues causing wear or discomfort
- Prepare for cosmetic or restorative dental work
Modern orthodontic options are discreet and comfortable, making treatment more accessible than ever.
WHY CONSIDER ORTHODONTICS?
Orthodontic treatment can:
- Improve smile aesthetics and confidence
- Enhance oral hygiene by making teeth easier to clean
- Reduce uneven tooth wear
- Improve bite function
- Support long-term dental health
A straighter smile is not only cosmetic — it contributes to healthier teeth and gums for years to come.
ADULT FIXED BRACES
PRECISE AND RELIABLE TEETH STRAIGHTENING
Fixed braces are a highly effective way to straighten teeth, even in adulthood.
Using discrete brackets and wires, they gently move your teeth into the ideal position for improved function and a more confident smile. Many adults choose fixed braces because they offer precise control, predictable results, and can treat even complex cases that other systems may not.
CLEAR ALIGNERS
STRAIGHTEN YOUR SMILE INVISIBLY
Clear aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces, using a series of nearly invisible, removable trays to gently move your teeth into place, they're comfortable, discreet, and allow you to eat and clean your teeth with ease throughout treatment. Perfect for adults and teens looking for a subtle way to achieve a straighter, more confident smile.
ORTHODONTIC EXPANDERS
CREATING SPACE FOR A HEALTHIER SMILE
Orthodontic expanders are devices designed to gently widen the upper jaw, creating more space for crowded teeth and improving the bite. They are commonly used in children and teens while the jaw is still developing, but in some cases, adults can benefit too. This treatment helps guide proper alignment, support healthy breathing, and see the foundation for a straighter smile.
YOUR ORTHODONTIC CONSULTATION
Every smile is unique, which is why treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment.
Your initial consultation includes:
- A detailed clinical examination
- An OPG (panoramic) X-ray
- Clinical photographs
These records allow us to carefully assess tooth position, jaw alignment, and overall oral health before designing a personalised treatment plan.
INVESTMENT & TREATMENT PLANNING
Orthodontic fees are arranged following your initial consultation.
Once your scan, OPG X-ray, and photographs have been reviewed, we will provide:
- A bespoke treatment plan
- A clear explanation of your options
- A detailed breakdown of costs
- Flexible payment options where appropriate, choose to pay at each appointment or up front, or choose our 0% finance plans (conditions apply).
This ensures your treatment is fully tailored to your needs, with complete transparency before you begin.
